Senior Product Manager — Data Platform

Help unlock the potential of nearly a century of Gallup data. As a senior product manager of our data platform at Gallup, you’ll shape how we use nearly 100 years of data to power analytics, research, AI/ML workflows and product development. In this role, you’ll have a unique opportunity to modernize a complex legacy data environment and build a scalable, trusted, self-service platform. With the freedom to learn and experiment, you’ll create new possibilities for how Gallup uses its extensive data to deliver insights and solutions to leaders around the world. What You’ll Do Own the strategy and road map for Gallup’s enterprise data platform, ingestion, transformation pipelines, semantic layers and platform tooling Translate architectural direction into quarterly plans with clear milestones, dependencies and adoption goals Partner with data architects and engineers to deliver reliable, scalable infrastructure that balances consumer needs, shared platform capabilities and long-term sustainability Evaluate build-versus-buy decisions and identify reusable abstractions and self-service capabilities that reduce one-off engineering work Establish data-as-a-product standards, including ownership models, service level agreements (SLAs), data contracts, interface standards, platform success metrics and data modeling conventions Help shape governance frameworks for data quality, schema controls, change management and observability Serve as the front door for platform needs, translating stakeholder demand into scalable platform problems, patterns and investment decisions Communicate platform capabilities, road map progress, tradeoffs and constraints clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders What Makes You Stand Out Horizontal platform thinking: You instinctively look across teams and use cases to identify reusable capabilities that create enterprise leverage rather than solving each request as a one-off feature. Deep data fluency: You understand modern data platforms well enough to engage architects and engineers on ingestion, storage, transformation, orchestration, data modeling and infrastructure tradeoffs while bringing strong product judgment to the conversation. Decisive product leadership: You can turn ambiguity into a clear road map, make thoughtful tradeoffs and hold the line on platform scope, including saying no diplomatically when requests do not support the broader strategy. Influence across boundaries: You build credibility quickly; navigate competing priorities; and align engineering, product, analytics, data science and senior stakeholders without relying on direct authority. Ownership through execution: You take accountability for complex work, anticipate risks and keep teams moving from strategy to measurable outcomes.
