THE ROLE We're looking for a Product Manager to join our highly collaborative, driven, and creative Product & Engineering team. It’s never been a more exciting time to work at a data company building products on mountains of proprietary data. For the last few years, we’ve been continuously innovating on how we leverage AI to meet the next level of customer need, with creativity and speed. This is an execution-first role. You'll partner day-to-day with Engineering to turn priorities into a strong, well-run backlog — writing tickets, unblocking work, tracking down the follow-up nobody else caught, and making sure nothing stalls between teams. We do a lot of our work in ambiguous problem spaces that are being mapped out as we go. Your job is to bring clarity and momentum to the work, not to have all the answers on day one. You'll work closely with a Senior PM who owns the broader strategic picture across two engineering teams. What we need most is someone who can lock into the details, keep things moving, and build trust with engineers and stakeholders along the way. Over time, as you build context and track record, this role has room to grow into more strategic ownership and direct client-facing work. We're intentionally open on background here. We're less focused on whether you've run a product team before and more focused on whether you're a self-starter who's smart, curious, and proactive. A few years of relevant experience is great; what matters most is how you operate. WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON Execution (the core of this role) - Own a clean, prioritized backlog with clear user stories, requirements, acceptance criteria, and scope decisions. Following up until requirements actually land - Partner with engineering on solution design and scope, pushing for iterative releases that get value out the door without waiting for perfect - Set the team up for productive planning and refinement by coming prepared, not catching up in the room - Track the metrics that tell you whether something's actually working, and use them to inform what's next - Proactively surface risks, blockers, and things that aren't connecting — before they turn into fire drills Strategy (collaborative, growing over time) - Work with Engineering leads and your Senior PM partner to help shape and prioritize problem statements - Build enough domain fluency — through relentless, good-natured question-asking — to understand not just what you're building, but why it matters and what it unlocks downstream - Communicate clearly to a range of audiences: writing help docs and release notes, and keeping stakeholders honestly informed on status - As you grow in the role, take on more direct stakeholder and client conversations — asking the right discovery questions rather than just relaying what Engineering tells you ABOUT YOU - Roughly 3-5 years of relevant experience — this can be product management, or another background (engineering, operations, client success, program management) that's built the same muscles - Proactive, low-ego, and coll
