The Impact You Will Make The Product Manager sits on the Enterprise Data team and partners with the marketing and operations analytics function. You will be a close, trusted partner to the marketing operations team- earning their confidence, learning their goals, and making it easy for them to turn their asks into clear, buildable data products. Working within the product strategy and vision set by leadership, you bring product thinking to how requirements are shaped, owned, prioritized, and delivered. This role is the bridge between business questions and the data that answers them. You will work with marketing analytics operations and business users from the COO org to understand their key questions and KPIs, translate them into clear product requirements, and then partner with the enterprise data and marketing analytics teams to deliver data products (treated tables, semantic layer, reports, and dashboards) that generate the insights leaders need. Your value lies in framing the right questions, defining clear requirements, and ensuring that what is delivered truly answers them. You will need to influence and align stakeholders across functions, reconciling differing points of view to reach a unified set of metrics and a single source of truth, and partnering with executive sponsors when alignment is difficult to reach. You will have discretion to adjust priorities as new information emerges, communicating any changes to key stakeholders, and you'll connect individual requests to the bigger picture so that what gets delivered avoids rework and truly drives outcomes. If you enjoy solving business problems, working across teams, and turning data into decisions, this role is for you.
