You will define technically grounded roadmaps, convert complex data and model requirements into buildable product increments, and ensure new capabilities are reliable, reusable, and commercially relevant. This role is ideal for a product leader who can operate comfortably with engineers and data scientists while maintaining a clear view of user value and product outcomes.

Work you'll do You will manage the technical product lifecycle for Analytics & Insights, from discovery and architecture alignment through backlog execution, launch, adoption, and continuous improvement. Your work will include:

• Define and maintain the product vision, roadmap, success measures, and release priorities for Analytics & Insights capabilities.
• Translate user, buyer, and business needs into technical product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, data contracts, API requirements, and workflow specifications.
• Partner with Data Science to define model use cases, output requirements, explainability needs, evaluation criteria, and product integration patterns.
• Partner with Data Engineering and Software Engineering to align roadmap priorities with architecture, platform dependencies, scalability, security, observability, and technical debt.
• Own backlog prioritization and sprint readiness, including story refinement, dependency management, sequencing, and acceptance of completed work.
• Define how data, analytical outputs, recommendations, and AI-assisted features appear within product workflows and support user decision-making.
• Establish measurable launch and adoption criteria, including product usage, reliability, data quality, time to insight, user satisfaction, and commercial impact.
• Lead product discovery, technical design discussions, sprint reviews, release planning, demonstrations, and stakeholder decision forums.
• Balance client and market feedback with reusable architecture, preventing one-off requests from creating fragile or non-scalable product behavior.
