We Are Looking For
A visionary Senior Product Manager to lead the next generation of Smart Data Products within our ecosystem. You will be at the forefront of a new way of interacting with data through reliable and trustworthy AI agents, providing innovative interactions between users and information. Using Actian's Data Intelligence Platform as our core platform, you will bridge the gap between high-level strategic vision and agile technical execution. You will not only manage a backlog but also co-create alongside engineering teams using AI-driven development workflows. This is a fully remote, senior individual contributor role with high strategic visibility.
What You’ll Do
- Translate the CPTO's strategic vision into a concrete, scalable Data Product roadmap. You'll pair strong product instincts with data-informed decision making to deliver results.
- Participate in the product lifecycle from discovery through launch, iteration, and adoption, including setting success metrics, prioritizing features, and ensuring high-quality execution.
- Lead the full lifecycle of Data Products development, ensuring they are discoverable, trustworthy, and valuable within Actian's Data Intelligence Platform.
- Oversee the development of AI agents that control data products, enabling conversational and proactive interactions for end-users.
- Lead cross-functional squads in an agile environment, collaborating with Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure high-velocity and high-quality releases.
- Champion the use of AI product development tooling to accelerate delivery and optimize product features.
- Partner with Go-to-Market teams to position our Data Products value proposition, shape product messaging, and drive adoption among technical and executive audiences.
- Navigate the complexity of corporate environments while maintaining the agility of a startup, managing expectations from C-level executives to end-users and clients.
