In this role, you will drive the execution of our product roadmap for your product areas and partner closely with cross-functional teams-including User Experience & Design, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success-to deliver impactful solutions that help data and analytics professionals achieve their goals.
This is a hands-on, strategic product management role where you'll focus on product discovery and definition, ensuring adoption and value for data teams, and go-to-market enablement and execution.
A day in the life could involve a customer discovery interview, an engineering demo, and a product design virtual whiteboard session in the morning, followed by an industry analyst meeting, a product marketing launch and enablement meeting, then capped off with some email and Slack catch up and requirements updates before calling it a day.
You'll be successful in this role if you are adaptable, a constant learner, have deep empathy for customers, have a love for data, are a strong listener and collaborator while also being a natural leader.

• Data-Driven Decision Making: Employ a data-informed approach to prioritize features, track product success, and iterate based on feedback and outcomes, ensuring the product remains responsive to market and user trends. Define success metrics and consistently evaluate them to ensure customer needs and business goals are met.
  
• End-to-End Product Ownership: Take full ownership of the product lifecycle, define and align OKRs for your product areas, driving measurable business outcomes and long-term success.
  
• Market and Competitive Intelligence: Provide insights on market trends and segment dynamics to the Leadership team, guiding strategic decision-making and positioning.
  
• Thought Leadership and Evangelism: Represent data.world and your areas of expertise in both internal and external forums, including customer workshops, demos, webinars, industry events, and conferences.
  
  Key success metrics:
  

• 
  
• Drive the Data Marketplace adoption and utilization. Look for sales growth and monetization opportunities in delivering Data Product and Data Marketplace features and capabilities that align with our product strategy.
  
• Drive user engagement, increasing monthly active users and user engagement and adoption. Experiment with metrics that reflect the value users derive from the product, signaling that the user experience is intuitive, engaging, and meeting their needs.
