About The Position

At Cambria, the Analytics Product Owner treats data as the product. You define the what and the why behind everything our Go-to-Market Analytics Pod ships — from customer-facing recommendation engines to executive dashboards to churn models. You'll own the roadmap for Sales and Marketing analytics. You'll set scope, shape schedules, and run the Agile cadence that turns ambitious ideas into shipped products. Data scientists, data engineers, and BI partners will look to you to clear the path, surface risks, and make the call when priorities collide. This role lives at the intersection of business, engineering, and data science. You'll translate fluently between all three. You'll bring structure to ambiguity, protect your team's focus, and communicate with the kind of clarity that moves work forward.

Requirements

Program management chops. Significant experience leading technical programs in analytics, data engineering, or cloud-based software development — from feature definition through deployment, using tools like Jira.
Agile fluency. A track record setting up and leading Agile development with SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, or XP. Comfortable running cross-functional squads and prioritizing roadmaps with KPI/OKR methodology.
Enough technical grounding. Working familiarity with analytics architecture, databases, and build-and-release processes — enough to ask the right questions and make the right calls.
Sharp judgment. A creative problem solver who weighs trade-offs with data and anecdotes, influences without authority, and owns the hard calls when ideas collide.
Built for ambiguity. Comfortable working outside your area of expertise — performing business discovery, simplifying problems, extracting what matters, and proposing solutions.
A strong communicator. Excellent written and verbal skills across every level of the org. You know how to filter and distill for the right audience.
The right values. Ownership, customer focus, collaboration, integrity. Inquisitive by nature, with a real appetite for learning.
Minimum Requirements Experience: 4+ years in Product Management, Data Analytics, or Management Consulting.
Systems: Jira, Confluence, Snowflake, BI tooling (Sigma, Tableau, DOMO, Power BI, etc.)
Bachelor's Degree preferred.

Nice To Haves

Background in data science, machine learning, data engineering or BI is a plus.

Drive the day-to-day. Coordinate teams, track progress, adapt plans, and run regular reviews with teammates, partners, and executive sponsors.
