About The Position

Product management is evolving. The most impactful product managers won’t be those who launch new applications—they’ll be the ones who deeply understand how data and business processes move through an organization and use that understanding to eliminate friction, reduce manual work, and surface the right information at the right moment. As Associate Product Manager of Data & Internal Systems, you will partner with Accounting, Operations, and IT to map, challenge, and continuously improve how our internal platforms work—from the moment data enters a system to how it’s stored, categorized, and consumed by downstream applications and teams. You deploy problem-first product thinking. This is not a role that rebuilds systems for the sake of modernization. You will understand root problems to solve and diagnose whether a new purpose-built application is needed or if an entire process needs to be reimagined. You will report directly to the Senior Product Manager of Technology and Platforms.
