About The Position

We are looking for a Data Product Manager who lives at the intersection of complex tech and commercial strategy. You get a real buzz out of taking knotty, backend data challenges—like aligning disparate schemas or scaling AI pipelines—and turning them into high-value data products that business teams love to use. You aren't just a backlog manager; you’re a collaborative leader who can confidently translate deep technical architectures for executive stakeholders and align multiple squads around a single, cohesive data vision.

Requirements

Solid data literacy: You are comfortable with SQL and understand the Modern Data Stack (like BigQuery, Dataform, and APIs). You can chat with engineers about data modelling and AI integrations without getting lost.
Full-stack product thinking: Proven experience managing complex, internal data products in a fast-growing business.
Data-driven leadership: You know how to use behavioural data, predictive modelling, and machine learning to build highly personalised customer journeys.
Commercial smarts: You understand commercial concepts like LTV, CAC, Opex, and Capex, and factor them into your product and investment decisions.
Smart decision-making: Experience evaluating third-party vendors (build vs. buy decisions) and integrating them into an existing tech ecosystem.
Stakeholder management: Experience working with a range of stakeholders including highly technical specialists through to senior executives in commercial functions. You'll be adept at building relationships, managing expectations firmly and delivering value.
Strategic customer focus: You understand the internal customer deeply and build deep connections across the business to identify and analyse new growth opportunities.

Responsibilities

Define the one-year roadmap for the Data domain, look 3 to 6 months ahead to plan multi-squad projects, manage complex trade-offs, and set clear KPIs and OKRs.
Work on building our brand-new data warehouse as a robust data foundation, whilst owning the ongoing development of our AI infrastructure—including Chatbots and Agentic AI.
Help build self-serve data tools so colleagues across UW can get the insights they need at their fingertips.
Lead the design process for complex features and bridge the gap between multiple engineering teams to solve deep-seated user pain points.
Manage the end-to-end delivery of large, multi-quarter initiatives, make high-stakes decisions (like feature deprecation or strategic pivots), and spot and manage any risks along the way.
Act as an Ambassador for the Data team. Keep a complex mix of internal and external partners on the same page, manage blockers proactively, and present clear, compelling strategic narratives to senior leadership.
Define complex, multi-system feature sets, design API integrations, and guide data modeling discussions with engineers to make sure our systems talk to each other seamlessly.
