Principal Data Product Manager
About The Position
We’re looking for a Principal Data Product Manager to lead the vision, strategy, and evolution of OrthoFi’s common data platform while driving our transformation into a truly data-driven organization. In this role, you will treat data as a product—owning the foundational data platform that acts as the single source of truth across our SaaS ecosystem. You will define how data is ingested, structured, governed, and served across OrthoFi, ensuring that engineering, internal product teams, analytics, and business stakeholders can rely on a modern, scalable, and high-quality data foundation. Beyond core infrastructure, you will directly drive business outcomes by unleashing data to power deeper customer insights, operational automation, and next-generation, AI-driven capabilities. This senior-level role blends core product management, platform architecture strategy, and cross-functional leadership. You will bring both strategic vision and hands-on expertise to establish a robust data ecosystem today, while setting the stage to ultimately own and commercialize Data as a Service (DaaS) as a key competitive differentiator in the future.
