About The Position

Mixpanel is hiring a Product Manager for Mixpanel Data to own the strategy and roadmap for how Mixpanel evolves within the data landscape. The role focuses on the evolution of Mixpanel’s data architecture, decisions about what to build, integrate, or leave to partners, and supporting data that increasingly resides both inside and outside Mixpanel. It is a pathfinding position that turns ambiguous technical and business tradeoffs into recommendations, roadmaps, and decisions for engineering and leadership.

The Product Manager will work closely with engineering leadership and customers, build the case for foundational infrastructure investments, and define how Mixpanel’s data model, governance, and metadata evolve to support deeper analysis and a growing product portfolio. The role also requires aligning engineering, design, and go-to-market teams around a strategic direction, communicating it clearly, and tracking results so the strategy can be adjusted as new evidence emerges.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of hands-on product management experience, including ownership of technically complex infrastructure- or platform-level problems.
• Direct experience with the modern data stack, such as data warehouses, data lakes, ETL/ELT, or data platform tooling, as a builder, user, or product owner.
• Ability to operate in ambiguity and synthesize competing technical and business inputs into a clear strategic point of view.
• Experience partnering closely with engineering on architecture-level tradeoffs, beyond feature scoping.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to bring technical and non-technical audiences along on a strategic narrative.
• Experience using AI tools in product management workflows, such as competitive research or prototyping.

Nice To Haves

• Experience at a data infrastructure, data platform, or analytics company.
• Hands-on experience with data warehouses or lakehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks, or with open data formats.
• Experience writing production-grade software.
• Experience designing products using tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Abstract.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive Mixpanel’s strategy and roadmap as the product evolves alongside customers’ data warehouses, lakes, and the broader modern data stack.
• Turn complex, ambiguous architecture and business tradeoffs into clear recommendations grounded in customer evidence, competitive context, and business impact.
• Partner with engineering leadership on build-versus-integrate-versus-partner decisions that shape Mixpanel’s data architecture.
• Speak directly with customers and prospects to understand changes in their data infrastructure and workflows, and translate those findings into product bets.
• Build business cases for infrastructure investments and make the return on foundational, long-horizon work clear to leadership.
• Define how Mixpanel’s data model, governance, and metadata should evolve to support deeper analysis and a growing product portfolio.
• Align engineering, design, and go-to-market teams around a shared strategic perspective through clear written communication.
• Define and track metrics that indicate whether the strategy is working, and course-correct as new evidence emerges.

Benefits

• Medical, vision, and dental insurance coverage.
• Mental wellness benefit.
• Generous vacation policy and additional company holidays.
• Enhanced parental leave.
• Volunteer time off.
• Pre-tax benefits including 401(k).
• Wellness benefit.
• Holiday break.
• Equity consideration.
