Senior Product Manager, Data
About The Position
Mixpanel is hiring a Product Manager to own the strategy and roadmap for how Mixpanel evolves within the data infrastructure landscape. The role focuses on the evolution of Mixpanel’s data architecture, decisions about what to build, integrate, or leave to other solutions, and support for data that resides both inside and outside Mixpanel. This is a pathfinding role requiring the ability to turn ambiguous technical and business tradeoffs into clear recommendations, roadmaps, and decisions. The Product Manager will partner with engineering leadership, engage customers and prospects, build business cases for foundational infrastructure investments, and align teams around a strategic direction. The role also defines how Mixpanel’s data model, governance, and metadata should evolve, and tracks results to adjust the strategy as evidence changes.
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 with 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 its 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 insights into product bets.
- Build business cases for infrastructure-level investments and communicate the return on investment of foundational, long-horizon work 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 point of view through clear written communication.
- Define and track metrics to assess whether the strategy is working, and course-correct as new evidence emerges.
