You've spent your career at the intersection of data and delivery, translating messy pipelines into clean products and vague requirements into shipped features. At Seer's AI & Innovation division, we need exactly that. You'll own the data product portfolio: BigQuery Connectors, Looker dashboards, and AI Agents, taking full responsibility for the sprint cycle from backlog to release. This isn't a strategy-and-delegate role. You'll be writing specs, testing features, and unblocking engineers the same week you're running sprint planning and managing the PMs who report to you.
Role Highlights
- Own end-to-end product management for BigQuery Connectors, Looker dashboards, and AI Agents, from requirements through QA, documentation, and ongoing health monitoring
- Define product specs and acceptance criteria in partnership with division leaders and SMEs
- Monitor product health, usage metrics, and production incidents; address issues with urgency
- Make recommendations on what to productize, sunset, maintain, or optimize
- Own the sprint planning process end-to-end, in partnership with a Project Manager
- Oversee data engineer hours and priorities across sprint cycles
- Own backlog prioritization, capacity planning, and sprint completion accountability
- Balance competing priorities across new development, maintenance, and custom client work
- Execute the productization of validated R&D innovations in partnership with the Director of Engineering & Product
- Enable Engineering to transform prototypes into production-ready products
- Create maintenance plans and support models; partner with the Innovation team on handoff requirements
- Own cross-functional relationships with R&D, division leads, Marketing, and AI Strategy
- Serve as the primary point of contact for data product questions and timelines
- Translate technical constraints and capacity realities into clear stakeholder communication
- Manage data access and permissions across Looker and data platforms
- Own platform integrations, system administration, and compliance with data security and client confidentiality requirements
- Maintain monitoring dashboards for system health and usage
- Manage Product Managers and conduct performance reviews and career development conversations
- Build clear roles, responsibilities, and success criteria as the team scales
- Develop product management capability in direct reports
Product Ownership
Sprint Planning & Engineering Coordination
Productization Execution
Cross-Functional Coordination
Data Governance & Platform Administration
Team Management
You'll be a good fit if....
- You have hands-on product management experience, including writing specs, testing features, and maintaining documentation, not just overseeing others who do it
- You have worked with data-intensive products and are comfortable discussing pipelines, APIs, and architecture with engineers
- You have experience running agile sprint planning, owning backlogs, managing capacity, and hitting committed sprint goals
- You are able to balance competing priorities across multiple product lines without losing velocity or quality
- You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information in a fast-moving environment
- You are a clear communicator who can translate technical realities into plain language for non-technical stakeholders
- You have experience managing or mentoring team members and care about building people up as much as building products
- You have experience using AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, or product work and are always looking for leverage
- You have familiarity with BigQuery, Looker, or similar data platforms as a product owner
- You have shipped AI agent products or agentic workflows in a production environment
- You have experience defining production-ready standards or productization playbooks from scratch
- You have an agency or consulting background where client needs and product roadmap work had to coexist
This might not be the role for you if...
- You prefer to set strategy and hand off execution, as this role requires you to do the work alongside managing others
- You're looking for full creative latitude on greenfield products, as this role is about productizing validated innovations and maintaining a portfolio in motion
- You need detailed requirements handed to you before you can act, as a lot of this role involves defining what "done" looks like for things that don't have a clear spec yet
- Managing multiple product lines with different stakeholders, cadences, and quality bars at the same time sounds exhausting rather than energizing
- Data infrastructure isn't something you find genuinely interesting, as you'll be deep in pipelines, connectors, and platform health every week
30/60/90
- Get fully oriented in Seer's data product portfolio: the current state of BigQuery Connectors, Looker dashboards, and AI Agents, and what's in the pipeline
- Shadow sprint ceremonies and meet with division leads, R&D, and data engineers to understand cross-functional dependencies
- Identify one backlog item you can personally own and deliver to calibrate on the sprint process
- Own sprint planning end-to-end with a completion rate teams can rely on
- Produce your first product spec or requirements document from scratch and get it to engineering-ready
- Take over cross-functional communication so stakeholders have a reliable point of contact for data product timelines
- Running the sprint cycle independently with clear capacity plans, prioritized backlogs, and predictable delivery
- Executing at least one R&D-to-production handoff with a maintenance plan in place
- Contributing to the roadmap conversation with a clear point of view on what to productize, maintain, or sunset
