Using Actian's Data Intelligence Platform as our core platform, you will bridge the gap between high-level strategic vision and agile technical execution.

This is a fully remote, senior individual contributor role with high strategic visibility.
Translate the CPTO's strategic vision into a concrete, scalable Data Product roadmap. You'll pair strong product instincts with data-informed decision making to deliver results.

5+ years in Software Product Management, with specific focus on Data Products, Data Platforms, or AI/ML products.
Experience working as a product manager on open source technologies.
You have "survived and thrived" in both fast-paced startup environments and complex corporate structures. You know how to pivot quickly but also how to navigate decision-making processes in larger organizations.
Deep understanding of Data Governance, Data Catalogs, and the modern data stack.
Ability to debate strategic inputs and then dive into the concrete inputs for engineering at ground level.
Skilled at translating customer and stakeholder needs into innovative product features.
Track record of shipping enterprise-grade SaaS features from ideation through scale.
Able to balance short-term execution with long-term vision.
Customer-driven and passionate about customer success.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or related field.
Prior work experience in the data management domain (e.g., data catalogs, databases, major CSPs, key data-oriented user personas and their use cases) is a plus.
At least 1 year owning zero-to-one or early-stage product launches.
When the wind blows, build windmills not walls
If it isn't ruthless, it isn't prioritization
Do better, do faster
