Job Description

This role sits at the convergence of product management, BI, and analytics engineering. You'll

own dashboards end-to-end — scoping the business needs with stakeholders, collaborating on

the underlying data models, and building and shipping the final dashboard.

You'll bridge the gap between high-level data vision and tactical execution, turning complex

datasets into product capabilities that drive growth. You don't need to be a data engineer, but

you will own the end-to-end data product lifecycle — partnering closely with Data Engineering

and Design to ship data products that stakeholders find indispensable.

This is a foundational role on a brand-new team, giving you a rare opportunity to help define

how we build, measure, and trust data from the ground up. Strong dashboard-building instincts

and a sharp eye for the right metrics are core here — what you establish in your first year will

shape the team's standards.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Break down stakeholder requests into clear requirements, translating them into KPIs and

dashboards — this will require learning the underlying product and business context

  • Build new dashboards from scratch, and iterate on them as stakeholder needs evolve

and the data program matures

  • Coordinate with developers on row-level security and embedding

  • Identify data gaps and translate them into clear technical requirements for data

engineers

  • Analyze data and dashboard usage to promote data-backed decision-making, both

internally and for our customers

  • Understand data sources, data models, and data pipelines, and help uphold proper data

governance

  • Query and explore underlying data and schemas directly, developing enough fluency to

validate or challenge findings independently

  • Track project phases and milestones in JIRA, keeping stakeholders informed on where

each project stands
