About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and evolve the roadmap across both the Data Products and BI & Reporting pods, with a clear point of view on prioritization and sequencing
Translate client and business needs into product bets — balancing near-term delivery with longer-term platform investment
Champion AI and BI as core capabilities within EMRge, actively identifying where emerging tools create real leverage (not just novelty)
Partner with EMRge's broader product leadership to ensure your portfolio ladders to the overall platform strategy
Set the problem statements for the portfolio — not just prioritizing inbound requests, but actively defining what the right questions are across both pods
Lead discovery for complex, ambiguous problems — bringing structure to what clients and internal teams actually need vs. what they ask for
Synthesize signals from client teams, analytics partners, and usage data into clear product hypotheses
Define success metrics upfront and hold the team accountable to learning from what ships
Scope and specify work to a level of detail that enables fast, confident development cycles — thin vertical slices over big-bang builds
Make trade-offs across pods with confidence — you understand the cross-cutting implications well enough to say what waits, what ships, and why
Produce artifacts (specs, definitions of done, decision frameworks) that your POs use as models, not just documents that describe what to build
Collaborate closely with engineering directors and leads as a genuine co-owner of architectural decisions — including API design, access and permissions models, the Databricks build-out, and SOC2 compliance requirements.

Requirements

What you’ll need

10+ years in product management, with at least 4 years owning data, analytics, or BI products
Demonstrated experience shipping products (not just managing backlogs) — you know what it takes to get something from idea to client hands
Experience managing or mentoring other product managers or product owners is a strong plus
Technically fluent — not an engineer, but someone who can hold a real conversation about API design, data access models, pipeline architecture, and security/compliance requirements (including SOC2) without needing it translated
Understands data systems at a meaningful level — how data moves, transforms, and gets structured for downstream use; you can read an ERD, reason about schema decisions, and understand why a given architecture choice creates or forecloses future product options
Fluent in BI and analytics concepts; hands-on experience with tools like Tableau, Looker, or similar, and a point of view on where AI changes the BI product category
Genuinely curious about AI — you follow what's possible, you have opinions about where it creates real product value, and you're comfortable building with it
Excellent written and verbal communication; you can write a crisp spec, a clear exec summary, and a sharp Slack message — and you know which situation calls for which
Comfortable operating with ambiguity; you don't wait for perfect requirements to start making progress
