Product Manager, Data Products

Alembic
San Francisco, CA

About Us

Alembic solves marketing's hardest problem: proving what actually works. Our platform helps Fortune 100 companies make multimillion-dollar decisions with confidence.

We're backed by leading tech luminaries including WndrCo (founded by DreamWorks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg), Jensen Huang, Joe Montana, and many more.

About The Team - Data Products

We’re building a new division with a mandate to build the “invisible” products that make large-scale analytics run better, faster, and at lower cost. We’re led by multi-founder and technologist, Craig Harper.

That includes ingestion and transformation at scale, high-throughput processing and orchestration, reliability/observability layers, and cost-aware infrastructure improvements delivered as software. We’ll prove value internally by first powering Alembic’s own platforms then productize these capabilities for the broader market where they can stand alone as durable offerings.

The goal: turn core data plumbing into opinionated, reusable products that compress time-to-insight and total cost of ownership for enterprises.

About the Role - Product Manager

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to define and lead product strategy for Alembic's Data Products division. This is a high-impact founding role where you'll own the vision, roadmap, and execution for the tools and APIs that eliminate integration friction and accelerate customer time-to-value.

What You'll Do

  • Own product vision and strategy for data products that eliminate integration friction and accelerate customer time-to-value from weeks to days

  • Conduct deep customer discovery through direct engagement with Fortune 100 companies to identify pain points and translate them into clearly scoped product requirements

  • Partner closely with engineering to prioritize and ship SDKs, APIs, and tools—making strategic trade-offs between immediate customer needs and long-term platform scalability

  • Define and track metrics that measure product impact: adoption rates, integration time reduction, developer satisfaction, and revenue influence

  • Drive cross-functional alignment with GTM, engineering, operations, and leadership to ensure successful launches and rapid iteration based on customer feedback

  • Build systematic feedback loops with customers and internal teams to continuously improve product quality and developer experience

  • Make strategic product decisions that balance the needs of multiple stakeholders while maintaining focus on outcomes that drive business growth

What Will Help You Succeed

Product Management Experience

  • 7-10 years in product management with focus on B2B/enterprise products, including at least 3 years on developer-facing or platform products

  • Track record of defining product strategy and shipping impactful products in 0-to-1 or high-growth environments

  • Experience working in agile/sprint-based development processes with engineering teams

  • Demonstrated ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution

Technical Fluency

  • Deep technical understanding—can engage in detailed discussions about APIs, SDKs, data models, and system architecture with engineering teams

  • Solid grasp of data engineering fundamentals: ETL/ELT pipelines, data validation, schema evolution, data quality

  • Understanding of what makes great developer experience and tooling

  • Comfortable writing technical requirements, API specifications, and working closely with engineers during development

Product & Business Skills

  • Strong analytical and metrics-driven approach—experience defining KPIs and using data to inform product decisions

  • Excellent stakeholder management across engineering, GTM, operations, and executive leadership

  • Proven ability to conduct customer discovery and translate insights into actionable product requirements

  • Outstanding communication skills—can explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences and business concepts to engineers

Nice to Have

  • Engineering or data science background (you've written production code)

  • Experience in marketing technology, advertising technology, or data analytics domains

  • Startup experience, particularly in founding or very early roles (first 5-10 employees)

  • Direct experience selling to or working with Fortune 100 enterprises

  • Exposure to AI/ML products or infrastructure

This Role Is Right for You If

  • You're a technical PM who thrives at the intersection of deep technical complexity and customer impact—you love building products that developers love and that drive measurable business outcomes

  • You're energized by 0-to-1 product building with significant autonomy and ownership over strategy and execution in a new, independent division

  • You want to solve complex challenges for Fortune 100 companies making multimillion-dollar decisions while building a product portfolio from the ground up

Why You Might Be Excited About Alembic

  • Shape a new product category : Define and build data products that transform how Fortune 100 companies integrate with breakthrough marketing analytics technology—you're not just improving features, you're creating the integration layer for an entirely new approach to marketing measurement

  • Direct growth impact : Your products directly reduce integration time and accelerate sales velocity—clear line of sight from your roadmap decisions to revenue outcomes and customer success

  • Technical depth required : This isn't surface-level PM work—you'll engage deeply with APIs, data architecture, and complex technical trade-offs while working with elite engineers solving hard problems

  • Autonomy and ownership : Shape strategy and execution for an independent division with its own P/L, with the freedom to define how we build and the responsibility to deliver results

  • Startup upside with proven traction : Early-stage equity opportunity with experienced leadership, proven product-market fit, and Fortune 100 enterprise customers already using the platform

Why You Might Not Be Excited

  • You prefer consumer products or end-user features over B2B infrastructure and developer tooling that requires deep technical engagement

  • You want established processes and a large PM team rather than building the product function from scratch as the founding PM in a new division

  • You prefer hands-off product management over being deeply embedded with engineering teams and customers, getting into technical details daily

You want predictable roadmaps over dynamic priorities that adapt based on customer feedback, market learning, and the fast pace of a hyperscaling startup
