Position Summary: Senior Data Product Manager
IT Syntax Inc. is seeking a highly experienced Product Manager with a deep technical background in Data Engineering to lead our analytics and AI-driven initiatives in San Francisco. This is a hybrid role designed for a professional who can bridge the gap between complex data infrastructure and business-facing product strategy. With a focus on the 2026 tech landscape, you will be responsible for driving the roadmap for data platforms that power machine learning models and advanced business intelligence tools.
Core Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for data, analytics, and AI/ML initiatives, from initial discovery to final release.
- Collaborate closely with business stakeholders to translate high-level goals into actionable data-driven product requirements.
- Partner with Data Engineering and Analytics teams to design scalable data architectures and pipelines.
- Perform hands-on data analysis using Python and SQL to validate product outcomes and support evidence-based decision-making.
- Manage complex product backlogs, prioritizing features based on business impact, technical feasibility, and resource availability.
- Lead cross-functional teams through significant data platform migrations and process improvements.
- Monitor and report on product performance metrics, ensuring continuous optimization of data solutions.
Technical and Professional Requirements
The ideal candidate possesses 10 to 15 years of experience in product management, specifically within data-heavy or analytics-focused environments. Unlike traditional PM roles, this position requires a ‘hands-on’ approach to data. You must be comfortable writing SQL queries and Python scripts to explore datasets and verify that engineering outputs meet product specifications. Your experience should include a proven track record of managing multiple workstreams and delivering high-impact products in the Bay Area’s competitive tech market.
The Intersection of PM and Data Engineering
In 2026, the most successful products are those built on a foundation of clean, accessible, and intelligent data. As a Product Manager with Data Engineering expertise, you will ensure that our data assets are not just stored, but utilized to create competitive advantages. You will navigate the complexities of AI/ML integration, ensuring that our models are fed by high-quality data pipelines and that the resulting insights are integrated seamlessly into the user experience.
Must-Have Qualifications
- 10-15 years of professional experience in Product Management or Product Ownership.
- Demonstrated expertise in Data Engineering principles and Analytics environments.
- Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL for data manipulation and analysis.
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
- Experience in the San Francisco/Bay Area market, with a preference for local candidates.
- Strong leadership skills and the ability to own end-to-end delivery in a fast-paced, hybrid work environment.
