- Drive AI Agent enablement within the CDP, partnering with Engineering and Marketing teams to expand agent access, define access controls, and identify new use cases for AI-assisted data onboarding, analysis, and journey support.
- Support the product feed connection into our marketing feed management platform, partnering with marketing enablement, who manage downstream distribution of those feeds into marketing and advertising platforms, ensuring data completeness, timeliness, and accuracy.
- Partner closely with marketing teams to translate campaign and marketer needs into clear requirements and prioritize the backlog and quarterly plan accordingly with Engineering leadership.
- Define, measure, and monitor KPIs for CDP and the integration health — including data quality, latency, match rates, and feed accuracy — and drive root cause analyses.
- Use AI tools to explore data, prototype workflows, build quick internal tools or proofs of concept, and communicate technical concepts more effectively with Engineering.
- Partner with Analytics and Engineering across the product lifecycle — from feature design through testing and launch — writing clear requirements and specs, and ensuring objectives, scope, and data integrity are maintained.
- 3+ years of product management experience in a technology-driven environment, or other relevant experience in a related technical or business role, ideally with accountability for data platforms, integration, or marketing technology products.
- Bachelor's degree in business, marketing, computer science, or related quantitative discipline required; advanced degree a plus

- Interest in AI agent enablement for data platforms, including how AI agents are granted access to customer data, and how they can be used to accelerate data onboarding, insight generation, and journey design.
- Strong technical acumen and understanding of software development principles, data pipelines, and APIs, paired with hands-on curiosity using AI tools for prototyping and code-adjacent work (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) to explore data, validate hypotheses quickly, and build lightweight prototypes that sharpen conversations with Engineering.
- Experience managing vendor or partner relationships, including business reviews, escalations, and contract renewal conversations, and a proven ability to partner cross-functionally with all marketing teams and stakeholders to translate business and campaign needs into clear, prioritized technical requirements.
- Strong communication and judgment — able to define and measure improvement opportunities, translate complex data and technical concepts for technical and non-technical audiences, build relationships across Engineering, Analytics, and Marketing, and navigate ambiguity and competing priorities.
- Familiarity with deep linking and attribution technology (e.g., Branch, AppsFlyer, or similar)
