Job DescriptionABOUT THE ROLE
At Nielsen, we are passionate about our work to power a better media future for all people by providing powerful insights that drive client decisions and deliver extraordinary results.
The Senior Product Manager, Data Platform & Analytics is the analytical engine and quality gatekeeper for our core data offerings. While operating within the Product Management function, this is a deeply analytical role built for an expert who thrives at the intersection of product health, data collection mechanism, and commercial strategy.
You will not just build data products; you will track user funnels, design the monitoring architecture that detects production anomalies, and own the data quality assurance processes that keep our products robust. Beyond system health, you will act as a critical bridge to our revenue teams—building proof-of-concepts (POCs) from raw data and driving technical RFI responses. You will partner closely with the broader Product Management team to unify these insights into a holistic, best-in-class data product.
