**Job Description**

As a Senior Technical Product Manager you will own the roadmap for ingestion, enrichment, and distribution pipelines—driving initiatives that boost data quality, shrink latency, and open new revenue or cost-efficiency opportunities for Nielsen and its clients.

 

What You’ll Do

• Define & Evolve a Multi-Product Strategy

  • Articulate and continuously refine a long-term vision that spans multiple products or business units, ensuring each product adds value to the broader ecosystem.

  • Review and adapt product strategy based on market feedback, emerging technologies, and organizational performance metrics.

• Thought Leadership & Strategic Influence

  • Set the tone for technical product direction, championing both near-term priorities and big-picture innovations within leadership forums and cross-functional teams.

  • Present compelling, data-backed recommendations on product and market trends to drive consensus at the executive level.

• Collaborative Architectural & Tech Decisions

  • Partner with senior engineering leaders to assess high-level architectural choices, ensuring they meet scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness standards.

  • Champion the adoption of new technologies or product patterns that can significantly improve performance, user experience, or operational efficiency (e.g., reduced cost, decreased latency, increased reliability).

• Deep Tech Research & Application

  • Regularly investigate emerging tech trends (AI/ML, microservices, data analytics, etc.) to identify potential applications in the existing product portfolio.

  • Provide comprehensive risk-benefit analyses for adopting these technologies, including integration timelines, cost projections, and success metrics.

• Strategic Partnerships & Integrations

  • Identify high-value partnership or integration opportunities that can expand market reach, solve large-scale customer issues, or create new revenue streams.

  • Develop well-founded business cases outlining potential ROI, resource requirements, and implementation feasibility.

• Orchestrate Cross-Functional, Large-Scale Initiatives

  • Coordinate multi-team programs—spanning engineering, sales, marketing, operations, finance—to ensure shared understanding of goals, timelines, and success metrics.

  • Resolve conflicting priorities or escalations swiftly, keeping overarching strategic objectives front and center.

• Multi-Quarter Roadmaps & Impact Tracking

  • Define clear, data-driven roadmaps for high-impact initiatives, focusing on solving major customer challenges or opening significant revenue opportunities.

  • Quantify expected outcomes (e.g., revenue growth, NPS improvements, cost reductions) and track real-world results, adjusting course as necessary.

• Foster a Culture of Experimentation & Continuous Improvement

  • Encourage teams to “fail fast” while maintaining a laser focus on user value and measurable results.

  • Establish metrics and guidelines for pilot projects, ensuring learnings are captured and shared widely.

• Mentor & Raise the Product Bar

  • Coach product managers on advanced topics (e.g., complex stakeholder management, large-scale product discovery, multi-year strategy).

  • Act as a bar-raiser in the hiring process, setting and maintaining high standards for technical depth and strategic thinking in product roles.

• Champion Organization-Wide Product Best Practices

• Create and evangelize frameworks (e.g., product discovery, design thinking, lean experimentation) that raise execution quality and speed across the organization.

• Maintain an environment of ongoing learning, where teams feel confident challenging assumptions with evidence and regularly sharing success stories and failures.

**Qualifications**

Minimum Qualifications (Must-Have)

• 8+ years of product-management experience delivering internal and client-facing tools (workflow automation, scheduling , monitoring, or similar).

• Proven record of simplifying complex Ops workflows end-to-end and translating client pain points into product wins—from mapping “as-is” processes to launching intuitive UIs/automations that slash manual effort, error rate, or turnaround time.

• Demonstrated success in client interfacing—running discovery sessions, gathering requirements, and communicating roadmap trade-offs to external stakeholders or enterprise customers.

• Comfortable reading architecture diagrams, REST specs, and debating build-vs-buy or technical trade-offs with senior engineers.

• Expert in structured prioritization and root-cause analysis (RICE, WSJF, 5 Whys, post-mortems) to keep backlogs laser-focused on both Ops and client ROI.

• Stellar communicator—able to switch effortlessly between translating operator feedback into wireframes, detailing acceptance criteria in stand-ups, and presenting impact metrics to clients or executives.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
