**Job Description**

As a 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

·  Own & deliver high-impact enhancements

·   Define vision, KPIs (coverage, latency, accuracy, SLA).

·   Launch at least one major lineup/metadata release per year that materially improves those KPIs.

·  Turn root-cause insights into a data-driven backlog

·   Build defect heat-maps from logs, QC dashboards, and partner tickets.

·   Run 5-Whys and RICE/WSJF scoring to convert findings into an ROI-ranked roadmap.

·  Keep stakeholders and partners tightly aligned

·   Maintain a continuous feedback loop with Operations, Client Service, and Engineering teams.

·   Host monthly roadmap reviews and publish clear decision rationales.

·  Drive flawless execution

·   Join daily stand-ups, unblock engineers, manage scope, and run retrospectives.

·   Hit lower defect-escape rate and high on-time delivery.

·  Scan the market and tech landscape

·   Track competitive metadata providers, FAST-channel growth, LLM-assisted QC, and AI/ML for entity matching.

·   Deliver two trend briefs per year that influence roadmap or architecture choices.

·  Lead and mentor

·   Facilitate at least one discovery workshop annually.

·   Coach junior PMs or data analysts, sharing best-practice templates for post-mortems and prioritization scorecards.

**Qualifications**

Minimum Qualifications (Must-Have)

• 4–8 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.
