• Define target consumers (internal teams, developers, partners), integration use cases, and business impact 

• Define API contracts, data schemas, and integration patterns to ensure consistency, usability, and extensibility 

• Treat developers and integration partners as primary customers, improving developer experience, documentation, and ease of integration 

• Guide prioritization and tradeoff decisions balancing scalability, performance, latency, reliability, and business value 

• Partner closely with engineering and data teams to deliver data pipelines and APIs, stepping in as needed to unblock progress and ensure delivery stays on track

• 7+ years in a Product Manager or similar role, with demonstrated experience shipping data  products in collaboration with engineering teams 

• Experience leading product work across strategy, prioritization, and delivery

• Strong understanding of data systems, including data pipelines, data modeling, and distributed systems concepts 

• Working knowledge of API design (e.g., REST), data integration patterns, and system interoperability 

• Ability to reason about system and product tradeoffs (e.g., latency vs consistency, batch vs real-time processing) 

• Ability to partner effectively with engineering and data teams on technical product decisions and architecture-level discussions 

• Strong analytical thinking and comfort using data to inform decisions 

• Ability to lead cross functional teams and drive alignment in complex environments 

• Demonstrated ability to operate with high ownership and drive outcomes in ambiguous environments 

• Experience in regulated or risk-sensitive domains, preferably within fintech

• Experience using AI tools to improve productivity, accelerate workflows, and enhance product development processes 

• Excellent presentation, interpersonal and written/verbal communication skills (listening, verbal, and written) skills to tailor information and communication style to different audiences including senior leadership.
