Full description
Are you excited about owning the reporting and data-querying infrastructure that powers how investment firms explore and rely on their data? If so, we invite you to join our innovative team. As a Staff Product Manager on Ridgeline's Data Intellgience team, you'll own product discovery and delivery for the Reporting Engine, Report Builder's data layer, and the Historical Data Archive. You'll partner with engineering on our distributed query platform to enable scalable, performant querying and reporting over complex, cross-domain datasets, and help curate that data as a governed, trusted product that other teams — and increasingly AI agents — can rely on.
You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.
What will you do?
- Curate and govern the datasets and data models the team exposes to Reporting Experience and other consumers, ensuring they carry consistent structure, provenance, freshness, and quality signals that both people and downstream software can trust
- Partner with Engineering on Ridgeline's distributed query platform to scale performant querying and analysis over large, complex, cross-domain datasets
- Partner with domain teams (Accounting, Performance, Market Data, and others) to identify which reporting concepts need a shared, governed definition versus which should remain owned by a single domain, working within Ridgeline's broader shared data foundation
- Write clear use-case documents, PRDs, and product definitions that make Reporting Data Curation's promises to its consumers concrete and testable
- Partner closely with Reporting Experience and Reporting Workflow to ensure Reporting Data Curation's roadmap reflects real customer and product needs
- Support customer go-lives and respond to enhancement requests from existing customers, partnering with Customer Experience and Support
- Use AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Glean) throughout the product lifecycle for research synthesis, requirements drafting, and documentation
- Think creatively, own problems, seek solutions, and communicate clearly along the way
- Contribute to a collaborative environment deeply rooted in learning, teaching, and transparency
Desired Skills and Experience
- 5+ years of experience in product management or a similar function, with a track record of owning and shipping larger, cross-functional features or platform capabilities
- Comfort engaging with engineering on data architecture, query performance, and platform tradeoffs, without needing to be an engineer yourself
- Ability to write clear, specific, testable product definitions, PRDs, and use cases with minimal churn
