[Hiring] Data Product Manager @Pennylane SAS

Role Description

As our Data Product Manager, you will own our entire data self-service ecosystem. You will treat internal data products (dashboards, metrics, tooling, documentation) like a PM treats a user-facing product: with a clear vision, a roadmap, and strong attention to user needs.

Your mission is to make every team at Pennylane confidently data-autonomous, so we can scale impact without scaling costs.

Reporting to the Head of Data, you will sit at the intersection of data, product, and operations, partnering closely with Data Engineering, Data Analytics, and business teams (Finance, Marketing, Product, Ops).

• Own and administrate our core self-service stack: Metabase, Amplitude, Data Catalog.
• Act as the internal Product Manager for company-wide dashboards: prioritize demand, deprecate outdated content, and ensure reliability and clarity.
• Define and enforce governance for Metabase: content hierarchy, access rights, and a clear process to certify trusted dashboards.
• Drive the adoption of the Data Catalog as a living documentation product: definitions, metadata standards, and a business glossary.
• Facilitate cross-functional working groups to align on foundational business metric definitions, and own the company-wide Key Metrics Dictionary, keeping it accessible and up to date.
• Be the primary point of contact for Data Producer teams (Tech, CRM/Salesforce squad) to translate business needs into upstream data requirements.
• Monitor the data tooling landscape and propose new tools or improvements that increase access, trust, and efficiency.
• Establish simple metrics to measure adoption and effectiveness: active user rates, satisfaction surveys, and internal NPS.

Qualifications

• Experience owning and improving internal data products, like dashboards, metrics, documentation, or analytics tooling.
• Comfortable working with data stakeholders end-to-end: understanding a business problem, translating it into data requirements, and validating that the output is trusted and usable.
• Ability to set pragmatic governance standards that enable autonomy, not bureaucracy.
• Experience with BI and product analytics environments and understanding of the day-to-day realities of self-service.
• Ability to facilitate alignment across teams on metric definitions and ways of working, even without direct authority.
• Ability to define a vision, prioritize a roadmap, and measure adoption with simple indicators and user feedback.
• Comfortable with SQL and data concepts and can collaborate effectively with Data Engineering and Analytics on upstream requirements.
• Clear communicator who enjoys teaching, documenting, and enabling others through training and support.
• Thrives in a fast-moving environment and likes building structure where it is still emerging.

Requirements

• Within one month:
  • Get a clear picture of Pennylane’s teams, objectives, and decision-making rituals.
  • Map the current self-service journey end-to-end (users, use cases, pain points, and existing assets).
  • Audit the current stack (Metabase, Amplitude, Catalog) and identify quick wins for clarity, reliability, and discoverability.
• Within 3 months:
  • Define a clear vision and roadmap for data self-service, with measurable outcomes.
  • Formalize the Certified Data process and oversee the certification of the most critical dashboards and datasets.
  • Define and kick off the right cross-team rituals (working groups, office hours, and stakeholder touchpoints) to build long-term trust in data product and self-service.
  • Reduce the top friction points in the self-service journey through concrete product and process changes.
• Within 6 months:
  • Have a sustainable operating model in place for governance, metric definitions, and documentation.
  • Deliver the first iteration of the Data Literacy Program (onboarding + role-based training paths).
  • Show measurable improvement in adoption and user satisfaction.
  • Scale self-service practices across teams while maintaining trust, consistency, and compliance.
• And beyond:
  • Keep evolving Pennylane’s self-service ecosystem as the company scales, ensuring it remains simple, trusted, and efficient.
  • Be recognized as the company’s go-to person for data product and self-service use cases.
  • Take on broader responsibilities as the Data function grows: leading larger cross-team initiatives, and helping onboard and ramp up new team members and key stakeholders on our self-service practices.
