[Hiring] Director, Product Management @Matillion

Role Description

As Director, Product Management, you'll own the strategy and execution for a core area of Matillion's product end to end. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll carry direct product ownership for a significant area while building and leading a team of Product Managers.

• 40% of your time in direct product work, the rest on team leadership, stakeholder management, and portfolio oversight.
• Success means category-level command of the data landscape, sharp product instincts, and the ability to raise the bar in others.
• Partner closely with Engineering and Design leadership to align on technical strategy.
• Collaborate with GTM, Customer Success, and Marketing to keep the business ahead of what's shipping.

What you will be doing

• Own a product area end to end: define the strategy, translate company and product strategy into a multi-quarter roadmap, and make prioritization and resourcing trade-offs.
• Stay hands-on: retain direct ownership of a specific product area - write specs, run discovery, and make product calls yourself.
• Set and enforce the quality bar: define what “good” looks like, review your team's product decisions, and hold the line with senior stakeholders.
• Understand the market and the users: maintain a view of user needs across data engineering, analytics, and platform personas.
• Build and lead the team: hire, coach, and manage the performance of a team of Product Managers.
• Drive cross-functional and executive alignment: partner with Engineering and Design leadership, keep GTM, Customer Success, and Marketing informed, and present roadmap and trade-offs to stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Typically 10+ years in product management, including 3+ years managing Product Managers directly.
• A track record of shipping and scaling B2B products end to end, with demonstrable commercial impact.
• People leadership experience: you've hired, coached, and managed the performance of Product Managers directly.
• Real, hands-on exposure to the data ecosystem - enough to make credible technical trade-off calls.
• A systems thinker operating at scale, balancing craft, speed, and commercial impact across multiple workstreams.
• Deep data literacy and the ability to hold your team accountable to evidence-based decision-making.
• A demonstrable track record of using AI tools to accelerate product work.
• Excellent communication, including credibility in front of executive leadership and senior customers.
• Comfortable holding a line under commercial pressure on product quality and team standards.
