Company mission
To empower data teams to build and manage pipelines faster for AI and analytics - at scale.
Role
Who you are
- 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 at once
- 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, and the ability to model, teach and hold your team to that same standard
- Excellent communication, including credibility in front of executive leadership and senior customers
- Comfortable holding a line under commercial pressure - on product quality and on team standards - and operating at both strategic and hands-on altitude in the same week
- Don't tick every box? Apply anyway. We hire for potential, not just experience. A member of our Talent Acquisition team will be in touch
What the job involves
- 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 - roughly 40% of your time in direct product work, the rest on team leadership, stakeholder management and portfolio oversight, and that balance will shift over time
- Success in this role means category-level command of the data landscape, sharp product instincts, and the ability to raise the bar in others, not just in your own output
- You'll partner closely with Engineering and Design leadership to align on technical strategy, and with GTM, Customer Success and Marketing to keep the business ahead of what's shipping and turn what you learn into what you build next
- Own a product area end to end: define the strategy for your area, translate company and product strategy into a multi-quarter roadmap, and make the prioritisation and resourcing trade-offs across multiple workstreams - with accountability for the commercial outcome of the whole portfolio
- Stay hands-on: retain direct ownership of a specific product area - write specs, run discovery, and make product calls yourself, not just through your team
- Set and enforce the quality bar: define what “good” looks like for the product area, review your team's product decisions and outputs, and hold the line with senior stakeholders when a capability isn't ready to ship - even when it's commercially uncomfortable
- Understand the market and the users: maintain a view of user needs across data engineering, analytics and platform personas, and own the competitive and market view of the data and AI ecosystem
- Build and lead the team: hire, coach and manage the performance of a team of Product Managers, run the team's operating rhythm, and set the standard for AI-enabled ways of working across the group
- Drive cross-functional and executive alignment: partner with Engineering and Design leadership on technical strategy and delivery capacity, keep GTM, Customer Success and Marketing ahead of what's shipping, and present roadmap and trade-offs to stakeholders, leadership and customers
