Senior Product Manager, Alation

• You’re curious about and fluent in AI tools—constantly exploring how they can improve your work, speed up workflows, or unlock new product experiences
• You’re a clear communicator who makes complex ideas understandable across technical and non-technical audiences
• You’ve driven meaningful product outcomes
• You enjoy customer discovery and identifying underlying problems, not just implementing solutions
• You think in systems. You understand how APIs, models, and integrations shape user value
• You take ownership. You move things forward even when direction isn’t fully defined
• You’re driven by impact, not activity—you ask why before how
• You’re collaborative and elevate the performance of those you work with

Desirable

• We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the next stage of our Data Product Marketplace—a core pillar of our company’s shift toward treating data as a product and enabling agentic, mission-critical workflows

• This role is deeply cross-functional and highly visible

• Align and collaborate across squads to raise the output of your team and adjacent teams

• Stay focused on business impact—filtering work by what matters most
• You’ll own a critical, still-forming product and shape it at a foundational level
• You’ll help lead the transformation of the data space as AI becomes embedded in how data is managed and used
• You’ll work directly with senior leaders across product, engineering, and design
