Company mission
To provide the intelligence that sophisticated organizations use to power their strategy for winning over key decision makers.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in product management, with at least 3 years focused on data products, infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS environments
- Professional experience and/or familiarity with data science or survey work and theory, especially as a product manager
- Impeccable attention to detail and superior organizational skills; able to synthesize densely technical product features into coherent requirements as well as clear external-facing deliverables
- Ability to thrive in a highly dynamic environment where priorities can shift outside of planning periods
- Strong written and verbal communication
- Thoughtfulness about developing and communicating clear milestones (including non-technical ones) that take a product from proof of concept through launch
- Intellectual curiosity and openness to new ideas and robust (but friendly!) discussions with key stakeholders at all levels
- Eagerness to collaborate cross-functionally with both local and remote colleagues from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds
- Experience with Agile methodologies including working in sprints, daily standups, and refinement
Desirable
- Prior experience as a survey scientist or on a data-intensive client analytics team
- Understanding of end to end survey research workflow is a plus such as sampling, questionnaire design, data collection and analysis
- Proficiency in SQL, Python and R —enough to engage meaningfully with technical stakeholders and dive into data use cases
What the job involves
- You will be responsible for defining and driving the product architecture, prioritization, and roadmap for our survey products
- This includes both current offerings and developing and launching greenspace products that leverage Applecart’s proprietary data assets to create innovative survey-driven insights
- You will work closely with the Vice President of Data Science and his team of data scientists and analysts to design, launch, and iterate on deeply insightful, statistically sound products our customers can’t do without
- This role will report to the Director of Product Management for Insights & Optimization
- Define and lead the product vision for Applecart’s survey offerings, including building out a robust unified data pipeline, integrating with data sources from other teams, and generating automated visualizations
- Own the product roadmap and prioritization process in close collaboration with data science, engineering, and reporting teams
- Transform lift, probability, statistical significance, crosstabs, and other statistical and survey concepts into clear, structured product packages that clients can easily digest
- Partner with reporting teams and engineering to deliver scalable, reliable data pipelines and platform services using technologies such as Databricks and PySpark
- Design the future of our survey deliverables, from static presentations to interactive UI environments
- Define and track success metrics that demonstrate impact on client satisfaction, usability, and messaging and creative selection
- Communicate product priorities, trade-offs, and timelines clearly across technical and non-technical audiences
Our take
Applecart uses publicly available data, both online and offline, to create a map of real-world interpersonal relationships. Allowing clients to run more effective advertising and marketing campaigns by leveraging social influence, or word of mouth, which Applecart believes is the most powerful motivator.
Initially focused on political campaigns, Applecart worked to increase voter engagement and turnout. However, in recent years, it has expanded into commercial work, partnering with organisations such as Boeing and nonprofits like The Business Roundtable.
A key backer of Applecart is Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor, a global entertainment and media agency that owns the UFC. While it's unclear if the UFC is currently a client, Emanuel's involvement signals the high-profile clients Applecart is now attracting. Further success has come in the form of Blackstone's impressive $100 million investment in Applecart, setting up 2026 to be a year of further growth for the company.
