Staff Data Science Product Manager

We are seeking a Staff Product Manager, with a focus in Analytics, Experimentation, and CLV/LTV modelling, to lead the strategy, prioritization, and execution of AI/ML capabilities and products that drive business decision-making.

This role operates at the intersection of business, product, data science, and engineering, and is responsible for leading high-impact problem spaces that span teams, while improving the effectiveness, consistency, and scalability of analytics product management practices. This includes technical ML solutions that help the business understand where player value is coming from and how it changes over time. The role is also responsible for creating the conditions for high-performing Data Science and ML teams to deliver quality, production-grade products that drive measurable business value.

As a Staff-level individual contributor, this role goes beyond squad ownership to drive alignment across teams, establish best practices, and influence portfolio-level decisions. You will partner closely with Integrated Analytics Partners, Data Science leadership, and Engineering to ensure that analytics investments are coordinated, scalable, and focused on the highest-impact opportunities.

This role is critical to enabling a cohesive, product-driven analytics ecosystem, where work is not only delivered effectively within squads but also aligned and leveraged across the organization, including value modelling and player understanding use cases.

• Lead product thinking across the end-to-end ML lifecycle, from opportunity framing and evaluation design through deployment, monitoring, iteration, and long-term value realization.

• Influence stakeholders across functions to drive alignment and execution.

• Drive thinking around scalability, reuse, and long-term sustainability of analytics solutions, particularly where shared capabilities can improve understanding of player value.

• Define success criteria for analytics and ML products, including business impact, adoption, reliability, interpretability, and operational sustainability.

• Ensure analytics and ML capabilities are embedded into business workflows and decision-making processes so that technical outputs translate into durable operational impact.

• Advocate for investments in shared capabilities and platforms when beneficial.

• Create the conditions for high-performing Data Science and ML teams by clarifying priorities, reducing delivery friction, and strengthening cross-functional ways of working across discovery, development, deployment, and adoption.

• Bachelors degree in Business, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related field.

• 12+ years of relevant experience, including 6+ years in digital product management.

• Proven experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives involving data science and engineering teams.

• Proven experience partnering with high-performing Data Science, ML, and Engineering teams to ship production-grade products that deliver measurable business outcomes.

• Strong understanding of data science workflows, including experimentation, modeling, forecasting, value analysis, and productionization.

• Demonstrated ability to operate in highly ambiguous environments and drive alignment across teams

• Experience influencing prioritization and decision-making across multiple teams or domains

• Experience in Agile product management methodologies and working with cross-functional squads.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including working with senior leaders

• Strong mentorship skills and experience elevating the capabilities of other product managers or analytics leaders.

• Proven ability to evaluate tradeoffs in scaling AI/ML solutions, balancing model sophistication with reliability, performance, interpretability, and operational complexity in production environments.

• Experience defining quality standards and success metrics for analytics and ML products, including adoption, reliability, interpretability, and business impact.

• Familiarity with analytics and data tools such as SQL, Python, or similar.

• Experience with experimentation and measurement frameworks (A/B testing, causal inference, incrementality) or related analytical approaches such as forecasting, scenario modeling, CLV/LTV modelling, and model evaluation.

• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced environments and manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.

• Experience identifying opportunities for reuse, platform development, and scaling analytics capabilities.

• Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with other Product Management teams and cross-functional leaders, operating as a unified team to deliver cohesive strategies and stakeholder messaging.
