About the Role
YipitData is at the forefront of the alternative data revolution, and our data feed business represents one of our most dynamic and fastest-growing segments. As we undergo a strategic transformation toward a centralized, commercially accountable product management model, we are seeking a visionary Product Manager to own and scale a portfolio of high-value data products.

In this role, you will sit at the intersection of quantitative research, engineering, and the global investment market. You will be instrumental in shaping our new product model, establishing industry-leading best practices, and ensuring our feeds meet the rigorous demands of systematic investors. If you are a data-driven strategist who thrives on commercial impact and technical complexity, you will find a high-growth environment here that rewards ownership and innovation.
Key ResponsibilitiesAs the Product Manager for Data Feeds, you will take full ownership of the lifecycle and strategic direction of several core data products. Your focus will be on translating complex data assets into actionable insights for the buy-side community.
- Product Strategy & Roadmap Ownership: You will define, prioritize, and evangelize the roadmap for one or more data feeds, ensuring the 'what' and 'why' behind every development cycle align with long-term business goals.
- Strategic Vision: Set a product vision that balances the requirements of internal stakeholders, such as quant researchers and analysts, with the sophisticated needs of external clients like hedge funds and systematic investors.
- Commercial Accountability: You will share ARR and P&L accountability for your feeds, working in tandem with Product Specialists and Enablement partners to drive revenue growth and market share.
- Technical Translation: Partner closely with engineering teams to translate business objectives into technical roadmaps, ensuring that our technical architecture and delivery infrastructure can support our ambitious product strategy.
- Market & Customer Research: Conduct deep-dive market research and client interviews to identify emerging trends, identify opportunities for new feed products, and drive continuous enhancements to our existing portfolio.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with a diverse group of experts, including feed operations, product marketers, and go-to-market teams, to ensure seamless product launches and ongoing client satisfaction.
The ideal candidate possesses a rare blend of technical literacy, commercial acumen, and the ability to influence stakeholders across a variety of disciplines.
- Experience: Proven track record in product management, specifically within data-centric roles. Experience with alternative data, fintech, or financial services is highly preferred.
- Analytical Depth: Strong ability to work with complex datasets. Familiarity with SQL, Python, or other data analysis tools is a significant advantage for understanding the technical reality of our products.
- Commercial Mindset: Previous experience with P&L ownership or collaborating closely with sales and customer success teams to drive ARR.
- Strategic Thinking: Ability to navigate a strategic transformation, moving from legacy processes to a centralized, scalable product model.
