About the Role

We are building an organizational operating system that turns data from multiple sources into trusted product experiences, analytics, and AI-assisted workflows.

As a Data Product Analyst , you are responsible for the integrity and effectiveness of the data layer behind these products.

• Translate design and workflow needs into precise data requirements (fields, granularity, definitions, acceptance criteria).
• Build deep understanding of data structures and relationships across sources, including limitations and edge cases.
• Ensure data accuracy and consistency: identify gaps, resolve inconsistencies, and enforce clear, shared definitions across stakeholders.
• Validate data performance in practice: ensure outputs are timely, reliable, and support decision-making at scale.
• Deliver clear analysis and narratives for Program Management and leadership, focusing on actionable insights and exceptions.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate analysis and workflows, while maintaining strict human validation of outputs.
• Act as the bridge across design, Program Management, and technical teams, ensuring alignment between product intent, data readiness, and delivered outcomes.
• Work with technical owners of pipelines/SQL while owning definitions, quality acceptance, and trust in the final data product.
