Job summary

Mixpanel, Inc. in San Francisco (Hybrid) is seeking a Product Manager - Data to own the strategy and roadmap for Mixpanel's place in the data landscape.

You will shape data architecture choices and define how we work with data inside and outside our walls. You will partner with engineering and leadership to turn ambiguous tradeoffs into a clear point of view, and to build a data model, governance, and metadata strategy that supports a growing product portfolio.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on product management experience, including ownership of technically complex, infrastructure- or platform-level problems.
• Direct experience with the modern data stack — data warehouses, data lakes, ETL/ELT, or data platform tooling — as a builder, user, or product owner.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, with a track record of synthesizing competing technical and business inputs into a clear strategic point of view.
• Experience partnering closely with engineering on architecture-level tradeoffs, not just feature scoping.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to bring technical and non-technical audiences along on a strategic narrative.
• Experience using AI tools in product management workflows (e.g., competitive research, prototyping)

Responsibilities

• Define and drive Mixpanel's strategy and roadmap for how the product evolves alongside customers' data warehouses, lakes, and the broader modern data stack
• Turn complex, ambiguous architecture and business tradeoffs into a clear recommendation, grounded in customer evidence, competitive context, and business impact
• Partner closely with engineering leadership on build-vs-integrate-vs-partner decisions that shape Mixpanel's data architecture for years to come
• Talk directly to customers and prospects to understand how their data infrastructure and workflows are changing, and translate that into product bets
• Build the business case for infrastructure-level investments, making the ROI of foundational, long-horizon work legible to leadership
• Define how Mixpanel's data model, governance, and metadata need to evolve to support deeper analysis and a growing product portfolio
• Align engineering, design, and go-to-market teams around a shared strategic point of view, with clear, written communication
• Define and track the metrics that tell you whether the strategy is working, and course-correct as new evidence comes in
