WHO ARE YOU?

Passionate and motivated. Driven, with an entrepreneurial spirit. Resourceful, innovative, forward thinking and committed. At Live Nation Entertainment, our people embrace these qualities, so if this sounds like you then please read on! You embody our core values of Keep It Simple, Be Inquisitive, Win Together, and Own It. You’re naturally curious: you want to learn how things work, from the source systems to the business processes behind the data, so you can find ways to improve them. You’re a versatile high performer who makes AI part of how you work. You are skilled in building consensus, making data-driven decisions, and delivering world-class data products, with AI as a force multiplier. You persuasively advocate for an idea, but you stay open-minded and prioritize rigorously. You have a bias toward action. Most of all, you love to dig in and build amazing things with your team, always pushing the envelope.

THE ROLE

Live Nation Core Data Services (CDS) team is looking for a Product Manager to create internal data products, primarily for marketing and operations teams. A major part of this role is helping engineering teams ingest data sources from operations worldwide into a single global data platform on which our data products are built. You'll work with internal customer groups to ideate, define, build, and launch data products that drive outcomes across business functions and markets. This includes onboarding data from new business domain streams, enforcing data contracts, and shaping domain models before the first layer of transformations lands. This is a key role on an entrepreneurial team with the resources, exposure, and customer base of the world's leading live entertainment company. The person we're looking for will combine passionate product management with discipline and a keen attention to detail, and will build trust throughout the business. We need research and iterative validation driving technical solutions. We need someone who manages a roadmap and backlog, often feeding more than one engineering team, and who clearly defines success criteria and post-launch measurement requirements, all of which is found in their documentation. You'll also help us raise the bar on how a product team works with AI, both in your own workflow and in making our data easy for AI tools and agents to use. This role is built for growth: as you establish yourself, you'll take on additional domains and broader responsibility. It's a highly visible role on a high-performing, global team.

WHAT THIS ROLE WILL DO

Own the roadmap and backlog for one or more data domains, and connect priorities to business outcomes. Get up to speed quickly on in-flight work, producer relationships, and stakeholder commitments. Lead discovery with internal customers and source-system producers; translate business needs into clear technical requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria in Jira. Work with source-system teams on data contracts, agreeing on shape, grain, and quality before data lands. Partner with data engineers on delivery, from intake and design through launch, adoption, and iteration; manage dependencies and surface risks early. Define and track success metrics for your area: adoption, freshness, data quality, and consumer impact. Investigate data directly: write SQL against production data to validate requirements, profile sources, and confirm that what shipped is correct. Own documentation for your domain (definitions, lineage, tags, and known gaps) so people and AI tools can find and trust the data. Use AI tools daily for discovery, analysis, requirements, and documentation, and share what works with the team. Communicate status, trade-offs, and changes clearly to stakeholders and leadership.

AI COMPETENCIES

Hands-on AI use: You use AI assistants and coding agents (for example Claude Code, Codex, or Databricks Assistant and Genie) as part of daily work: drafting SQL, synthesizing research, prototyping, and drafting specs. Critical evaluation: You check AI output against source data and real behavior before acting on it or sharing it, and you can explain why an answer is wrong. AI-ready data: You understand what makes data usable by AI, and you build that into your product requirements. Specs that agents can execute: You write requirements and acceptance criteria precise enough for an engineer, or an engineer's AI agent, to build from without guessing. Responsible use: You know the basics of how LLMs work (context, retrieval, hallucination) and apply data privacy and governance rules when data is used with AI tools.

WHAT THIS PERSON WILL BRING

1. 3+ years of product management experience, ideally on data, platform, or technical products.
2. A strong data background; experience in BI, analytics, or data engineering is a plus.
3. Experience connecting directly to data sources and writing your own SQL.
4. Familiarity with Python, Spark, or Databricks, enough to read a notebook or pipeline and follow what it does, is a big plus.
5. Working knowledge of how data moves from source to consumption (ingestion, modeling, and delivery) in batch and streaming systems.
6. Demonstrated, practical use of generative AI tools (AI assistants, prompt engineering, agent workflows) to improve your own work, with examples you can walk through.
7. Experience writing requirements that turn business needs into technical requirements, plus Jira and agile story writing.
8. Working knowledge of privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, including consent and data subject requests, and how they shape data products.
9. Experience with customer or behavioral data is a plus.
10. Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable facilitating discussions across technical and business teams.
11. Comfortable managing several projects at once and prioritizing between competing stakeholders.
12. Willingness to work across time zones and outside normal hours when needed.
13. Bachelor’s degree in a technical or related field, or equivalent experience.
14. A passion for live music and events is a plus.
