Job description

ThoughtSpot is a Data & AI platform that helps companies turn data into enterprise advantage. We're Gartner MQ leaders with more than 1,000 customers globally and offices in Mountain View, Chicago, London, Bangalore, Sydney, and Tokyo.

About Spotter

Spotter is ThoughtSpot’s agentic analytics product. It reasons over governed enterprise data and shows its work, so its answers hold up in a board meeting. It covers:

• Data connectors that bring structured and unstructured data into Spotter.
• Spotter Analyst, the AI analyst inside ThoughtSpot.
• Slack and Microsoft Teams connectors that deliver answers where teams already work.
• The MCP Server, which brings Spotter into Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants.
• Embedded Spotter, for customers building it into their own applications.

What You'll Do:

You’ll own a product for all of Spotter and lead the Spotter PM team, with the full backing of ThoughtSpot’s R&D organization.

• Set the strategy. Decide where Spotter goes across data, surfaces and embedding, and what to cut.
• Make trust in the product. Partner with Engineering so accuracy, reasoning and governance hold up whatever the data source and wherever the answer is delivered.
• Win every surface. Make Spotter the analytics layer people reach for in ThoughtSpot, in Slack and Teams, in AI assistants and in customers’ own applications.
• Ship in days, not quarters. Get things in front of customers early and iterate in the open.

What You Bring:

• You’re a builder. You stay hands‑on: you prototype, try the product yourself and get into the details, rather than leading from a distance.
• You’ve run a product for an AI or data platform at scale.
• You understand both end‑user and developer/platform products: data integration, MCP, APIs and embedding.
• You have a strong point of view on where agentic analytics is going, and you change course fast when you’re wrong.
• You build PM teams that own their decisions.

In-Office at ThoughtSpot

Spotters are expected in-office 3+ days per week to be part of the energy of their local team. Momentum compounds when we're in the room together with faster decisions, sharper problem‑solving, and the kind of peer learning that doesn't happen over a screen. Being in-office is our default way of working, with flexibility available where it's genuinely needed.
