About Us
Alembic solves marketing's hardest problem: proving what actually works. Our platform helps Fortune 100 companies make multimillion-dollar decisions with confidence.
We're backed by leading tech luminaries including WndrCo (founded by DreamWorks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg), Jensen Huang, Joe Montana, and many more.
About The Team - Data Products
We’re building a new division with a mandate to build the “invisible” products that make large-scale analytics run better, faster, and at lower cost. We’re led by multi-founder and technologist, Craig Harper.
That includes ingestion and transformation at scale, high-throughput processing and orchestration, reliability/observability layers, and cost-aware infrastructure improvements delivered as software. We’ll prove value internally by first powering Alembic’s own platforms then productize these capabilities for the broader market where they can stand alone as durable offerings.
The goal: turn core data plumbing into opinionated, reusable products that compress time-to-insight and total cost of ownership for enterprises.
About the Role - Product Manager
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to define and lead product strategy for Alembic's Data Products division. This is a high-impact founding role where you'll own the vision, roadmap, and execution for the tools and APIs that eliminate integration friction and accelerate customer time-to-value.
What You'll Do
Own product vision and strategy for data products that eliminate integration friction and accelerate customer time-to-value from weeks to days
Conduct deep customer discovery through direct engagement with Fortune 100 companies to identify pain points and translate them into clearly scoped product requirements
Partner closely with engineering to prioritize and ship SDKs, APIs, and tools—making strategic trade-offs between immediate customer needs and long-term platform scalability
Define and track metrics that measure product impact: adoption rates, integration time reduction, developer satisfaction, and revenue influence
Drive cross-functional alignment with GTM, engineering, operations, and leadership to ensure successful launches and rapid iteration based on customer feedback
Build systematic feedback loops with customers and internal teams to continuously improve product quality and developer experience
Make strategic product decisions that balance the needs of multiple stakeholders while maintaining focus on outcomes that drive business growth
What Will Help You Succeed
Product Management Experience
7-10 years in product management with focus on B2B/enterprise products, including at least 3 years on developer-facing or platform products
Track record of defining product strategy and shipping impactful products in 0-to-1 or high-growth environments
Experience working in agile/sprint-based development processes with engineering teams
Demonstrated ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
Technical Fluency
Deep technical understanding—can engage in detailed discussions about APIs, SDKs, data models, and system architecture with engineering teams
Solid grasp of data engineering fundamentals: ETL/ELT pipelines, data validation, schema evolution, data quality
Understanding of what makes great developer experience and tooling
Comfortable writing technical requirements, API specifications, and working closely with engineers during development
Product & Business Skills
Strong analytical and metrics-driven approach—experience defining KPIs and using data to inform product decisions
Excellent stakeholder management across engineering, GTM, operations, and executive leadership
Proven ability to conduct customer discovery and translate insights into actionable product requirements
Outstanding communication skills—can explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences and business concepts to engineers
Nice to Have
Engineering or data science background (you've written production code)
Experience in marketing technology, advertising technology, or data analytics domains
Startup experience, particularly in founding or very early roles (first 5-10 employees)
Direct experience selling to or working with Fortune 100 enterprises
Exposure to AI/ML products or infrastructure
This Role Is Right for You If
You're a technical PM who thrives at the intersection of deep technical complexity and customer impact—you love building products that developers love and that drive measurable business outcomes
You're energized by 0-to-1 product building with significant autonomy and ownership over strategy and execution in a new, independent division
You want to solve complex challenges for Fortune 100 companies making multimillion-dollar decisions while building a product portfolio from the ground up
Why You Might Be Excited About Alembic
Shape a new product category: Define and build data products that transform how Fortune 100 companies integrate with breakthrough marketing analytics technology—you're not just improving features, you're creating the integration layer for an entirely new approach to marketing measurement
Direct growth impact: Your products directly reduce integration time and accelerate sales velocity—clear line of sight from your roadmap decisions to revenue outcomes and customer success
Technical depth required: This isn't surface-level PM work—you'll engage deeply with APIs, data architecture, and complex technical trade-offs while working with elite engineers solving hard problems
Autonomy and ownership: Shape strategy and execution for an independent division with its own P/L, with the freedom to define how we build and the responsibility to deliver results
Startup upside with proven traction: Early-stage equity opportunity with experienced leadership, proven product-market fit, and Fortune 100 enterprise customers already using the platform
Why You Might Not Be Excited
You prefer consumer products or end-user features over B2B infrastructure and developer tooling that requires deep technical engagement
You want established processes and a large PM team rather than building the product function from scratch as the founding PM in a new division
You prefer hands-off product management over being deeply embedded with engineering teams and customers, getting into technical details daily
You want predictable roadmaps over dynamic priorities that adapt based on customer feedback, market learning, and the fast pace of a hyperscaling startup
Compensation Range: $175K - $183K
