Senior Product Manager

Dataiku is a leading AI and machine learning platform that helps companies transform their data into business results. We empower organizations to develop and deploy AI solutions at scale, fostering collaboration between data scientists, data engineers, and business analysts.

Introduction

Dataiku is seeking a Senior Product Manager to significantly impact our product by driving the positioning, roadmap, and requirements for predictive analytics, machine learning, and Generative AI (GenAI) offerings. You will collaborate with various teams, including Engineering, Product, GTM, Partners, Marketing Operations, and Customer Success, to deliver innovative growth projects and new product features.

Your primary focus will be on identifying and developing net-new capabilities for the product. This involves deep customer engagement and thorough validation before engineering commitments. While you won't be responsible for maintaining existing features, your role is to discover what's missing and champion its development.

If you are ready for a role where your expertise will have a widespread, tangible impact, shaping the future of our products with every insight, we encourage you to apply!

Responsibilities

• Embed with strategic customers to conduct structured discovery (interviews, asynchronous collaboration, or on-site visits) to identify unmet needs before they become obvious to competitors.
• Analyze usage and customer data to pinpoint gaps and opportunities, enhancing customer success and delivering new capabilities with clear business value, thereby contributing to the company's financial objectives.
• Analyze market trends and competition, and engage with industry analysts and Dataiku teams to implement Dataiku’s product strategy. Collaborate with the Product Marketing team on product positioning messages.
• Develop working prototypes (UI mockups, agentic pipeline demos, opportunity memos) to validate hypotheses with customers before committing to engineering.
• Synthesize field feedback across accounts to differentiate between incremental customer requests and genuine innovation opportunities (new capabilities that would be core additions to the platform).
• Define and champion innovation initiatives from discovery through launch, at which point ownership transitions to Technical Product Managers for ongoing improvements and maintenance.
• At launch, partner with Technical Product Managers to create enablement materials for internal stakeholders (Product Marketing and GTM Enablement), ensuring new capabilities are launched with correct positioning, messaging, and field readiness.
• Maintain the product backlog for your initiatives, constantly aligning with the global product strategy and software engineering delivery capacity.
• Participate in the development, maintenance, and education of the AI/ML roadmap. Clearly communicate your team’s technology vision, requirements, goals, and milestones to stakeholders.

What you will NOT be doing

• Managing the full lifecycle of every feature. Your focus concludes once a capability reaches a stable state. You will concentrate on product discovery and prioritization to maximize value creation and minimize the risk of developing the wrong solution, rather than managing maintenance priorities or driving minor incremental improvements to existing features.
• Product management focused solely on feature development. You will collaborate closely with Technical Product Managers (PO) to ensure the engineering team has what they need for timely capability delivery, but you will not delve into technical analysis.
• Shipping production solutions to customers directly. Your role involves building prototypes and demos to clarify customer problems or to support compelling roadmap presentations.
• Being evaluated on Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Success metrics will include the number of validated opportunities incorporated into engineering commitments, NPS of customer sessions, and time from discovery to roadmap entry.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a similar role with a proven ability to learn and excel in a highly technical environment with diverse audiences.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience building AI/ML solutions (e.g., advanced analytics, predictive analytics, GenAI-powered applications).
• Ability to prototype: You can build and demonstrate agentic applications within Dataiku or other platforms, not just create slides. While not a software engineer, you can produce tangible artifacts to test ideas.
• Ability to engage with business leaders and influence decisions.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams without formal authority.

Location

This role is open to candidates in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Specific locations include Paris, France (remote and in-office), Berlin (Munzstrasse 12) & remote in Germany, Amsterdam & remote in Netherlands, remote in Spain, and London & remote in United Kingdom.
