About the Role We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager, Data to join our growing team! As Principal Product Manager, Data, you’ll partner with Data leadership to drive ML, GenAI, and data products from concept to production, ensuring cross-functional execution and measurable business outcomes. The Data cross-functional (XFN) team brings together Data Science, Risk Analytics, MLOps, AI and Data Engineering, and Data Analytics to build the models, datasets, and tools behind automations, valuations, document review, draw disbursements, and risk decisions. You’ll drive a portfolio of products and answer for what they save or earn, not just what they launch. Because the Data team often relies on other teams to get products in front of customers, coordination, communication, planning, and execution are essential. You’ll go deep enough to understand architecture calls with engineers, and you’ll build working prototypes yourself with AI tools. What You’ll Do - Drive a portfolio that spans ML and AI models that automate lending decisions across valuation, underwriting, and construction draws; GenAI document understanding that classifies, extracts, and reviews loan documents; internal tools that put data in front of Risk, Operations, and Sales teams; third-party data partnerships such as property, listings, lien, and zoning data; and data platform priorities for MLOps, Data Engineering, and Analytics - Collaborate with Data leadership to operationalize the Data XFN roadmap and track its quarterly OKRs, tying every major initiative to a key result, every result to a goal, with an owner on each contributing team - Facilitate data leadership forums as decision meetings, not status updates, bringing the hard calls to the table and queuing up data for each decision - Look past the committed roadmap to find new data and AI opportunities, and write them up with size, ROI, risk, and a go/no-go recommendation - Partner with relevant teams to develop program milestones, track progress, handle cross-team dependencies, mitigate risks, and run cross-team communications - Manage the priorities of multiple data science and development teams, ensuring alignment and streamlined execution of multiple concurrent projects - Write business cases that Finance signs off on before work starts, with conservative and aggressive forecasts - Measure business outcomes (cost, quality, hours saved) as rigorously as model accuracy, since a live model that doesn’t move the business metric isn’t a win yet - Work with FP&A and Operations to turn efficiency gains into approved capacity and budget changes - Find cost savings in vendor spend and manual work, and deliver them - Take ML and GenAI work from discovery or prototype through proof of concept, shadow mode, pilot, and production - Work with application engineering teams and product counterparts to move fast and learn from pilots - Set up phased QA, human evaluation, and feedback loops so operations teams trust a model before it scales - Guide launches through model governance, legal and compliance review, and user training - Analyze why a model underperforms and work with Data Science to improve it, or recommend a pivot or stop - Drive execution across teams by managing dependencies, tracking milestones, removing blockers, and ensuring initiatives make it into production - Align Engineering, Operations, Design, and Data on shared definitions, prototypes, and a written spec before development starts - Build alignment with leaders one-on-one ahead of group decisions - Secure unplanned engineering time by showing the size of the opportunity - Partner with operations, underwriting, sales, servicing, legal, and finance teams - Proactively remove obstacles to drive momentum and progress, identify communication gaps, and resolve issues to move quickly - Find new datasets the business needs, test their coverage and quality, and make the case to buy - Take purchases through procurement and own vendor relationships and renewals - Build prototypes with low-code and AI tools, and write SQL and use AI to answer your own questions - Go deep enough on APIs, queues, and data pipelines to help engineers make architecture decisions - Use AI coding tools to ship small changes yourself, and push Data, Engineering, and Product teams to work AI-first - Share the Data team’s work across the company through newsletters, launch notes, and product reviews - Proactively produce regular updates to the business on timelines, outcomes, and projections, and explicitly manage expectations when OKRs are at risk - Mentor PMs on business cases, experimentation, and GenAI - In your first 6 to 12 months, you’ll: - Establish a strong partnership with Data leadership on the Data XFN roadmap and OKRs so leaders across the business know where the team is headed and why - Raise automation rates and show
