Product Owner – SDV Data Products

As Product Owner for SDV Data Products, you'll own your squad's delivery, turning strategy into clear, testable backlog items while managing the technical scale of core data pipelines. You'll be the primary technical counterpart to data suppliers and panel partners, driving the operational reliability that keeps signals fresh and trusted.

What you'll do

• Own and maintain your squad's backlog, working closely with the Lead PM for Data Products to translate strategy into clear, testable user stories.
• Lead the roadmap for modernising, scaling, and optimising core data ingestion and processing pipelines to handle high-throughput workloads.
• Manage internal dependencies — SLAs, schema contracts, and joint roadmap touchpoints — with downstream squads such as Measurement, Activation, and Data Products.
• Act as the primary PO-level counterpart to data supplier and panel partner technical teams, co-owning ingestion specs and schema contracts.
• Define, own, and report on operational KPIs such as signal freshness, SLA adherence, panel coverage, schema validation pass rate, and match rate.
• Establish SLIs, SLOs, and escalation paths in partnership with engineering, and own the operational visibility layer that surfaces data product health.

What you'll need

• 3-5 years of experience as a Product Owner or technical PM, ideally in AdTech, MarTech, or another data-heavy ecosystem.
• Strong at managing delivery and technical scale: sequencing complex backend work, mapping dependencies, and scoping against time.
• Operationally rigorous: comfortable thinking in SLIs, SLOs, freshness, match rate, and MTTR.
• Data-fluent with required SQL proficiency: able to independently query internal data sources to investigate supplier data, panel quality, and pipeline KPIs.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to make decisions with limited information.
• Privacy-aware product thinker who understands data governance and evolving privacy frameworks.

• Based in Berlin, or open to working from the Berlin office periodically.
• Prior experience collaborating directly with identity vendors, panel providers, or purchase-data suppliers on schema and integration work.
