About this role
About Prophecy
Prophecy is building the next generation of AI-powered Data Prep and Analytics. Our platform enables business analysts and data teams to transform raw data into reliable, production-ready datasets and insights faster, using modern data infrastructure and AI-driven capabilities. We work with leading enterprises to simplify how organizations prepare, analyze, and operationalize data, while maintaining strong governance, security, and operational control. Our mission is to make it dramatically easier for organizations to turn complex data into trusted insights that drive decisions.
Why This Role Exists
We are building an AI-native data platform that sits at the intersection of data infrastructure, analytics, and intelligent systems.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager who operates like a builder and owner, not just a planner, but someone who:
Thinks in terms of the full data → insights → decisions → actions lifecycle
Uses AI tools and prototyping to explore ideas before formalizing them
Balances deep customer understanding with strong technical intuition
Drives products from concept to production with high ownership and velocity
You will own a product area end-to-end and play a critical role in shaping how analysts interact with data in modern enterprise environments.
What You’ll Do
Product Strategy & Ownership
Own and evolve the roadmap for a product area over a 1–3 quarter horizon, balancing customer needs, technical investments, and business goals
Translate product vision into clear initiatives and priorities aligned with Prophecy’s broader strategy
Evaluate opportunities based on impact, effort, and strategic fit, making thoughtful trade-offs
Think beyond features to systems: how do capabilities fit into the broader data and analytics ecosystem
Customer Insight & Discovery
Develop deep understanding of analyst workflows across data preparation, transformation, and analysis
Run continuous discovery through customer interviews, product usage data, sales and support signals, and win/loss analysis
Frame problems clearly before jumping to solutions
Understand enterprise constraints including governance, compliance, and operational complexity
AI-Native Product Development
Use AI tools (LLMs, copilots, workflows) as a core part of product development, not an afterthought
Build lightweight prototypes (prompts, workflows, internal tools) to validate ideas before writing full specifications
Identify where AI-driven capabilities and automation can meaningfully improve user workflows
Ensure AI features are reliable, explainable, and aligned with enterprise requirements
Product Development & Execution
Work closely with engineering and design to deliver high-quality product capabilities
Write clear, structured product specifications grounded in data and user insight
Define success metrics and track adoption, impact, and effectiveness
Monitor execution progress, identify risks early, and drive cross-team alignment
Maintain a high bar for usability, reliability, and product integrity
Cross-Functional Leadership
Align engineering, design, sales, and customer success around shared outcomes
Communicate product direction through clear documentation and structured decision-making
Resolve ambiguity and misalignment quickly to maintain execution momentum
Contribute to product positioning and narrative through artifacts such as one-pagers, demos, and customer-facing materials
Operational Ownership
Own the operational health of your product area, including performance monitoring, feature adoption, issue triage, and iteration cycles
Establish and improve repeatable processes that increase execution speed and predictability
Who You Are
Required
5+ years of product management experience in data platforms, analytics products, developer tools, or enterprise software
Strong understanding of data preparation, analytics workflows, and modern data infrastructure
Experience working closely with engineering teams to deliver technical products
Hands-on familiarity with AI-powered products or intelligent systems
Ability to translate complex problems into clear, actionable product specifications
Experience working with APIs, SDKs, CLIs, or other developer-facing systems
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Preferred
Experience operating in a high-growth startup environment (Series A–C)
Comfortable using AI tools (LLMs, copilots) to accelerate your own workflow and product thinking
Ability to prototype ideas, e.g. prompts, workflows, lightweight tools to validate concepts quickly
Familiarity with technologies such as Spark, SQL, data warehouses, ETL/ELT pipelines, or orchestration systems
Experience working with enterprise customers and complex data environments
Ability to interpret product analytics and customer signals to guide decisions
Strongly Preferred
Experience shipping AI/ML-powered capabilities in data or analytics products
Deep familiarity with the modern data ecosystem, e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery
Experience building products for regulated industries, e.g. finance, healthcare, pharma with requirements around governance, lineage, and compliance
Experience navigating enterprise sales cycles and deployment constraints
How You Work
You operate with a sense of end-to-end ownership and accountability
You are comfortable with ambiguity and move quickly to create clarity
You combine product intuition with data-driven decision making
You use tools including AI to increase leverage and speed
