Job Description
Join a very fast-growing team at Numerator! The Data Team is at the forefront of machine learning, computer vision, and other new technologies that enable us to extract information from our hundreds of thousands of panelists and turn it into data that many Fortune 500 companies use to guide their business and answer questions about who is buying their products and why.
The Associate Product Manager works alongside engineering teams to ingest consumer purchase data in many forms, parse and process it, turn it into structured data, and enrich it with additional context. Unique within our Product Data team, this role is expected to rotate between a few different teams, gaining experience in several different technical areas and team dynamics.
The role is a mix of tactical - organizing sprints, researching upcoming features, and getting into the nitty gritty details of processing receipts and the complex business logic involved - and strategic - working with stakeholders to understand customer problems, thinking big about future enhancements, changes in the market and our clients’ needs.

- Work with Product Managers to drive quarterly planning sessions and set sprint priorities for the engineering team
- Run standups, sprint planning, and refinement sessions
- Maintain and prioritize a backlog of tickets
- Work closely with the Product Managers to translate the product specifications into mockups and actionable steps for the development team
- Develop and own features from data analysis, discovery, user interviews, design and launch. Prioritize features and resources to ensure critical engineering resources are working on the highest impact solutions.
- Manage resource allocation across different initiatives and work closely with engineering leaders to make sure that key engineering talent is efficiently allocated
- Build and maintain metrics and dashboards to track team performance
- Perform acceptance testing of features before release to ensure correct implementation
- Work with engineering and operations teams to update and maintain product documentation for new and existing features
