Senior Data Science Product Manager, Marketplace

This role is not open to visa sponsorship or transfer of visa sponsorship including those on OPT and STEM-EXT OPT, nor is it available to work corp-to-corp.

This role requires a hybrid schedule and will be based in our South Charlotte, NC Headquarters (Tuesday through Thursday) and work fully remotely on Mondays and Fridays each week.

We are looking to hire a Senior Data Science Product Manager to join our Deregulated Energy industry group on our marketplace business. This product team is responsible for transforming our sales center, digital buy flows, and our business operations through applications in AI & ML. This group focuses on both building the underlying technology and applying the applications to the business opportunities to create value. Example projects include building agentic workflows for site personalization and real-time technology, powered by generative AI, to assist our sales professionals.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to own product life cycles from end to end. You will be responsible for establishing our strategy, setting roadmaps for the team, driving adoption of our machine-learning-driven applications, creating value, and utilizing end-user feedback to determine what to do next. We expect our data science product managers to be hands-on technical, both in how they leverage data to identify opportunities and leverage the team’s AI/ML solutions to drive business value and usage. We are looking for individuals who have experience in a hands-on role such as a data scientist or data analyst given some portion of this job will expect you to roll up your sleeves and get into the data.

This role will have a high level of visibility across the industry group. You will be the point-person for a key initiative with multiple senior stakeholders while working cross-functionally across the greater Energy and our Central Technology teams. Your contribution to the organization will be multifaceted – we are looking for someone who has a strong data foundation, can effectively collaborate with their development team, and can influence business decisions using their expertise and communication skills.

We believe that diverse, inclusive teams are better teams. Think of the bullets below as guidelines: if you only partially meet the qualifications on this posting, we encourage you to apply anyway!

What You'll Do

• Operate as the day-to-day lead on a strategic initiative, ensuring alignment with product leadership, business objectives, and customer needs.
• Identify opportunities, form the business case, and establish the strategy for data science-powered applications, assessing the feasibility, impact, and business value of AI/ML solutions.
• Translate high-level objectives into cohesive roadmaps and detailed technical deliverables, guiding engineering and data science teams through execution, and effectively delegating to junior product teammates.
• Own outcomes - lead hands-on execution in delivery, driving business value through KPI identification, experimentation, and optimization, creating case studies and playbooks for others to replicate.
• Solve our hardest problems - this may be owning our most complex / ambiguous workstreams or it may be hands-on technical/ML contributions to proof-of-concepts / prototypes to demonstrate feasibility and value of potential investments. 
• Mentor and develop junior DSPMs, helping them take ownership of workstreams, build product sense, and apply technical skills to drive business outcomes.

What we're Looking For:

• You have an entrepreneurial mindset with strong business acumen and are capable of coming up with data-driven ideas to create value for consumers and the business
• You have a strong technical and data foundation that enables you to communicate effectively with data scientists, understand relevant algorithms, get your hands dirty, and explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• You are results-oriented. You can guide a team to focus on the activities that will drive the largest lift to targeted metrics
• You are a proactive problem solver. You can discern input from multiple stakeholders, integrate data-driven insights with intuition, and prioritize workstreams effectively to maximize effectiveness and efficiency.
• Demonstrated ability in driving business decisions and behavior changes through machine learning and advanced analytics capabilities.
• Experience influencing cross-functional leadership, negotiating trade-offs, and making high-impact product decisions in ambiguous and fast-paced environments.
• Demonstrated ability to help identify areas of opportunity where ML/AI could be applied and experience contributing to the creation of the final product - either hands-on or in a product management capacity
• Hands-on experience in data-related programming languages (e.g., SQL, Python, R) 
• Excited about solving problems through consumer-facing solutions on a digital marketplace.
