Senior Manager, Product Management

SPINS is looking for a Sr. Manager of Product Management to join the Commercial Applications Team. The Commercial Applications team supports the SPINS Portal, the shared gateway and utility layer that serves all SPINS applications — including Intelligence, Journey, and Foundry. Commercial Applications also just launched SPINS Intelligence, our flagship AI-powered analytics platform serving hundreds of CPG brands, brokers, and retailers. This is a player-coach role. You will set product strategy, align stakeholders, and make prioritization calls — but you will also roll up your sleeves and write stories, triage bugs with clients, review sprint output, and build deep firsthand expertise in the product and data. We need a leader who earns credibility through knowledge and execution, not just title. The ideal candidate combines strategic vision with strong CPG industry acumen and a genuine willingness to dive into the work. 

What You Will Do 

• Set Product Strategy — Contribute to the vision and roadmap for SPINS Intelligence and Portal. Balance innovation, commercial impact, and cross-application needs across the business.
• Drive AI & Automation — Lead where AI, NLP, and automation create real client value — from the Workflow Utilities to natural-language querying to agentic analytics. Make grounded build-vs-partner decisions.
• Be Hands-On — Write stories, define acceptance criteria, triage client issues, and review sprint deliverables. Model the standard you expect from your team.
• Lead Cross-Functional Execution — Partner with Engineering, Data, Design, Commercial, and Finance to ship quality product. Drive provisioning, onboarding, and GTM for major launches.
• Build & Develop the PM Team — Mentor, and develop PMs. Establish operating rhythms, quality standards, and a culture of ownership and honest communication.
• Engage Clients & Market — Spend real time with brand, broker, and retailer clients to understand workflows and pain points. Translate field insight into product direction.
• Manage Product Economics — Own KPIs, revenue contribution, COGS, adoption data, and capacity. Build business cases for investment.

What You Bring 

• 6–12+ years in CPG/ product management, 3+ years leading PMs or cross-functional product teams
• Deep experience building SaaS analytics platforms, data products, or BI solutions — ideally in CPG, retail, or market research
• Strong CPG industry knowledge: you understand how brands, brokers, and retailers use syndicated data and analytics day-to-day
• Proven ability to set strategy and also operate hands-on — writing stories, triaging bugs, engaging directly with clients
• Experience shipping AI/ML-powered capabilities (NLP, workflow automation, recommendations, or similar)
• Strong technical acumen — comfortable with data pipelines, APIs, Snowflake/GCP, and engineering trade-off discussions
• Excellent communication: boardroom to backlog, exec presentations to story acceptance criteria
• Experience with Agile tools and practices (Jira, Pendo, etc.)

Preferred 

• Experience with SPINS, IRI/Circana, Nielsen, or similar syndicated data platforms
• Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, or agentic AI product design
• Background building portal/platform strategies that unify multiple applications under a shared experience
• PE-backed or high-growth environment experience

Salary Range: $130,000-$140,000
