About the Role:
The Enterprise Data Platform team enables data-driven decision-making across PitchBook by delivering scalable, trusted, and accessible data products and services. Our mission is to empower teams across the Enterprise with high-quality data that drives operational efficiency, strategic insights, and faster, more confident decision-making.
As PitchBook continues to grow, the Enterprise Data Platform plays a critical role in advancing our data strategy through modern data capabilities, strong governance practices, and scalable platform solutions. We partner closely with business, analytics, and engineering teams to build reliable data foundations that support innovation, improve accessibility, and unlock enterprise value at scale.
The Data Product Manager leads the development of data products that drive business value and support user-centric decision-making. This role is responsible for advancing data accessibility, governance, and quality while partnering cross-functionally with engineering, analytics, and business teams to deliver scalable, high-impact solutions.
Operating at the intersection of data strategy, product delivery, and business outcomes, the role owns the end-to-end lifecycle of data products — from discovery and prioritization through delivery and continuous improvement. Success in this role requires strong systems thinking, the ability to manage data dependencies and remove bottlenecks, and a focus on delivering reliable, high-quality data products efficiently.
This is an excellent opportunity for a growth-oriented product manager to expand their expertise in data, analytics, and platform product management within a fast-growing environment. If you enjoy building customer-centric solutions, thrive in collaborative environments, and are passionate about delivering impactful products, we’d love to hear from you.

At the heart of our company is a belief in the power of in-person collaboration. Being together in the office fuels our creativity, strengthens our connections, and drives the innovation that sets us apart. Our culture is built on spontaneous moments—those hallway conversations, whiteboard brainstorms, and shared celebrations in each of our global offices—that simply can’t be replicated remotely. This role is expected to be in the office 5 days a week.
The job conditions for this position are in a standard office setting. Employees in this position use PC and phone on an on-going basis throughout the day. Limited corporate travel may be required to remote offices or other business meetings and events.
We are excited to get to know you and your background. Concerned that you might not meet every requirement? We encourage you to still apply as you might be the right candidate for the role or other roles at PitchBook.
