Big Data Innovation Product Manager

This mid-level Product Manager role focuses on the discovery and validation of next-generation Big Data products. You will move from raw market research to validated MVPs for a large telecommunications provider.

What you’d own

Lead product discovery, customer interviews, and market research
Build and prioritize a hypothesis backlog based on company strategy
Design and evaluate prototypes and MVPs for commercial potential
Prepare business cases and documentation for handover to core teams

Who it’s for

A fit if you…

✓You have 2+ years of experience in product discovery or innovation management
✓You have a background in Big Data, AI/ML, AdTech, or MarTech
✓You are skilled in Lean Startup and Design Thinking methodologies
✓You are comfortable conducting customer interviews and running experiments

Not for you if…

✗You prefer building established features over early-stage discovery work
✗You want to own the long-term lifecycle of a product beyond the MVP stage
✗You prefer working in a purely technical environment without heavy stakeholder management

Reading between the lines

The 'handover' requirement suggests this is a specialized innovation role rather than an end-to-end ownership role.
Emphasis on 'hypothesis backlogs' and 'experimentation plans' indicates a high degree of ambiguity in the early stages of the product lifecycle.
