WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

You’ll join our Technology Solutions Group (TSG), partnering closely with cross-functional teams across product management, engineering, and business stakeholders.

WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM

You’ll be the voice of the customer for a portfolio of data products within Bain’s Knowledge & Research Systems domain. These products bring together case experience, practice viewpoints, external market data, and operational data to power knowledge discovery, workflow automation, analytics, and AI-enabled experiences.

You’ll own the reliability, business value, adoption, and maturity of these products, helping practice, case-team, Knowledge Management, and Research stakeholders define what they need while guiding data engineering, analytics engineering, and technology teams on what to build and how to design it.

Alongside the Product Manager and business sponsors, you’ll co-own data product strategy, roadmap development, and stakeholder relationships, working closely with both the agile team and senior stakeholders and customers.

• Lead discovery sessions, working groups, design reviews, user testing, demonstrations, and stakeholder decision forums
• Oversee data quality, reliability, freshness, lineage, discoverability, accessibility, and service-level expectations
• Partner with Data Stewards, Legal, Risk, Information Security, and Privacy teams to address governance and access requirements
• Drive data literacy and adoption through communications, training, enablement, and embedded user feedback
• Maintain a clear, prioritized backlog aligned with the data product strategy and roadmap, including writing and refining user stories and acceptance criteria
• Determine which work is ready for delivery and validate that completed work meets agreed requirements
• Lead team meetings and sprint reviews, identifying dependencies, risks, and impediments and driving their resolution
