About The Role

The Senior Product Manager for the Collect product group at RudderStack will manage three primary products as a group: SDKs, Transformations, and Data Governance. This role involves building deep relationships with customers to understand their problems, owning the roadmap and execution of the product group as a whole, with the goal of creating a streamlined data collection, transformation, and governance experience for behavioral event data. The product experience should be crafted to serve the ultimate user goal of collecting high quality behavioral data, which builds trust with their internal stakeholders downstream. The ideal candidate will have deep experience in client and server-side SDKs, real-time data transformation, and event-based data governance and quality. Additionally, it is critical that these products are built with the entire RudderStack platform in mind, with an emphasis on creatively integrating these early stage functions (like SDKs and Data Governance) can streamline or automate downstream workflows in downstream products (like Profiles and Reverse ETL).

RudderStack is a remote company, though we do have one office in the eastern US. This role needs to be in EST, but can be a remote role. If there is a desire to relocate to the East Coast Office, we will cover expenses.
