As a Senior Technical Product Manager, you will oversee delivery, drive data-informed growth, and ensure cross-functional alignment to enhance the marketplace and platform experience.
About the Role
Science Exchange is seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager, Growth & Platform to join our small, high-impact product team. You’ll partner directly with our SVP of Product & Design to drive product execution and measurable growth across our marketplace and enterprise platform.
This is a role for a builder — someone who loves sitting next to engineers, writing excellent tickets, untangling complex systems, and using data to guide every decision. You’ll combine strong technical fluency with growth instincts, helping us deliver great products and learn faster as we scale.
If you thrive in a hands-on environment where you can own delivery, instrument insights, and directly impact business outcomes, you’ll feel right at home here.
What You’ll DoOwn Delivery & Execution- Act as Product Owner for core platform initiatives — managing backlog, writing detailed user stories, and collaborating daily with engineering.
- Collaborate with design to create useful and usable solutions that our customers love.
- Participate in standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives to drive clarity and momentum.
- Write clear, technically literate tickets that balance user needs, data dependencies, and system constraints.
- Partner with QA to validate acceptance criteria and ensure release quality.
- Proactively identify and unblock risks, dependencies, or ambiguity in delivery.
Drive Data-Informed Growth
- Define and track key growth metrics — activation, conversion, adoption, retention, and engagement.
- Partner with data and engineering teams to instrument analytics and establish product dashboards.
- Analyze feature performance and use data to prioritize product iterations and experiments.
- Work with GTM and Implementation teams to ensure seamless onboarding and customer adoption.
- Lead lightweight experiments (A/B tests, flow optimizations, messaging changes) to improve product performance.
Bridge Technical & Business Worlds
- Collaborate with engineers on system architecture, APIs, and integrations with ERPs, CRMs, and other enterprise tools.
- Understand data models and platform dependencies to make smart trade-offs and reduce technical debt.
- Partner with the VP of Product to ensure strategic initiatives translate into clear, achievable workstreams.
- Contribute to process improvements that make our product development lifecycle faster and more predictable.
- Communicate product goals, metrics, and delivery updates to stakeholders across the organization.
- Collaborate with Design to ensure user experience excellence and with Customer Success to capture feedback loops.
- Support documentation and knowledge sharing in Confluence, JIRA, and related tools.
