Description
As Group Product Manager for Data/ML at Discord, you'll drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Discord's Machine Learning Platform and its applications, particularly to Advertising.
You'll guide the product philosophy, vision, and roadmap for Discord's ML Platform and its key use cases, own performance against key data and ML business metrics, and collaborate with Applied ML, ML Platform, and Data Science to build and prioritize the ML roadmap for Advertising products.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Guiding the product philosophy, vision, and roadmap for Discord's ML Platform and its key use cases (Personalization, Notifications, Safety, Advertising, Recommendations).
- Owning performance against key data and ML business metrics, and proactively reporting progress to stakeholders across the company.
- Collaborating deeply with Applied ML, ML Platform, and Data Science to build and prioritize the ML roadmap for Advertising products.
- Advising product teams across Discord on how to build and instrument their products with data-first capabilities from the start.
- Driving cross-functional execution across all product areas, working with engineers/MLEs, security, legal, and policy partners as needed.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of combined experience in data science and product management, including direct, hands-on experience as a data scientist or in a similarly quantitative role before moving into product.
- 3-5+ years of product management experience owning algorithmic, data-driven systems (e.g., bidding, ranking, personalization, and/or recommendations systems), including responsibility for prioritization, trade-offs, and timelines.
- Proven ability to analyze and synthesize data directly, not just interpret it secondhand, including comfort with the statistical and quantitative fundamentals behind modern ML systems.
- Demonstrated technical proficiency working closely with ML/data engineers, including familiarity with ML fundamentals, enough to cut through the buzz and separate what's practical at scale from what isn't.
- Experience operating across international or distributed teams and stakeholders.
Bonus Points:
- Experience in performance advertising and real-time bidding specifically.
- Proficiency in modern BI tooling (Looker, Tableau, or similar).
- Passion for games, gaming, or online communities.
