The Role

As a Principal Product Manager, Data Products at EDO, you will own the strategy, development, and evolution of EDO's core data products - the foundational datasets, metrics, and data models that power our analytics, measurement, and client-facing applications.

You will sit at the center of Product, Data Science, and Engineering, ensuring that EDO's data is reliable, scalable, and usable across the organization. You will define how raw data is transformed into structured, governed, and reusable data assets that enable both internal teams and client-facing products.

This role sits at the intersection of Media Analytics, Data Science, and Engineering, with broad influence across teams. You will lead through both direct ownership and cross-functional alignment, setting standards, driving consistency, and ensuring that EDO's platform delivers consistent, high-quality data that can scale across use cases, clients, and products.
