Alteryx is a leading company in data analytics and automation, seeking a Senior Principal Product Manager to lead their enterprise data plane strategy. The role involves defining the vision for data ingestion, governance, and processing, while collaborating with engineering and enterprise customers to enhance the platform's capabilities.
Responsibilities:
- Define and drive the long-term vision for Alteryx’s enterprise data plane, including ingestion, orchestration, transformation, governance, and runtime execution
- Partner with engineering to evolve our architecture toward a scalable, cloud-native, API-first, and AI-ready platform
- Work directly with our largest enterprise customers to understand complex data environments (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, on-prem, hybrid) and translate needs into platform capabilities
- Lead product strategy for performance, scalability, security, and compliance (SOC2, HIPAA, FedRAMP, etc.)
- Shape how Alteryx integrates into modern data stacks, including semantic layers, data catalogs, and AI/ML workflows
- Drive decisions on build vs. partner vs. acquire across critical data plane components
- Influence cross-functional teams across engineering, GTM, customer success, and partnerships to deliver cohesive platform capabilities
- Establish clear metrics for adoption, performance, and enterprise readiness; own outcomes, not just roadmap
Requirements:
- 10+ years in product management, with significant experience in data platforms, infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS
- Deep understanding of modern data architectures: ETL/ELT, lakehouse, streaming, query engines, and semantic layers
- Proven experience building or scaling data plane or control plane systems in cloud or hybrid environments
- Strong technical fluency—you can engage credibly with architects and engineers on system design and tradeoffs
- Experience working with large enterprise customers and navigating complex requirements and buying processes
- Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels, from vision-setting to detailed product decisions
- Clear communicator who can align executives, engineers, and customers around a shared direction
