Senior Product Manager, Data Catalog & AI Readiness

BambooHR is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own its data catalog and the program that makes product-domain data discoverable, documented, quality-scored, and safe for AI agents to consume. The role sets readiness standards, sequences domain onboarding and migrations, measures readiness, and partners with product, legal, and security teams on data use and safeguards.

Responsibilities:

• Own the data catalog as a product: domain onboarding, metadata and documentation standards, data quality signals, and a search and discovery experience that works for internal builders and AI agents
• Run our AI-ready domain program, including the assessment bar, the migration sequence, and the dated plan that takes every product domain to a state AI agents can consume
• Sequence catalog population by consumption demand, so the domains AI features need first get onboarded first
• Partner with the owner of our canonical data model so catalog entries conform to its entity definitions instead of inventing parallel ones
• Own readiness measurement: publish per-domain readiness status that leadership can act on, and hold the line that "assessed" and "ready" are different states
• Own the context and signal surfaces that agents draw on as they move from proof-of-concept to platform capabilities, including the standards for which signals agents may use
• Work with legal and security counterparts on data classification, consent boundaries, and what AI agent consumption of each domain requires
• Complete catalog onboarding for the leading domains on our readiness assessment list, with documented quality signals
• Publish a readiness scoreboard that shows every domain, its state, its blocker, and its date
• Establish a domain onboarding playbook so domain teams can onboard to the catalog themselves, without needing you
• Deliver the first dated batch of domain migrations on the path to migrating every product domain

Requirements:

• 5+ years of product management experience in data platforms, data infrastructure, developer tools, or adjacent technical products
• Technical depth in metadata, data contracts, or data quality
• You can read a schema, challenge a readiness claim, and tell documentation from documentation theater
• Program instincts: you're comfortable running a multi-team migration with a scoreboard, dates, and named owners
• Proven ability to drive alignment across teams without direct authority
• You can drive readiness work in domain teams that own the roadmap you depend on but not the outcome you're accountable for
• You hold the quality bar when the pressure is always to mark domains "ready" faster
• You can build for two consumers at once: human builders who need discovery and documentation, and AI agents that need machine-readable contracts and guardrails
• You can explain a readiness decision clearly and directly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Self-directed and entrepreneurial: you identify the next constraint without waiting for direction
• Experience with data catalogs, governance tooling, or master data management
• Exposure to AI and large language model (LLM) feature development, and what makes data usable by agents in practice
• Product experience with graph or relationship-querying capabilities
