Product Manager – AI, Consumer Panel Data Platform

Job description

NielsenIQ Product Manager – AI, Consumer Panel Data Platform | SmartRecruiters

• Translate ambiguous business problems into well-defined AI/ML product requirements, success metrics, and phased delivery plans.

• Lead cross-functional initiatives end to end — from opportunity sizing and model feasibility through pilot, rollout, and adoption.

• Define how AI model performance is measured in business terms (accuracy, match rate, coverage, cost per transaction, time-to-data) and hold solutions accountable to those outcomes.

• Partner with data science on model development priorities, evaluation frameworks, and the tradeoffs between automation and human-in-the-loop review.

• Drive standardization of coding/decoding approaches across markets and data sources.

• Communicate strategy, progress, and results to senior stakeholders across Product, Technology, Operations, and Commercial teams.

• Stay ahead of AI/ML and agentic-automation trends and pressure-test their applicability to real production data workflows.

What You Bring* 3+ years of product management experience (or equivalent) with demonstrated ownership of technical or data-intensive products; experience shipping AI/ML-powered capabilities strongly preferred.

• Working fluency in AI/ML concepts — model training and evaluation, classification, LLMs, and automation patterns — and the judgment to know where AI adds value versus where it doesn't.

• Experience with large-scale data pipelines, data quality, or data operations environments.

• Strong analytical skills: comfortable defining metrics, interrogating model performance, and making evidence-based prioritization decisions.

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence senior stakeholders without direct authority.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; able to make complex technical topics clear to non-technical audiences.

• Curiosity, adaptability, and a bias for action in a fast-evolving domain.

Why This Role MattersThe quality of NielsenIQ's Consumer Panel output depends on how well we validate, code, and process raw consumer data — and AI is redefining what's possible in each of those steps. You'll own the capabilities that determine data quality, speed, and scale for one of the industry's most important consumer data assets, with direct impact on new products and the company's AI strategy.
