Who We Are

For over 20 years, SPINS has been a leader in recognizing the transformative power of data in retail. We offer our clients cutting-edge tools to attract attention from a fast-growing segment within the Health & Wellness industry, the values-based consumer. Nearly half of shoppers prioritize products that emphasize wellness, social responsibility, and sustainable practices. SPINS retail consumer insights, analytics, and consulting services give our clients a competitive advantage to increase their share of this growing market. Our data is the most comprehensive and accurate in the industry, allowing clients to power AI models and machine learning algorithms that help them better understand and meet their customers' needs. At SPINS, behind all of our impressive data is our real differentiator, our people. We pride ourselves on our collaborative, flexible, and communicative culture that puts people at the center of everything we do.

Senior Manager, Product Management

SPINS is looking for a Sr. Manager of Product Management to join the Commercial Applications Team. The Commercial Applications team supports the SPINS Portal, the shared gateway and utility layer that serves all SPINS applications — including Intelligence, Journey, and Foundry. Commercial Applications also just launched SPINS Intelligence, our flagship AI-powered analytics platform serving hundreds of CPG brands, brokers, and retailers. This is a player-coach role. You will set product strategy, align stakeholders, and make prioritization calls — but you will also roll up your sleeves and write stories, triage bugs with clients, review sprint output, and build deep firsthand expertise in the product and data. We need a leader who earns credibility through knowledge and execution, not just title. The ideal candidate combines strategic vision with strong CPG industry acumen and a genuine willingness to dive into the work. 

What You Will Do 

  • Set Product Strategy — Contribute to the vision and roadmap for SPINS Intelligence and Portal. Balance innovation, commercial impact, and cross-application needs across the business. 
  • Drive AI & Automation — Lead where AI, NLP, and automation create real client value — from the Workflow Utilities to natural-language querying to agentic analytics. Make grounded build-vs-partner decisions. 
  • Be Hands-On — Write stories, define acceptance criteria, triage client issues, and review sprint deliverables. Model the standard you expect from your team. 
  • Lead Cross-Functional Execution — Partner with Engineering, Data, Design, Commercial, and Finance to ship quality product. Drive provisioning, onboarding, and GTM for major launches. 
  • Build & Develop the PM Team — Mentor, and develop PMs. Establish operating rhythms, quality standards, and a culture of ownership and honest communication. 
  • Engage Clients & Market — Spend real time with brand, broker, and retailer clients to understand workflows and pain points. Translate field insight into product direction. 
  • Manage Product Economics — Own KPIs, revenue contribution, COGS, adoption data, and capacity. Build business cases for investment. 

What You Bring 

  • 6–12+ years in CPG/ product management, 3+ years leading PMs or cross-functional product teams 
  • Deep experience building SaaS analytics platforms, data products, or BI solutions — ideally in CPG, retail, or market research 
  • Strong CPG industry knowledge: you understand how brands, brokers, and retailers use syndicated data and analytics day-to-day 
  • Proven ability to set strategy and also operate hands-on — writing stories, triaging bugs, engaging directly with clients 
  • Experience shipping AI/ML-powered capabilities (NLP, workflow automation, recommendations, or similar) 
  • Strong technical acumen — comfortable with data pipelines, APIs, Snowflake/GCP, and engineering trade-off discussions 
  • Excellent communication: boardroom to backlog, exec presentations to story acceptance criteria 
  • Experience with Agile tools and practices (Jira, Pendo, etc.) 

Preferred 

  • Experience with SPINS, IRI/Circana, Nielsen, or similar syndicated data platforms 
  • Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, or agentic AI product design 
  • Background building portal/platform strategies that unify multiple applications under a shared experience 
  • PE-backed or high-growth environment experience 

Salary Range: $130,000-$140,000
