Klaviyo Lead Product Manager to set vision, strategy, and execution for Klaviyo's Data Ingestion Platform. Responsible for defining roadmap and partnering with engineering to build scalable, reliable data ingestion systems.
Responsibilities
We are seeking a highly technical Lead Product Manager to set the vision, strategy, and execution for our Data Ingestion Platform. This is a platform PM role, ideal for someone who operates comfortably at the intersection of deep architectural discussions and long-range product strategy — with a track record of driving measurable outcomes across complex, distributed systems.
Why This Role Matters
Data is foundational to everything Klaviyo delivers. This role sits at the heart of how that data enters and powers the platform. You’ll shape the architecture that enables reliable, scalable data ingestion for years to come — driving platform health, reducing complexity, and unlocking innovation across the company.
If you’re energized by building structure where it doesn’t yet exist, modernizing complex systems, and operating at the intersection of data architecture and product strategy, this is a high-impact opportunity to define a critical platform capability at scale.
Set the Vision: Define the long-term mission, charter, and ownership boundaries for a newly formed team — establishing clarity where ambiguity currently exists.
Own the Roadmap: Develop and maintain a coherent, high-impact roadmap that balances foundational investments with active initiatives; refine prioritization and sequencing across concurrent projects.
Drive Ingestion Strategy: Define the strategy for ingesting large volumes of data from numerous sources; think holistically about data movement, transformation, and reliability at scale.
Partner with Engineering: Partner with engineering to design ingestion systems that are scalable, resilient, and maintainable; navigate tradeoffs across performance, latency, cost, and reliability.
Accelerate with AI: Institutionalize AI and automation as force multipliers — identify opportunities to reduce toil, improve pipeline observability, and accelerate the roadmap through intelligent tooling.
Deliver Measurable Outcomes: Establish instrumentation and success metrics (e.g., ingestion reliability, pipeline latency, data freshness, change failure rate) to validate impact and adjust priorities based on outcomes.
Champion Quality & Reliability: Drive improvements in observability, monitoring, and operational excellence for ingestion systems; partner with SRE and platform teams to ensure reliability is built into every component.
Scale for the Future: Identify and drive architectural simplifications that improve platform health over time; guide tooling choices that will keep the data ingestion platform sustainable and scalable.
