Your role

As Brand Data Production Manager, you are the driving force behind Statista’s brand-related data portfolio. You own the brand data Type as a data product, with decision-making authority over what brand data to produce, develop, maintain, or retire, set priorities and quality bar that guide the teams who build and run the data pipelines.

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of brand data domains- including brand market shares, consumer awareness, brand perception, and loyalty metrics- defining the strategic direction, target users, and value proposition and serving as the central point of contact for what brand data should cover and why.

• Translate market trends, customer needs and use cases into clear coverage priorities and requirements, turning signals from Revenue, Quality, platform and API usage, customer feedback, and industry developments into a prioritized brand data roadmap.

• Identify data coverage gaps and define pragmatic solutions evaluating potential data sources, proxy data strategies, and methodology trade-offs to close critical gaps, weighing relevance against feasibility in collaboration with production teams.

• Define and track business-facing KPIs such as coverage of priority brands, data quality, and customer impact; establish and maintain quality gates, data governance standards, and escalation processes across the production pipeline, working with the Quality team to drive continuous improvement.

• Review and challenge trade-offs proposed by production and engineering teams (e.g. coverage vs. speed, automation vs. accuracy) from a relevance and customer-value perspective, while production line owners retain responsibility for how data is produced.

• Coordinate cross-functionally with Data Engineering, Content, Product, and commercial stakeholders to resolve dependencies and keep priorities aligned across the organization.

Your Profile

• Strong background in data product management, data operations, market/brand strategy, or business analytics, with the judgment to decide what data matters most and why and a track record of owning and driving a data domain or product area. Degree in a related field and/or equivalent practical experience.

• Solid understanding of data concepts and statistical reasoning, paired with a strong customer-focused business mindset and an understanding of how data creates value for users.

• Comfortable setting direction while depending on others for execution; you lead through clarity, prioritization, and evidence rather than direct control of delivery.

• Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills, experienced in translating complex business needs into actionable specifications for technical teams and briefing production teams around clear, well-justified priorities. Clear, confident communicator in English who excels at data storytelling and explains complex topics clearly.

• A structured, pragmatic, and curious way of working, with an ownership mindset and the ability to stay calm and decisive under pressure.

• Proficiency in Excel required; SQL and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) and project tools (Jira, Confluence) are a plus. Experience with market research or API-sourced data, Python, or cloud data platforms is an additional advantage.
