Position overview:

The Director of Product Management, Analytics is a senior leadership role responsible for defining and executing the product vision and roadmap across Zema Global’s analytics capabilities. This spans the full analytics product surface — including cQuant.io’s quantitative modeling and risk tools, AI-driven analytical features, data visualization and reporting, and emerging analytics capabilities being developed across the broader Zema Global product portfolio.

This is a high-impact, cross-product role that requires a rare combination of domain expertise in energy and commodities markets, deep comfort with quantitative and AI-based analytics, and the leadership skills to align engineering, data science, and commercial teams around a coherent analytics strategy. The Director will serve as Zema Global’s internal and external authority on analytics product direction — championing innovation while staying grounded in what clients need today.

Key responsibilities:

Product Strategy & Roadmap

• Own the analytics product roadmap across Zema Global’s portfolio, ensuring coherence and strategic alignment across cQuant.io and other products.

• Define a differentiated analytics vision that integrates traditional quantitative modeling with AI/ML-enhanced capabilities.

• Make disciplined prioritization decisions that balance near-term client needs, platform scalability, and longer-term innovation bets.

• Communicate roadmap direction clearly to executive leadership, engineering teams, and client-facing stakeholders.

Customer & Market Engagement

• Build deep relationships with key clients to understand evolving analytical workflows, decision-making processes, and unmet needs.

• Lead discovery interviews, design reviews, and beta programs to validate hypotheses before committing to build.

• Partner with Sales and Customer Success to support deal cycles and retention — acting as a product authority in strategic client conversations.

• Track the competitive landscape across energy analytics, commodities risk platforms, and adjacent AI-powered data tools.

AI-Based Analytics

• Identify and prioritize high-value opportunities to apply machine learning, forecasting, natural language interfaces, and generative AI across Zema Global’s analytics products.

• Shape how AI-driven insights are surfaced to users — ensuring outputs are explainable, trustworthy, and commercially compelling.

• Define product requirements for AI/ML features in collaboration with Data Science, including interpretability, confidence communication, and user controls.

• Stay current on applied AI developments in energy markets, quantitative finance, and enterprise analytics.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate with Engineering and Architecture to drive delivery of the analytics roadmap with quality, velocity, and technical sustainability.

• Work with Design to make complex analytics intuitive and accessible across user personas — from quantitative analysts to executives.

• Partner with Marketing on go-to-market strategy, product launch plans, and thought leadership positioning for analytics capabilities.

• Coordinate across product lines within Zema Global to ensure analytical coherence and avoid duplication of effort.

Team Leadership

• Mentor and develop product managers within the analytics domain, building a culture of rigor, curiosity, and customer focus.

• Establish and refine product management practices: discovery frameworks, PRDs, success metrics, and roadmap communication cadences.

• Represent analytics product strategy in executive and, where appropriate, board-level conversations.

Qualifications:

Required

• 10+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years focused on analytics, data, or quantitative platforms.

• Demonstrated successful monetization of New Product Introductions spanning through Product Go-To-Market and sales enablement.

• Demonstrated success owning complex B2B SaaS product roadmaps from concept through delivery and adoption.

• Strong understanding of energy markets, commodities trading, risk management, or related quantitative finance domains.

• Experience leading cross-functional teams in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

• Ability to communicate fluently across technical, commercial, and executive audiences.

• Working familiarity with AI/ML concepts and their application in data-intensive products.

Preferred

• Hands-on background in quantitative finance, data science, or computational modeling.

• Prior experience at an energy software, commodity trading, or financial technology company.

• Experience building or managing AI-enhanced product features, including generative AI or NLP applications.

• Familiarity with cloud-native analytics infrastructure, APIs, and enterprise data platforms.
