Research Program Manager, Data Acquisition

About the RoleAs a Research Program Manager (RPM), Data Acquisition, you will partner with research, engineering, and operations to design and implement pragmatic solutions for acquiring data. You will be a key interface between our research roadmap and external data offerings.

In this role, you will:

• Partner deeply with research: Work with researchers to scope data needs, define success criteria, and translate priorities into clear execution plans.

• Shape the data acquisition pipeline: Identify, evaluate, and advance high impact data opportunities - balancing research value, feasibility, quality, and responsible execution.

• Unblock yourself: Move work forward even when the path is unclear — using technical judgement, creative problem solving, and scrappy execution to make progress while longer-term solutions are still forming.

• Build lightweight systems and visibility: Use SQL, Python, dashboards, and simple tooling to track performance, quality, and blockers.

• Drive technical roadmaps: Collaborate with engineers to enhance data platforms, resolve blockers, and ensure security best practices such as access management.

• Scale your impact: Equip vendors and internal teams with the context, standards, and operating rhythms needed to focus on the most important problems.
