Manager of Data Products
PYMNTS Intelligence | Full time | Remote, US-based, with regular time in Boston
The job in one sentence
You'll turn the PYMNTS Trendscapes data dashboards into a subscription business people pay for because the data is current, the briefs are newsworthy, and the pages are impossible to miss.
About PYMNTS Intelligence
PYMNTS Intelligence is the research arm of PYMNTS, the intelligence platform at the intersection of payments, commerce, the AI economy and digital assets. Our PhDs and analysts survey tens of thousands of consumers and businesses a year. Trendscapes is where that data lives: ten dashboards, each tracking a category that matters to the people who run payments and commerce businesses. Right now the dashboards are a research asset. Your job is to make them a product.
What you'll own:
The dashboards section of the site. You'll keep every Trendscape current, organized and findable. You'll own the registration and paywall path and know, for each dashboard, what's free, what's gated and why.
A steady stream of data briefs. You'll publish short briefs on a fixed cadence. Each one is built around one chart and one finding that's news today. You'll use AI tools to scan the data for the angle, draft fast and test headlines. You'll own the judgment on what's actually a story.
Merchandising the data. You'll decide which charts and findings get pushed to social, newsletters and the sales team as proof points, and you'll package them so they travel.
Traffic and conversion. You'll work with our growth team on paid, email and answer-engine optimization, and you'll know which briefs and which dashboards pull registrations and which convert to paid.
The numbers. You'll report registrations, conversion to paid and churn by Trendscape every month, and you'll tell our sales and research teams which data sets are working and which need help.
What you won't do
You won't build the underlying data or run the surveys. That's our research team. You won't write long-form reports. Briefs only, and short.
Who you are
You've grown a data product, a newsletter audience or a subscription content business, and you can show the numbers.
You think in headlines and funnels. You can look at a chart and see the story in it, and you can tell when there isn't one.
You're fluent with AI writing and analysis tools and you use them every day to move faster, not to replace your judgment.
You're comfortable in a spreadsheet and a charting tool. You don't need an analyst to pull a cut for you.
You write clean, plain English quickly.
You've worked with growth and sales teams and you like being measured on outcomes.
Payments, commerce or fintech background is a plus, not a requirement. Curiosity about the data is.
How we'll interview
We'll hand you one Trendscape dashboard and give you ten minutes to pitch three briefs from it. Then we'll ask how you'd get each one in front of the right reader.
Who you'll report to
The Head of PYMNTS Intelligence, with close working lines to our Head of Research Production on standards and AEO, and to our Head of Growth and Head of Sales on traffic and conversion.
What success looks like at 12 months
Every Trendscape has a current dashboard, a brief cadence that's never missed, a registration base that's growing month over month, and a paid subscriber count we can put in front of the board.
To apply, send a resume and two examples of short data-driven content you've published, with whatever performance numbers you can share.
