Job brief:
The Weather Data Business Unit sits at the intersection of world-class science and global scale. We take the cutting-edge APIs developed by our Science, Forecasting, and Engineering teams—originally built for critical sectors like Consumer, Aviation, Defense, and Broadcast—and transform them into commercial packaged products for the global market. With an infrastructure handling over 200 billion requests per day, we operate one of the largest and most reliable data ecosystems on the planet.
We are seeking a strategic, data-driven, and customer-obsessed Enterprise API Product Manager to lead and scale our API package portfolio, including discovery and purchasing. This includes ongoing packaging and pricing of our 30 current standard and premium API packages, as well as evaluating the 200+ documented APIs, their associated endpoints, and identifying additional commercial package opportunities that would bring value to key industry and cross-industry use cases made available in any published commercial package.
This role will drive the strategy, roadmap, and execution of our Weather API package product portfolio, ensuring it meets the needs of developers, businesses, and end-users. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in product management, API development, and building intuitive self-serve platforms, with a passion for leveraging weather data to solve real-world business problems. Your success will be the result of your strong business and technical acumen, an experimentation mindset, and a scrappy, self-starting attitude to iterate quickly, deliver value, and unlock growth.
The impact you'll make:
- Own the Weather API Package Product Portfolio: Define, manage, and evolve a diverse set of API packages, including basic, standard, premium, and vertical-specific packages, ensuring product-market fit and appropriate pricing models.
- Product Strategy & Roadmap: Define with the team and execute the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the overall weather data API package portfolio, as well as what portion is made available via a sales-assisted versus via a self-serve purchasing and administration platform, aligning with business goals and customers' needs.
- API Package Product Management: Collaborate with science and forecasting operations (SFO) and the API platform engineering team to understand, maintain, define, and enhance a scalable, reliable, and secure weather data API package portfolio, ensuring high performance, low latency, and robust industry-leading documentation.
- Product Marketing: Partner with business leadership, sales, marketing, engineering, legal, compliance, and CRM / IT organizations to launch and enhance new marketing and developer websites, including self-service free trial, sales-assisted, and self-service purchasing, administration, and renewal experiences. Participate in thought leadership and new product launch strategies.
- Sales Assisted and Self-Serve Platforms: Drive the creation and ongoing optimization of sales assisted and self-serve platform flows that enable businesses and developers to easily discover and understand the full API package portfolio, trial a portion of that portfolio, and engage in a sales assisted or self-service buy, administer and renew of various basic and premium API packages, including features like API key management, usage analytics, and billing.
- Customer Journey Optimization: Drive the design and execution of the end-to-end product lifecycle—from customer discovery to trial, sale, and renewal—ensuring a frictionless journey and best-in-class developer experience.
- Sales & Systems Enablement: Ensure that sales and customer success teams understand the full API package product portfolio, including pricing models. Ensure that all systems, processes, and associated documentations are in place and maintained (CRM package product and pricing, API package technical provisioning, legal service descriptions, finance revenue recognition, marketing, and developer websites)
- API Marketplace Strategy: Partner with business leadership to evaluate and potentially execute strategies for API discovery, distribution, and monetization through marketplaces (e.g., AWS Marketplace, Snowflake, RapidAPI) and other direct enterprise channels.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with engineering, marketing, sales, customer success, and partner teams to align roadmap execution and go-to-market strategy.
- Experimentation & Innovation: Embrace a test-and-learn approach to rapidly experiment, validate concepts, and refine offerings based on data and user feedback.
- Market & Trend Analysis: Stay at the forefront of API trends, standards, protocols, and competitive landscape to inform product direction, identify new opportunities, and maintain a competitive edge.
- Metrics & Impact: Define and track KPIs to measure product adoption, customer engagement, API performance, and revenue impact.
