Principal Product Manager, Experimentation & Digital Analytics
Job Description
Lead GEICO’s experimentation and digital analytics platforms, scaling self-service rigor and data-driven decisions across teams.
Responsibilities
- Own product vision, strategy, and roadmap for GEICO experimentation and digital analytics platforms, aligned to growth, retention, and digital transformation goals
- Drive adoption of experimentation and digital analytics tools across product, design, engineering, marketing, and analytics teams; reduce friction and strengthen trust in platform outputs
- Enable teams to self-service and automate experiment design, instrumentation, execution, analysis, and reporting to replace manual or ad hoc workflows
- Define and evolve experimentation standards and governance including statistical methodology, sample size and power, metric definitions, guardrail metrics, and peer review to support causally sound decisions
- Partner with data science, engineering, and analytics leaders to design architecture, instrumentation strategy, and measurement pipelines for scaled experimentation and analytics
- Lead cross-functional delivery across the product lifecycle for platform capabilities, from concept through launch and iteration
- Conduct user research with platform users (product managers, analysts, data scientists, engineers) to surface friction points and unmet needs and identify high-leverage improvements
- Prioritize initiatives using user feedback, business impact, and technical feasibility, including making trade-off decisions
- Own product development execution: define requirements, manage backlog, and support timely, high-quality releases
- Set north-star metrics and KPI trees for platform health and impact (experiment velocity, coverage, time-to-insight, adoption, decision quality) and continuously monitor and iterate
- Build a company-wide culture of experimentation and data-driven decision making via enablement, training, evangelism, and demonstrated business outcomes
- Collaborate with stakeholders to align on platform strategy, prioritization, and investment
- Identify options and recommendations, working through trade-offs to remove impediments
- Oversee rollout planning and segmentation of user needs across teams to promote adoption and best practices
- Partner with Data & Technology to influence end-state architecture and deliver secure, resilient, performant, scalable platform solutions that address material customer and business problems
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering) strongly preferred
- 10+ years of product management experience with significant ownership of platform, tools, or data/analytics products used broadly across an organization
- Experience building, scaling, or leading an experimentation program or platform (for example: A/B testing infrastructure, feature flagging, causal measurement) at meaningful scale
- Strong analytical and statistical foundation with hands-on experimental design and statistical inference (hypothesis testing, statistical power, confidence intervals, false discovery/positive control, variance reduction)
- Demonstrated ability to drive adoption of self-service tools and measurably increase velocity and decision quality across teams
- Strong quantitative background with hands-on analysis of large datasets and causally grounded decisions
- Leadership strengths to influence stakeholders and inspire cross-functional teams without direct authority
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, able to explain complex statistical and technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience with Agile and tools such as JIRA or Azure DevOps
- Passion for innovation, continuous learning, and driving positive change
Technologies
- JIRA
- Azure DevOps
- SQL
- Python
- R
Benefits
- Competitive pay, benefits, and flexibility to support your well-being and future
- Personalized development programs, mentorship, and certification assistance
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Statistics, Economics, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field
- Direct experience owning or building an experimentation or digital analytics platform (feature flagging and rollout systems, A/B testing platforms, session replay/behavioral analytics tools, or internal frameworks; commercial or homegrown)
- Deep expertise in causal inference and applied statistics (power analysis, sequential testing, variance reduction such as CUPED, heterogeneous treatment effects, quasi-experimental methods such as difference-in-differences or synthetic controls)
- Experience defining and evolving experimentation governance (metric standards, guardrails, peer review processes, and centers of excellence)
- Hands-on fluency in SQL, Python, and/or R, plus experience defining instrumentation and event schemas for digital analytics
- Experience with digital behavioral analytics tools (clickstream, session replay, funnel and journey analysis) and connecting quantitative insight to qualitative customer understanding
- Experience building enablement programs, training curricula, or centers of excellence to scale a data-driven or experimentation culture across a large organization
- Experience in insurance, financial services, or another highly regulated industry
- Familiarity with model evaluation, monitoring, and experimentation practices for ML-driven or personalization systems
- MBA, MS, or technical degree a plus
Hybrid Position Requirements
- Hybrid role requiring on-site presence 2-3 days per week at one of the following locations: Palo Alto, CA; Seattle, WA; Bethesda, MD
