OpportunityPerk (formerly TravelPerk) is building a new team of Data Product Partners to bridge the gap between business needs and complex data systems, ensuring our data assets are trustworthy, discoverable, impactful and truly solve user problems.

Role Overview

Data Product Partner (DPP). Core mandate: be the primary data consultant, fixer, strategist, and relationship manager for a specific business domain (e.g., Customer Care, Finance, Marketing, Revenue, Spend & Control, Travel). We are open to either Regular or Senior profiles.

Responsibilities

• Relationship Management and Strategy
  • Develop business data strategy and collaborate with leaders to define how data can drive their strategic goals, solve critical challenges, and uncover new opportunities.
  • Identify and qualify high‑impact use cases and data initiatives that generate maximum measurable value such as revenue increase, cost reduction, or efficiency gain.
  • Act as the primary translator across all disciplines, explaining the same concept in different terms to data team roles and executives.
  • Proactively manage expectations, define appropriate scope, and flexible roadmaps.
  • Develop product sense for data, anticipate common data quality issues, recognise when simpler solutions are better, and strategically say “no” to requests that compromise vision.
  • Publicise and amplify the work to drive adoption and learning from solutions.
  • Coach teams to self‑serve their preliminary investigations.
• Demand Shaping and Portfolio Management
  • Focus on defining what to build and why, ensuring the right things are built.

  • Oversee the pipeline of data projects, data products, and initiatives for the business unit.
  • Conduct value realisation tracking by monitoring and reporting actual business outcomes and ROI delivered by completed data projects.
• Ad‑Hoc Analysis, Triage & Intake Management
  • First line of response for data questions from the business and determine the right level of effort and ownership.
  • Conduct initial ad‑hoc analysis, including lightweight SQL queries, exploratory analysis in Looker, and quick validations or hypothesis testing.
  • Answer simple, time‑sensitive business questions directly, clarify the underlying problem and assess feasibility, data quality, and impact.
  • Triage and prioritise ad‑hoc requests, escalating to downstream teams when deeper work is required.
  • Identify recurring requests that indicate a gap in dashboards or data products and convert reactive work into scalable solutions.
• Consultation and Enablement
  • Provide data consulting: offer expert advice on data availability, methodology, and interpretation of insights.
  • Drive data literacy and adoption by coaching teams on how to integrate data into daily decision‑making.
  • Proactively surface observations, trends, or risks as actionable insights.
  • Bridge the data‑to‑action gap by ensuring insights are communicated, translated, and embedded into concrete business actions.
