You sit at the center of Product, Analytics, Data Engineering, and MarTech—turning business needs into clear requirements, coordinating delivery, and ensuring the end\-to\-end system runs reliably. Your focus is on stability, quality, and smooth execution of the established roadmap, while driving incremental improvements where they add clear value. **Job requirements** **Must\-have** * 5\+ years experience in technical product management, analytics engineering, data engineering, digital analytics, or similar—ideally in e\-commerce/marketplace environments. * Strong hands\-on understanding of web/app analytics and measurement design. * Strong understanding of ETL/ELT, transformation modeling, and the end\-to\-end lifecycle of data products. * Very good SQL skills and confidence working across complex, multi\-source data systems. * Proven ability to run roadmaps/backlogs, drive delivery, and align multiple teams. * Excellent communication skills and a strong sense of ownership—reliable in execution and comfortable coordinating across functions. **Nice\-to\-have** * Experience with tools like GA/Adobe Analytics, GTM (incl. server\-side), cloud/CMP/consent tooling, experimentation platforms, and modern data tooling (dbt, Airflow/Dagster, BigQuery/Snowflake/Databricks). * Experience implementing monitoring/data quality frameworks and data observability tooling. * Experience introducing AI productivity solutions responsibly (governance, access control, evaluation). **Job responsibilities** **1\) Product management \& ownership (continuity \& execution)** * Drive day\-to\-day product management for tracking and downstream datasets, ensuring reliable execution of the existing roadmap and priorities. * Track success metrics and operational targets (e.g., coverage, accuracy, latency/freshness, adoption, SLA/SLO), and ensure risks are visible early. * Write and refine requirements: epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and Definition of Done to support efficient delivery. * Support pragmatic decision\-making and trade\-offs across value, effort, risk, and compliance—keeping delivery moving and data trusted. **2\) Digital analytics tracking \& instrumentation (web/app)** * Maintain the established event taxonomy and measurement framework (events, parameters, conversions, funnels, identity signals). * Translate business outcomes into implementable tracking specs and coordinate rollout with Engineering. * Ensure consistent standards: naming conventions, reusable components, versioning, and controlled change management. * Safeguard tracking quality across releases through validation, testing, and structured rollout practices. **3\) MarTech measurement \& marketing data alignment** * Ensure continuity of measurement across the marketing stack (tags/pixels, server\-side tagging, campaign parameters, conversion APIs where applicable). * Maintain alignment of conversion and KPI definitions across Product Analytics and Marketing reporting to reduce metric drift and duplicated logic. * Coordinate with Growth/Marketing, Privacy/Legal, and Engineering to keep measurement compliant and effective. **4\) Data engineering delivery: transformation, ETL/ELT \& semantic modeling** * Coordinate delivery of curated datasets powering dashboards, experimentation, and deep\-dive analysis, including: + ingestion validation from tracking \+ MarTech sources + transformations (sessionization, identity stitching, channel grouping, conversion modeling) + semantic layers / metric standardization for self\-service BI * Maintain data contracts between tracking schemas and warehouse models and ensure changes are introduced safely. * Partner with Data Engineering to keep pipelines reliable, scalable, and cost\-efficient; support continuous improvements when needed. **5\) Monitoring, data quality \& incident management (operational excellence)** * Own observability practices across tracking and pipelines: completeness, freshness, anomaly detection, schema drift, and KPI sanity checks. * Lead incident handling end\-to\-end: triage, comms, coordination, RCA, post\-mortems, and prevention follow\-ups. * Keep runbooks and operational playbooks current; ensure transparent stakeholder updates and predictable processes. **6\) AI productivity \& automation (practical improvements)** * Drive pragmatic AI\-enabled improvements that reduce manual effort and increase reliability, such as: + automated tracking QA (event validation, regression detection, release gates) + AI\-assisted documentation (event catalog, metric definitions, change logs) + anomaly explanation and incident triage support + self\-service support for stakeholders (metric guidance, lineage/Q\&A) + automation for backlog hygiene and requirement drafting * Ensure AI features meet quality and compliance expectations: access controls, privacy, auditability, and evaluation criteria. **7\) Leadership, decision\-making \& ways of working** * Provide strong day\-to\-day leadership for the cross\-functional squad (tracking implementation \+ analytics engineering \+ MarTech interfaces). * Run effective delivery routines: prioritization, rituals, Definition of Ready/Done, quality gates, and communication cadence. * Drive timely decisions, unblock teams, manage dependencies, and keep multiple groups aligned. * Support a culture of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement. **8\) Stakeholder management \& communication** * Be the primary point of contact for Product Managers, Engineering leads, Analysts, Data Scientists, and Marketing stakeholders for tracking operations and delivery topics. * Communicate proactively: roadmap progress, release notes, known limitations, trade\-offs, and timelines. * Enable self\-service through training, office hours, and well\-maintained documentation (event catalog, KPI glossary, dataset guides). **What success looks like** * Tracking and datasets remain stable, trusted, and well\-documented, with strong monitoring and predictable operations. * Measurement changes are delivered smoothly through clear standards, testing, and disciplined change management. * Product and Marketing stay aligned on KPI definitions, enabling faster decisions and fewer reporting discrepancies. * The team saves time through focused automation (QA, documentation, triage), improving reliability and responsiveness. **Job benefits** Working at mobile.de comes with its perks!
