Lead Product Manager, Analytics & Integrations
Deputy
Product, Data Science
Sydney, NSW, Australia
The Role
A senior IC role with two intersecting mandates:
Own Deputy Analytics — the strategy, roadmap, and delivery for our reporting and analytics platform, including the Analytics+ paid add-on. From the data model underneath to the reports customers run every day, this is yours end-to-end.
Own our strategic integrations — the partnerships and platform surfaces that connect Deputy to the systems our customers depend on. You'll set the technical and product direction for how Deputy integrates, and protect the reliability of those integrations as they scale.
You'll be hands-on with the technical platforms underneath both surfaces — reading API contracts, sketching data flows, debugging reconciliation issues — and pair that depth with the strategic product thinking to grow adoption of Analytics+ and shape where the integration portfolio goes next.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end strategy and roadmap for Deputy Analytics and our strategic integrations, balancing platform investment against customer-visible delivery.
- Drive continued adoption and growth of Analytics+, from positioning and packaging through to the feature work that converts free users and retains paid ones.
- Establish and evolve the analytics platform foundations — data model, APIs, and the primitives that everything else in reporting is built on.
- Set the bar for integration quality and reliability, reducing support load and turning integration health into something the business can trust and sell against.
- Get hands-on with the technical detail: read API docs, sketch data flows, reason about idempotency and reconciliation, and debug customer-reported discrepancies without an engineer riding shotgun.
- Partner with Sales, CS, and Solutions as the definitive internal voice on what Analytics and our integrations can do today, what's coming, and what belongs on the roadmap.
- Own product integrity for both surfaces — when a report doesn't reconcile or an integration drifts, you find the root cause and decide the fix.
- Influence product decisions across other squads where Analytics or integrations are downstream — close enough to give meaningful input, senior enough that it carries weight.
Skills & Experience
- Genuine technical depth — can read API docs, sketch a data flow and debug a customer-reported discrepancy without an engineer riding shotgun.
- Platform and integration product experience — shipping in environments where reliability, backwards compatibility, and partner contracts matter as much as the next feature.
- Analytics, BI, or reporting product experience — you've shipped products where the unit of value is a report, a dashboard, or a dataset, and you understand what makes them trusted and usable.
- Monetisation instinct — comfortable owning a paid surface — packaging, conversion, retention — not just the feature work behind it.
- Enterprise-grade craft — running customer calls with technical buyers, navigating security and compliance review, and protecting product quality through complex commitments.
- Excellent writing — reducing multi-system problems into something a sales rep, CSM, or customer admin can act on.
- Cross-PM credibility — the judgement and presence to influence decisions inside other squads where Analytics or integrations are a dependency.
- Leadership without authority — mentoring PMs and raising the craft standard around you.
- Strongly preferred: WFM, HCM, payroll, or HR fintech background; prior role shipping analytics, BI, or reporting products; prior role shipping integrations, platform, or API products; comfort working across time zones with US and global counterparts.

Success in this role
- Analytics+ adoption is growing on a curve the business can plan against, with a clear, evidence-backed view of what drives conversion and retention.
- Active usage and retention of Analytics — both free and paid — is trending up, and we know which reports and workflows matter most to customers.
- The analytics platform has foundations the next several years of product work can be built on: a data model, APIs, and primitives that other squads reach for instead of reinventing.
- Integration-related support load is materially down, and integration reliability is something the business can trust, sell against, and renew on.
- You're recognised across the org as the decision-maker on Analytics and Integrations questions, and as someone who's lifted the PMs around you.
