VP, Data Product and Operations

Why this role matters

At CB Insights, we deliver predictive intelligence on private companies.

Corporate strategy, corporate VC, and business development leaders at the world's most innovative companies trust us to see their next move first.

In public markets, leaders have Bloomberg. In private markets - where the future is built - they're flying blind.

Our platform changes that. It surfaces hidden signals about critical market shifts, uses AI agents to build board-ready outputs, and delivers it all into the apps our customers use every day.

The foundation of this system is our data. Non-public and hard-to-get data about private companies, their investors, customers, leaders, and competitors, validated and organized into markets, with proven algorithms that predict future events.

We're looking for a world-class leader to scale it.

Your impact

As Vice President, Data Product & Operations, you'll own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for our portfolio of datasets and algorithms. You will lead the teams responsible for identifying new datasets, growing current ones, and building predictive models.

You will :

• Set and execute for what data we collect, how we collect it, and what predictions we build on top.
• Lead a global team of 100+ across data product management, data stewardship, survey research, and data extraction.
• Drive rigorous operational excellence to improve coverage, quality, and freshness across data about millions of companies, markets, deals, people and more.
• Develop creative and scalable strategies for data acquisition across direct contribution, AI-driven extraction, and partnerships.
• Partner with Data Science and Engineering to build models that power customer-facing use cases such as predicting future valuations or chances to IPO.
• Champion the use of AI to achieve 10x productivity improvements and unlock new capabilities previously out of reach.
• Partner with Product Marketing to shape the go-to-market strategy for our data, framing its positioning, pricing, packaging, and differentiation.
