Program Manager of Data Team

Slack is a messaging app for teams that is on a mission to make your working life simpler, more pleasant, and more productive. We believe everyone deserves to work in a welcoming, respectful, and empathetic culture. We live by our values and hire accordingly.

At Slack, the Program Management team operates as a system of connectors ensuring the effective communication of risks, dependencies, priorities and program progress across the company. As the Program Manager of the Data team, you'll be working closely with Data Analysts, Product Managers, Marketers, and others across the organization to understand their needs and help prioritize those for the Data engineers. Conversely, you will also represent the Data team in requesting the prioritization of efforts to support their initiatives with those same teams. You will be the knowledge keeper for all things related to the Data program and will traffic all questions and requests.
