Product managers are responsible for what we call a product portfolio. Product portfolios can be as big as grow your monthly active users and as tactical as improve this single conversion flow in this single product. Most of those platform kind of specific things are things like improving the productivity across the entire company.
Data gets accessed and used in an organization through a variety of different tools (be they built, bought, or both). That work can be quick and smooth, or it can be tedious and time-consuming. What can make the difference, in modernspeak, is the specifics of the "data products" and "data platforms" being used for those tasks. Those specifics, in turn, often fall on the shoulders of (data) product managers!
