Group Product Manager, Industry Solutions

Inriver•Chicago, IL

About The Position

At Inriver, we help brands deliver better product experiences - everywhere their customers are. From the first product detail to the final purchase decision, we make product information work smarter. Now we're looking for a Group Product Manager, Industry Solutions to be our platform expert in front of customers and our voice for B2B Manufacturing back into Product. This is a hybrid role - part Sales Engineering, part Product Management, part Solution Architect - for someone who loves being close to customers and close to product decisions at the same time. You'll represent Inriver in customer conversations such as RFPs, check-ins and events, and you'll represent our Ideal Customer Profile, B2B Manufacturing, inside Inriver. You'll bring back what you hear, and you'll influence roadmaps across teams to act on it. In some cases that means shaping what dev teams build next. In others, it means building the answer yourself, configuring templates and solutions using the Inriver platform's own extensibility (including MCPs) to show what's possible, no dev resources required. This role reports to the SVP of Product Management.

Requirements

5-10 years of experience in a hybrid role spanning Sales Engineering, Product Management, or Solution Development, or strong exposure to more than one of these disciplines
Comfort presenting and demoing complex software to customers, from technical buyers to business stakeholders
A builder's mindset: you'd rather configure a working prototype than write a requirements doc about one
Experience within B2B Manufacturing
Familiarity with platform extensibility concepts (APIs, low-code configurators, MCPs, or similar), or eagerness to get hands-on with them
Strong communication skills: equally comfortable in an RFP response, a customer workshop, or a roadmap review
A collaborative mindset: you bring structure, curiosity, and follow-through

Nice To Haves

Willingness to travel occasionally for customer sites, team meet-ups and events

Responsibilities

Represent the Inriver platform in customer-facing settings - RFP processes, existing customer check-ins, events, and partner conversations
Deliver product demos that speak credibly to both business and technical stakeholders
Gather structured feedback from customers and partners, and translate it into clear input for Product Management
Build deep expertise in B2B Manufacturing as our ICP; their workflows, data challenges, and buying criteria
Influence roadmap priorities across product teams by bringing evidence, not just requests
Identify where customer needs can be met through configuration and templates rather than new development, and prototype those solutions yourself
Partner closely with Sales, Partner teams, Marketing, and Customer Success to keep the product story sharp and consistent
