1d•$130,000 - $160,000

About The Position

We're looking for experienced Product Management leaders to help our clients define, build, launch, and improve digital products that create meaningful business and customer value. From advisory engagements to large-scale digital transformation efforts, our team partners with organizations to shape product strategy, modernize product management practices, and deliver measurable business outcomes. We help clients leverage AI, emerging technologies, and proven product management best practices to build stronger product organizations and accelerate delivery. In this role, you’ll do more than maintain a roadmap or manage a backlog. You’ll work with business leaders, customers, design, research, data, engineering, operations, and other stakeholders to identify the right problems, evaluate tradeoffs, establish priorities, and deliver products that achieve measurable outcomes.

Ability to partner with discovery teams and turn customer, research, design, and data insights into product decisions.
A business-minded, technically fluent approach, with familiarity with APIs, integrations, data flows, platforms, cloud environments, and software delivery.
Ability to balance product outcomes with delivery quality, stakeholder alignment, and team execution.
High self-awareness, openness to feedback, and accountability for client, product, and team outcomes.
Strong individual delivery is assumed.
Ability to lead others, raise standards, and make complex work easier for the team and client to navigate.
Comfortable setting high but realistic standards for quality, communication, problem-solving, and follow-through.
Ability to stay composed under pressure and help teams remain focused during complex, fast-moving, or high-stakes situations.
Strong team orientation, including a willingness to coach others, share knowledge, and contribute to a positive team environment.
Ability to adapt when priorities change, timelines shift, stakeholder expectations evolve, or client needs become more complex.
Sound judgment when making decisions, escalating issues, resolving conflicts, and balancing client needs, team dynamics, delivery risks, and Torq’s standards.
Ability to create trust with clients and teammates through reliability, professionalism, candor, and follow-through.
Ability to model strong consulting behaviors and help others understand what good looks like.
Ability to identify client pain points, future needs, new initiatives, renewal opportunities, or areas where Torq can provide additional support.
Comfortable building relationships with stakeholders beyond the immediate project team, including senior leaders and decision-makers.
Ability to contribute to proposals, sales conversations, solutioning discussions, client presentations, and account growth strategies.
Strong client presence, including the ability to build credibility through delivery, communication, judgment, and genuine partnership.
