About The Position

Bentley is creating an open platform for the built and natural environment to empower software developers to build digital twin experiences. The Principal Product Manager will join Bentley’s Platform team and serve as a liaison and advocate for Bentley Infrastructure Cloud (BIC), building collaborative relationships based on authenticity, trust, and mutual success. The role connects Platform’s broad-use, low-level APIs with BIC as the data platform for infrastructure design, construction, and operations.

Combining product management with technical business development, the position brings Platform and Infrastructure Cloud experts together to address customer needs. It translates Infrastructure Cloud requirements into actionable Platform product requirements, supports decisions about which capabilities belong in Platform versus first-party products, and manages Platform products and services that align closely with Infrastructure Cloud. The role is hybrid, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with an in-office schedule of three days per week, and requires frequent travel and time-zone management as part of a global team.
