Product Manager, ASTRO P25 RF Sites
About The Position
The RF Site Product Manager will lead the process responsible for the vision, strategy, roadmap, and feature definition for assigned RF Site products including closely interfacing with customers and internal stakeholders. The product manager is the person responsible for defining the ‘why’, ‘what,’ ‘where’, and ‘when’ of the products that the development team will build. They are the owner of their product -- which means they lead cross-functional teams from a product's conception through to its launch. The product manager should possess deep industry expertise necessary to analyze market and competitive conditions and lay out a product vision that is differentiated and delivers unique value based on customer demands. The role of the product manager spans many activities from strategic to tactical and provides cross-functional leadership — bridging gaps within the company between different functions, especially between development, sales, marketing, support and finance.
