About The Position

We’re seeking a passionate and experienced Product Manager to join our Engineering Experience and Enablement team (EXE). EXE is dedicated to accelerating efficient software delivery at Principal by providing technology teams with a delightful experience in which to build. This product role is central to shaping and advancing our evolving product family as we expand to support an AI-native product delivery life cycle. The work includes enabling Product delivery teams and AI agents to invoke trusted, Principal-specific expertise inside the tools where work happens. It also means defining the experience, contribution model, quality bar, publishing path, and feedback signals that make our expertise discoverable, reliable, and valuable across the enterprise product delivery life cycle.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
Drive Discovery & Insights: Use experimentation, analytics, and user research to uncover opportunities and prioritize high-value initiatives.
Own Product Strategy: Collaborate with technical and delivery leads to develop and evolve the product vision, strategy, and roadmap.
Measure & Optimize: Track product performance, make data-driven decisions, and continuously evolve the product to meet enterprise needs.
Engage & Influence: Partner with leaders across technology spaces as stakeholders, advocates, and users of EXE products to advance the EXE vision.
Mentor & Shape Culture: Support and mentor other product managers, sharing best practices to foster a strong, high-performing product culture.
We are looking for individuals who are excited to serve Principal’s technology teams and create an environment where teams can build great products for our customers—and enjoy their work doing it. If you’re passionate about people, technology, and the opportunity to make trusted expertise easier to find, apply, and improve through AI-enabled experiences, we’d love to have you join us.
