About The Position

As a Senior Product Manager for Solution Design within the Partner Ecosystem Solution Development team, you will own the design and definition of partner-led solutions built jointly with strategic technology partners. You will translate partner and market needs into clear requirements and technical designs, recommend which solutions enter and advance through the incubation pipeline, and shape the technical form of each joint solution alongside partner product and engineering teams. You sit at the intersection of product, technology, and partnerships, turning ambiguous partner opportunities into validated, buildable, commercially sound solution designs. This role helps determine what we build with our partners and why. You will work cross-functionally with Product Management, Partners & Alliances, Solution Development, Market Development, and Solution Delivery to ensure each solution is technically sound, aligned to market demand, and ready to scale.
