About The Position

As the Senior Product Manager, Connectivity, you will own the strategic direction and roadmap for how Redwood integrates with carriers, customers, and technology partners across the enterprise. Reporting directly to the CIO, you will lead the evolution of our connectivity capabilities across EDI, APIs, RPA, and modern integration platforms, partnering closely with Engineering, Architecture, Operations, Sales, and Delivery teams to improve how trading partners are onboarded, integrated, monitored, and supported.

Your role will be to bring product discipline to this complex, highly cross-functional landscape by establishing baseline metrics, identifying where standardization creates enterprise leverage, and defining a faster, more automated, measurable, and scalable partner onboarding capability. This is a highly visible, ownership role for a product leader who can turn ambiguity into structure, align stakeholders around a clear strategy, and help make connectivity a more reliable and scalable part of Redwood’s operating model.
