Requirements

Minimum of 8 years of experience in product management, defining, launching, and iterating on impactful SaaS and/or cloud-based enterprise software products.
Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline such as Business, Computer Science, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience leading cross-team collaboration, effectively working with and influencing engineering, design, and product leadership to define and deliver complex product features and platform strategies.
Demonstrated ability to drive business influence across product teams and with senior partners, building alignment and support for product initiatives through compelling business cases and cross-organizational relationships.
Customer advocacy. You deeply understand and represent customer needs in product strategy and decisions. You drive customer-centricity throughout the product lifecycle by synthesizing diverse feedback, engaging with customer-facing teams, and ensuring the platform delivers meaningful outcomes for the people who use it.
Customer empathy. You proactively seek to understand customer pain points and translate them into impactful product solutions and improved user experiences. You go beyond surface-level feedback to uncover underlying needs and use those insights to shape product direction.
Data analysis. You are comfortable working with usage data, system telemetry, and analytical tools to derive actionable insights for product strategy and prioritization. You measure success with evidence and communicate data-driven recommendations clearly to partners and leadership.
Decision making in complex environments. You are skilled at making deliberate product and technical trade-offs, balancing user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility. You apply structured decision-making frameworks, assess risk, and communicate decisions with clear rationale - especially when navigating competing priorities with long-term implications.
Domain knowledge. You have a deep understanding of the enterprise platform and SaaS landscape, including relevant trends, the broader market, user behavior, and emerging technologies that shape the future of intelligent, agent-ready experiences.
Research-informed product thinking. You lead research efforts to inform product strategy, identify opportunities, and understand user behavior, using a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods to build conviction behind your roadmap decisions.
Stakeholder management at scale. You can articulate the value of platform and infrastructure investments to diverse audiences. You have experience managing a wide range of partners with competing needs - including high-priority application teams, enterprise customers, and executive sponsors funding multi-release investments. You manage expectations with transparency and maintain trust across the organization.
Developing strategic perspective. You contribute to and help shape the long-term vision and direction of the product portfolio. You identify potential opportunities through market analysis, scenario planning, and a deep understanding of how platform investments create compounding value across the enterprise.
Clear communication. You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt your style for technical and non-technical audiences alike. You manage expectations and maintain trust even when platform priorities require saying "not yet" to one partner while accelerating another.
