FamilySearch Tech Product Manager 2 - (Lehi, UT)
About The Position
We are seeking a Technical Product Manager II (TPM 2) to own product outcomes in technically complex areas of the product, working at the intersection of business needs, user value, and engineering realities. This role is ideal for a product manager who is comfortable engaging deeply with technical concepts and systems while maintaining strong product judgment and user focus. As a TPM 2, you will partner closely with engineering and design to lead discovery and delivery for moderately complex initiatives involving platforms, integrations, data flows, APIs, or legacy systems. You will develop a solid understanding of how the product works end‑to‑end, assess technical tradeoffs, and help the team make informed decisions that balance user outcomes, scalability, performance, and maintainability. You are expected to independently drive problem definition, clarify requirements at the appropriate level, and use data, experimentation, and customer insight to validate decisions. In this role, you collaborate effectively with engineers, communicate clearly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders, and contribute to improving how the team builds and operates products. Success in this role requires growing technical fluency, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to influence through clarity, evidence, and trust. Technical Product Manager IIs are reliable owners of outcomes within their scope and are developing the depth and systems thinking needed for more senior technical product leadership roles. We value early, mid and late-career candidates and encourage all applicants with the posted skills and abilities to apply.
