We are building something that has never existed before.

This greenfield initiative represents one of the largest technology investments in the company's history and will fundamentally reshape business operations for years to come.

We're looking for a Product Manager who is passionate about launching products that people actually use. This role sits at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Design, and Business Operations, ensuring new features are successfully introduced, adopted, and continuously improved.

If you enjoy working closely with users, translating business needs into product improvements, and helping organizations embrace new technology, this is an opportunity to make an enterprise-wide impact while helping define a product from the ground up.

What You'll Do

As a Product Manager, you'll own the successful rollout and adoption of new capabilities across our AI platform. You'll partner with engineering teams building the product while working directly with business leaders and end users to ensure every release delivers measurable value.

• Create documentation including user guides, release notes, FAQs, and training materials.
• Act as the product expert for business stakeholders, providing ongoing guidance and support.

Customer & Business Partnership

• Build strong relationships with business leaders and operational teams.
• Gather user feedback, identify pain points, and understand evolving business needs.
• Translate feedback into actionable product enhancements for Engineering.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner daily with Product, Engineering, Design, QA, AI/ML, and Operations teams.
• Participate throughout the product lifecycle, from planning and validation through launch.
• Help prioritize improvements based on customer impact and business value.

Continuous Improvement

• Monitor product adoption, usage trends, and customer feedback.
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, user experience, and operational efficiency.
• Measure product success using adoption metrics and user engagement.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in Product Management, Product Operations, Business Analysis, Customer Success, or similar customer-facing product roles.
• Experience launching software products or leading feature rollouts.
• Strong presentation and communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Experience gathering business requirements and translating them into clear product recommendations.
• Ability to build relationships across Engineering, Product, Operations, and executive stakeholders.
• Excellent organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Experience working with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Teams, or similar collaboration platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in Agile or Scrum environments.
• Familiarity with the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
• Experience creating release notes, user documentation, and training content.
• Understanding of UI/UX principles and user-centered product design.
• Experience measuring product adoption and using customer feedback to influence product direction.
• Experience supporting enterprise software or large-scale internal platforms.
