Job Level
About the role
- Own and maintain the platform services roadmap, translating operating company needs and architectural standards into a strategic sequencing of platform capabilities.
- Serve as the primary product interface between the platform team and operating company engineering and product leaders, managing competing priorities across multiple business units.
- Build and run the agile planning process by which operating companies request platform capabilities, ensuring requests are prioritized consistently against the roadmap and strategic priorities.
- Own the developer experience end-to-end: documentation, API references, getting-started guides, onboarding programs, developer relations, and feedback loops that drive platform adoption and surface unmet needs back to the platform engineering team.
- Define and track platform success metrics that quantify the value the platform delivers to operating companies and the business.
Requirements
- 15+ years in product management, with at least 8 years focused on platform, infrastructure, or developer tools products and at least 5 years in a leadership role.
- Demonstrated experience serving multiple business units or product lines from a shared platform, with a track record of navigating multi-stakeholder prioritization.
- Proven ownership of developer experience and adoption programs — documentation, developer relations, onboarding — with measurable adoption outcomes.
- Strong technical fluency; able to engage meaningfully with engineers on API design, system architecture, and infrastructure decisions.
- Experience with AI-assisted software delivery practices and an understanding of how they accelerate product development workflows.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence across organizational boundaries — from executive presentations to engineering working sessions to operating company stakeholder alignment.
