About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own and shape product direction for key shared elements of GM’s in-vehicle experience platform
Define and evolve product requirements for core system UI capabilities, interaction patterns, and cross-surface experiences that span multiple displays and input modalities
Partner closely with platform PM, design, and engineering counterparts to ensure shared foundations are scalable, usable, and flexible enough to support multiple vehicle programs and brand expressions
Help drive clarity on what should be standardized at the platform level versus where intentional variation is required by vehicle, segment, or brand
Contribute to the long-term experience architecture for the digital cockpit, including how information, controls, system behaviors, and customer touchpoints work together across the vehicle
Represent the in-vehicle experience in partnership with vehicle programs to ensure the hardware and digital product come together cohesively
Work across vehicle programs and segments to translate shared platform capabilities into complete customer experiences that feel integrated across screens, controls, cabin architecture, and key moments of use
Ensure product decisions account for the full customer experience, not just what appears on screen — including the relationship between display layout, physical controls, cabin context, and driver or passenger expectations
Partner with vehicle teams to identify where program-specific needs should inform platform evolution, and where platform consistency should be preserved
Act as a product DRI across your scope, driving alignment and execution with Design, Engineering, Program Management, and vehicle stakeholders
Represent product decisions in leadership reviews, design reviews, and cross-functional working sessions
Work within GM’s vehicle development cadence, aligning product requirements, experience decisions, design maturity, and software milestones with program timing
Identify and manage risks across platform, software, hardware, and vehicle dependencies
Balance tradeoffs across customer value, brand expression, technical feasibility, regulatory requirements, and delivery timing
Use customer research, market analysis, competitive benchmarking, and product intuition to shape the in-vehicle experience strategy
Help define what great looks like for future in-vehicle experiences across areas such as personalization, voice interaction, driver-assistance UX, system intelligence, and display experiences.

Requirements

What you’ll need

7–10+ years of product management experience leading large-scale, complex software or connected products
Proven ability to own a product domain end to end, from vision and strategy through execution, launch, and iteration
Experience operating across the full PM stack: product vision, roadmap, requirements, prioritization, decision-making, and delivery
Strong judgment in balancing near-term execution with long-term platform and product strategy
4–6+ years working on platform-level or multi-surface products spanning multiple displays, form factors, device types, or interaction surfaces
Strong understanding of how system UI frameworks, interaction models, and design systems enable consistent experiences across diverse hardware
Comfort with hardware-software integration tradeoffs, including display constraints, rendering performance, input modalities such as touch, voice, and physical controls, and responsive or adaptive layout challenges
Experience helping define system behaviors, information architecture, content hierarchy, notifications, or shared UX patterns at scale
Demonstrated ability to connect platform capabilities to complete customer experiences rather than optimizing only isolated features
Experience working across software, hardware, design, and delivery teams to bring integrated products to market
Ability to evaluate product decisions in context — considering the relationship between interface behavior, physical environment, customer expectations, and business intent
5–7+ years leading cross-functional delivery across engineering, design, program management, and operations in complex environments
Track record shipping multi-surface or multi-product experiences from concept through launch and post-launch iteration
Ability to navigate cross-team dependencies and drive alignment across platform, software, and product stakeholders
4–6+ years leveraging customer research, market analysis, and competitive intelligence to inform product strategy and prioritization
Demonstrated ability to synthesize qualitative and quantitative insights into clear product direction and to establish measurement where it does not yet exist
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft clear, persuasive narratives for executive and cross-functional audiences.
A hands-on, high-accountability mindset with a strong instinct to collaborate deeply and raise the bar for product quality and PM craft.
