About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Work directly with clients to understand their business needs, constraints, and objectives and turn that information into concrete product requirements.
Translate those needs into a clear delivery plan : what will be built, in what order, by whom, and when.
Define and maintain the product roadmap with precise sequencing of features, dependencies, and timelines.
Work closely with Technical Project Managers (TPMs) to align on scope, priorities, handoffs, owners, and delivery expectations.
Break down large ideas into clear, actionable pieces of work that engineers and designers can execute on without ambiguity.
Make prioritization decisions based on business value, user impact, technical feasibility, capacity, and deadlines.
Partner with clients to clarify user flows, edge cases, behavior, and required interactions, ensuring the product is understandable and usable.
Partner with engineering to validate feasibility, adjust scope when needed, communicate tradeoffs, and keep delivery aligned and moving.
Communicate clearly with all stakeholders, keeping everyone aligned on what is coming next, what is being worked on now, and what has changed.
Review what ships, confirm it meets the intended need, gather feedback, and adjust future scope or sequencing accordingly.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of product management experience, ideally across multiple projects or domains.
A proven ability to turn business requirements into clear product direction: what we will build, in what order, and why.
Strong prioritization instincts - you can weigh value vs. effort, handle dependencies, and make tradeoffs that keep teams moving.
Experience writing clear product requirements, breaking work down, and defining the details needed for engineering and design to execute.
Strong collaboration skills with TPMs, architects, engineering - you understand their workflows and how to coordinate across them.
A practical, user-centered mindset: you think about how users experience the product, not just how it is built.
Excellent communication skills - structured, straightforward, and able to communicate decisions, context, and changes to any audience.
Comfort working in ambiguity, shaping clarity, and driving momentum in environments where not everything is defined upfront.
