The Opportunity
We are looking for a Principal Technical Product Manager to lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution of complex, technically sophisticated products and platforms.
This is a highly collaborative and hands-on role at the intersection of product, engineering, data, AI, and business strategy. You will translate ambiguous business and client needs into clear product direction while working closely with engineering and architecture teams to make informed technical and product trade-offs.
You will partner directly with Fortune 500 clients and internal technical leaders across cloud, data, and AI initiatives. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating at both the strategic and technical levels, able to define product vision and business outcomes while engaging deeply with engineers and architects on architecture, APIs, data, and delivery.
What You'll Do
Product Strategy & Ownership
-
Own the end-to-end product strategy, vision, roadmap, and execution for one or more technical product lines.
-
Lead products through the full lifecycle, from discovery and problem definition through development, launch, adoption, and continuous improvement.
-
Translate business objectives, customer needs, and technical capabilities into clear product requirements, user stories, and prioritized backlogs.
-
Define product goals, KPIs, and success metrics to measure adoption, performance, and business impact.
-
Make informed prioritization decisions and balance business value, technical complexity, customer needs, and delivery timelines.
Technical Product Leadership
-
Partner closely with engineering, architecture, data, and AI/ML teams to assess feasibility, sequence delivery, and resolve technical trade-offs.
-
Maintain a strong understanding of underlying technical architecture, including cloud platforms, APIs, data platforms, integrations, and AI/ML systems.
-
Participate in technical design discussions and confidently communicate with engineers and architects without requiring technical translation.
