Technical Product Manager - Hybrid
About the position Our client is looking for a highly technical Product Manager to drive roadmap and delivery of key services required to support our customer’s application journey and offer generation process. This role partners closely with Engineering Managers, who retain ownership of team execution, delivery planning, and people management, while this Product Manager owns feature definition, why they matter, and how they are prioritized across teams to meet measurable product and business outcomes. In this role, you will bridge the gap between business objectives and engineering implementation, focusing specifically on managing complex dependencies across multiple product teams. You will act as the "API" between product strategy and cross-team engineering execution, ensuring high-frequency, reliable releases.
Responsibilities
- Dependency Management & Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify, track, and manage cross-team dependencies to ensure on-time delivery of technical milestones. Surface priority trade-offs with options and key factors for decisions.
- Technical Roadmap Ownership: Work closely with the lead product manager to understand strategic goals, while owning prioritization and trade-offs for the cross-team technical roadmap.
- Bridge to Engineering: Partner with Engineering Managers and Tech Leads to shape and document architectural decisions, ensuring alignment with product outcomes and cross-team contracts.
- Data Standards: Partner with engineering and data teams to design, evolve, and govern data models that ensure consistent, well-structured, and well-documented data models that support scalable systems, analytics, and downstream consumers.
- Product Evangelism: Serve as the internal advocate for initiatives, articulating the "why" behind features to technical stakeholders and the “why” behind technical investments to non-technical stakeholders.
Requirements
- Experience: 2+ years of experience as a Product Manager, Technical Product Manager, Technical Program Manager, or development team member.
- Technical Fluency: Ability to understand system architecture, data pipelines, microservices, and contract design. While not required to code, you must be able to discuss technical tradeoffs with engineers.
