Job Description

Headquarters:

We're looking for a Product Manager to own roadmap, prioritization, and delivery for a digital product initiative, operating within Agile/Scrum frameworks. The role sits at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution - most engagements in this market are technical-delivery-adjacent (software, data, or AI products) rather than purely strategic, so comfort partnering closely with engineering is expected.

Key Responsibilities

- Own the product backlog, prioritization, and roadmap using Agile/Scrum practices

- Translate business and stakeholder needs into clear epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria

- Partner closely with engineering teams to scope, sequence, and deliver iteratively

- Define and track success metrics/KPIs for the product area

- Facilitate or support Agile ceremonies (backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews) alongside a Scrum Master where applicable

- (Common variant, ~1 in 5 postings) Own AI/Agentic feature delivery - defining how GenAI or agentic capabilities integrate into the product

- (Common variant, ~1 in 7 postings) Operate as a Technical PM - comfortable in architecture/API-level discussions, not just business requirements

- (Frequent industry context) CPG/enterprise data-product ownership - managing data platforms, catalogs, or analytics products feeding business stakeholders

Required Skills (Must-Have)

- Agile Product Management - backlog ownership, iterative delivery, Scrum/Kanban fluency

- Proven Product Manager, Product Owner, or Technical PM experience

- Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration (engineering, data, business)

- Ability to translate ambiguous business needs into structured, actionable product requirements

Nice to Have

- AI/GenAI or Agentic product experience (increasingly common - nearly 1 in 5 current postings)

- Data product management experience (catalogs, analytics platforms, BI)

- CPG, enterprise, or regulated-industry domain...
