Description:
As a Technical Product Manager, you will:
- Explore problems worth solving—framing opportunities, gathering customer evidence, and producing concept documents that validate whether an idea is worth pursuing further.
- Lead discovery alongside Design and Engineering through customer interviews, competitive analysis, early feasibility checks, and lightweight experimentation to reduce uncertainty before committing resources.
- Shape validated ideas into well-defined work ready for delivery—owning PRDs, defining success metrics, supporting design validation, and collaboratively stack-ranking priorities with engineering leads.
- Support delivery by clarifying requirements as questions arise, incorporating beta testing and early adopter feedback, and ensuring shipped work aligns with the original problem framing.
- Contribute to roadmap areas within the Enterprise Automation and Platform Enablement portfolios, working across the FME Platform rather than a single product.
- Grow into ownership of a defined roadmap area, taking responsibility for its direction, prioritization, and outcomes over time.
- Partner with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Experience teams to prepare release communications and shape go-to-market messaging.
