We humanize technology by actively listening to our clients, crafting tailored proposals, and delivering on the promise of technology with precision and purpose.

We’re hiring a Principal Technical Product Manager to lead complex, cross-product initiatives and drive operational excellence across multiple product teams. You will be a key driver of alignment, execution, and continuous improvement - translating strategic direction into actionable plans, influencing stakeholders at all levels, and fostering best practices that elevate the entire product organization.

This is a senior individual contributor role for a seasoned product leader who thrives on solving complex challenges, mentoring peers, and enabling product success at scale.

• Influence and mentor product managers, engineers, and cross-functional partners to raise the bar on product management discipline and collaboration.
• Identify and lead improvements in product development processes, tooling, and documentation that enhance efficiency and consistency across teams.
• Partner closely with product leadership to translate high-level strategy into clear, actionable roadmaps and deliverables.

• Leverage customer insights, data analytics, and market feedback to drive iterative improvements and tactical decisions.
• Support go-to-market readiness by coordinating with sales enablement and marketing teams on launch plans and collateral.

What You’ll Deliver:

• Successful delivery of complex, multi-product initiatives that align with business goals and customer needs.
• Scalable processes, frameworks, and tooling improvements that enhance product execution and transparency across teams.
• A culture of mentorship and knowledge-sharing that strengthens product management capabilities company-wide.
• Clear, actionable roadmaps and prioritization frameworks that drive team focus and stakeholder confidence.
• Data-driven insights and feedback loops that inform ongoing product refinement and decision-making.
• Efficient coordination and execution of product launches with full cross-functional readiness.

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You:

• Have 8+ years of product management experience delivering complex technical products or portfolios.
• Are skilled at influencing and leading without formal authority across multiple teams and disciplines.
• Have a strong track record mentoring and elevating other product managers and contributors.
• Demonstrate expertise in managing cross-functional dependencies, risks, and trade-offs in fast-paced environments.
• Possess deep technical knowledge in data center services, cloud platforms, VDI, cybersecurity, or related fields.
• Excel at translating ambiguity into clarity and driving operational excellence at scale.
• Are highly organized, communicative, and adept at managing competing priorities with poise.
• Use Jira, Confluence, and other collaboration tools to streamline product planning and execution.
  

Bonus Points:

• Familiarity with Pragmatic Institute or ProductOps Alliance methodologies.
• Experience improving product management practices and tooling across multiple teams.
