You will define the scope and product approach for your initiatives, connect them to the broader strategy, and work with cross-functional teams to deliver meaningful customer and business outcomes. This is a strong fit for a product manager who can independently turn customer, business, and technical inputs into actionable plans, while seeking direction when priorities or trade-offs require alignment.

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle for a medium-sized product area and/or multiple complex initiatives across Activix , from discovery and definition through launch, measurement, and iteration.
• Define initiative strategy, scope, roadmap priorities, and success metrics, ensuring work fits the broader Activix and AutoSync product strategy.
• Manage a varied portfolio of projects and features, balancing near‑term delivery needs with customer value, business impact, dependencies, and technical feasibility.
• Use customer feedback, product data, market context, and stakeholder input to identify opportunities, frame problems, and make informed product trade‑offs.
• Translate needs into clear product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, and delivery‑ready documentation.
• Partner closely with engineering, design, QA, and cross‑functional teams such as sales, marketing, legal, operations, and support to align stakeholders and move work forward.
• Lead refinement, planning, reviews, demos, launch readiness, and post‑launch follow‑up; proactively surface risks, dependencies, decisions, and changes in scope.
• Drive experiments, pilots, and iterative improvements where appropriate , using results and learnings to refine the product approach.
• Communicate product plans, progress, decisions, and outcomes clearly to delivery teams and stakeholders; contribute to product reporting and continuous improvement of team practices.

What you'll bring

• 2-4 years of product management experience, ideally in SaaS, e-commerce, marketplaces, or other customer‑facing digital products.
• Demonstrated experience owning product features or initiatives from discovery through delivery, with measurable customer or business impact.
• Strong ability to independently dive into customer insights and data, frame solution options, and make practical trade‑off decisions.
• Experience defining strategy and scope for a product feature, product area, or complex set of initiatives within a broader product direction.
• Hands‑on experience working closely with engineering and design teams in an agile product development environment.
• Hands‑on experience using Jira and similar product‑management tools to manage backlogs, prioritize work, and communicate delivery progress.
• Confidence translating ambiguity into clear requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery plans; sound judgment about when to seek input or escalation.
• Strong stakeholder‑management and communication skills, with the ability to lead cross‑functional discussions, keep teams aligned, and track progress across dependencies.
• A customer‑focused, analytical, action‑oriented mindset and the ability to ramp quickly into an existing product area during a fixed‑term engagement.

Nice to Have

• Experience in automotive, automotive retail, dealer technology, or a complex multi‑sided platform environment.
• Experience using product analytics and experimentation tools to assess performance, inform prioritization, and identify opportunities for improvement.
