The Opportunity

OpenText Business Network is seeking a Principal Product Manager to drive delivery and continuous evolution of the Global E-Invoicing Framework (GF). This role focuses on translating regulatory and clients needs into product execution, strengthening scalable compliance patterns, and partnering closely with Development and cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality outcomes. The ideal candidate combines e-Invoicing domain knowledge, strong product execution discipline, and excellent communication skills in a global, matrixed environment. The role also contributes to AI-enabled product and process improvements, aligned with OpenText's AI-first direction.

What The Role Offers

• Own and drive execution for key components of the Global E-Invoicing Framework, including requirements definition, backlog management, and release readiness.
• Translate evolving regulatory mandates (e-Invoicing and e-reporting) into clear epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and testable requirements in partnership with Development and SMEs.
• Support country enablement planning (e.g., format requirements, validation rules, onboarding readiness), ensuring traceability from regulation > requirement > delivery > client readiness.
• Partner with Development to ensure quality, scalability, and reliability of GF capabilities; participate in design reviews and solution validation.
• Collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales, Professional Services, Support, and Customer Success to enable successful adoption, including documentation and field readiness materials.
• Act as a strong communicator and coordinator across distributed teams; drive alignment, manage dependencies, and support issue triage and prioritization.
• Contribute to KPI tracking and continuous improvement (adoption, quality signals, support trends) to inform prioritization and roadmap adjustments.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate requirements analysis, documentation, and issue triage; identify opportunities to apply AI within validation, anomaly detection, and exception handling to improve customer outcomes.

What You Need To Succeed

• 5+ years of product management experience delivering enterprise software; experience in regulated domains strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated knowledge of e-Invoicing and related compliance concepts (tax controls, invoice formats, country mandates, clearance models).
• Experience working with engineering teams on B2B integration, APIs (REST/SOAP), data validation, and high-reliability services is a plus.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to simplify complex regulatory topics for diverse audiences.
• Proven ability to work in a global, matrixed environment with cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, GTM, Professional Services, Support).
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast‑changing regulatory environments; strong execution discipline and attention to detail.
• Interest in AI and practical experience using AI tools to increase productivity (analysis, documentation, workflow automation) preferred.

Core Competencies

• Product execution and backlog ownership.
• Regulatory requirements translation and traceability.
• Cross-functional stakeholder management.
• Structured communication and alignment.
• Analytical mindset and KPI-driven prioritization.
• AI-enabled productivity and continuous improvement.
