Job description

What's the role?

You will shape the platform that enables how HERE products are delivered, configured, and consumed at scale. This is not about building maps. It is about building the platform behind them.

In this role you operate at the intersection of platform and product, acting as the bridge between Automotive, Maps and Services, and Enterprise teams. You define how capabilities such as authentication, entitlements, billing, and usage scale across millions of requests and vehicles.

You will work on systems that decide what a customer can access, what they need to purchase, and how products are configured. From enabling an automotive customer to activate navigation features, to ensuring platform scalability for millions of vehicles, your work directly impacts how HERE products are used in the real world.

• Define and own platform requirements across Automotive, Maps and Services, and Enterprise
• Translate domain needs into clear product artefacts including PRDs, epics, and user stories

Who are you?

You are a senior product manager who thrives in complex environments with many stakeholders. You bring clarity where others see ambiguity and know how to move things forward without creating unnecessary friction.

You enjoy connecting teams, building relationships, and influencing outcomes. You understand both the product and technical side, and you know how to balance long‑term platform vision with immediate delivery needs.

• 10+ years of experience in product management within automotive, mapping, or platform products
• Strong understanding of automotive ecosystems, OEM environments, or location based platforms
• Experience working with large scale platforms, APIs, or distributed systems
• Proven track record of owning and driving complex product requirements across teams
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience working in international and cross‑functional environments

Nice To Have

• Experience with developer platforms, authentication, or API products
• Familiarity with billing, licensing, or entitlement systems
• Exposure to AI driven products or data platforms
• Experience working with automotive portals or customer facing platform interfaces
