Job description

As the Director of Product Management at OnLogic, you will play a key role in shaping the future of our product offerings. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Product Engineering, you will be responsible for guiding critical product strategies that influence both our company and our customers around the globe. You will work collaboratively with engineering, sales, marketing, and operations teams to ensure that our products meet market demands and drive successful outcomes.

We believe in the power of in‑person collaboration and the benefits of a strong workplace community. Therefore, this role requires an onsite presence at either our South Burlington, Vermont or Cary, North Carolina office. We encourage candidates who are able to relocate or comfortably commute to apply.

In this role, you'll be responsible for:

• Leading a team of product managers through effective mentorship to enhance their skills and career development.
• Identifying market opportunities and developing product strategies that align with the overall business objectives.
• Creating and maintaining a comprehensive product roadmap that reflects customer needs and market trends.
• Collaborating with engineering teams to ensure clarity on product specifications and requirements.
• Engaging with stakeholders across the organization to gather insights and feedback, enhancing the product lifecycle.
• Developing and executing go-to-market plans, working closely with marketing for effective product launches.
• Defining key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess product performance and iterate based on data-driven insights.
• Building relationships with customers and partners to better understand their challenges and needs.
• Staying informed on industry trends, competitor analysis, and technological advancements to maintain a competitive edge.

The team you will be joining:

Product management is the process of strategically directing every stage of the product lifecycle—from research and development to pricing and positioning—to build technically feasible products that fulfill both customer needs and business objectives. A famous quote from PM guru Martin Eriksson says product management is what happens "at the intersection between business, technology, and user experience." In short: product managers analyze business, technology, and customer needs, then define product solutions and guide a product team to deliver them. Product management is a cross‑functional role: effective product management involves cross‑functional communication with organizational stakeholders, including C‑level executives, engineering, marketing, sales, customer support, and supply chain.
