Job summary

Phenom is seeking a Principal Product Manager to drive the strategy and development of reusable platform capabilities powering multiple products in the talent lifecycle. This integrator role focuses on turning customer and product needs into shared, well-governed components, with a hands-on emphasis on AI-driven solutions and platform primitives.

You will partner with engineering to deliver reliable, scalable capabilities, engage with enterprise customers, and establish governance and success

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management experience in SaaS, with meaningful time owning platform, infrastructure, or shared-component product areas.
• A demonstrated track record of building reusable platform capabilities that other product teams adopted and built on — not just shipping standalone features.
• Experience with intelligence layers, workflow automation, or AI agents is a strong plus, but not required.
• A track record of building and shipping AI-powered products — from early prototypes through production scale.
• Deep comfort partnering with highly technical teams on backend or platform systems, and the technical fluency to earn their trust.

Responsibilities

• Identify opportunities across Phenom's product suite where building a shared, reusable capability creates more leverage than solving the problem locally.
• Own the strategy and roadmap for one or more core platform components, defining extensibility patterns, governance, and integration contracts that other teams rely on.
• Partner closely with engineering to deliver capabilities that are reliable, scalable, and secure enough to power multiple products simultaneously.
• Work across product teams company-wide to drive adoption of platform capabilities and resolve tension between platform consistency and individual product needs.
• Engage directly with enterprise customers and technical admin users to balance flexibility with the guardrails large organizations require.
• Prototype and validate new capabilities — particularly AI-driven ones — from early concept through production, with a bias toward fast, low-cost validation.
• Define success metrics that tie platform investment to measurable adoption and business impact.
• Establish governance standards that keep shared components trustworthy and consistent as usage scales
