The ideal candidate brings a strong combination of product leadership, customer engagement, and deep understanding of the AEC industry.

Support product launches and adoption initiatives through collaboration with go-to-market teams.

Advocate for innovation across infrastructure, engineering, and digital delivery workflows.

Required Skills & Experience

Proven experience owning product strategy, roadmap development, and execution.

Strong background working directly with customers and business stakeholders to define product direction.

Deep understanding of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, infrastructure markets, or related domains.

Experience translating customer needs, market opportunities, and business objectives into successful product initiatives.

Excellent communication, presentation, and executive stakeholder management skills.

Strong analytical and strategic thinking capabilities with experience leveraging customer insights and business metrics to drive decisions.

Demonstrated success leading cross-functional initiatives across Product, Engineering, and Go-to-Market organizations.

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

Experience within AEC, infrastructure engineering, construction technology, BIM, digital twins, asset lifecycle management, or related industries.

Experience bringing enterprise software products to market.

Understanding of cloud-based software platforms and data-driven product strategies.

Experience working with strategic customers and industry partners to influence product direction.

Pay Ranges from $180,000/yr-$200,000/yr.

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
