Job description

Senior Product Manager, 3P Ecosystem, Occupant Experience

As Senior Product Manager, 3P Ecosystem, Occupant Experience, you will define and deliver custom GM infotainment app experiences in partnership with leading third-party companies. You will sit at the center of product vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution for a growing portfolio of in-vehicle app experiences spanning categories such as entertainment, streaming audio, video, and productivity. You will work cross-functionally across engineering, design, QA, PMO, business development, and partner teams to bring new experiences to market and continuously improve them over time.

You will help shape how third-party apps should come to life in a GM vehicle by understanding both evolving customer expectations and the unique capabilities of the car itself. The goal is not simply to bring more apps into the vehicle, but to define experiences that feel thoughtfully designed for the in-vehicle context and meaningfully better for customers. This is an exciting opportunity for a product manager who enjoys pairing strategic thinking with hands‑on delivery: someone who can define a compelling vision, translate it into a roadmap, influence across organizational boundaries, and help build a stronger long‑term 3P ecosystem for GM. Unless specifically stated otherwise, this role is "On‑Site" at the location detailed in the job post.
