About the role

From the spark of an idea to development to launch to retirement, the lifecycle of a product can take many complicated twists and turns. It takes a business savvy, technically proficient, and collaborative problem solver to manage through the different phases.

As our new senior product manager, you will drive product strategies, roadmaps, and requirements. You will incorporate customer, industry, and technology information into decisions that deliver outcomes in support of company objectives. You won't do this alone as Product is a team sport. You will provide clarity and focus as you lead a cross-functional, matrixed team to deliver measurable results.

To succeed, you'll need to maintain a customer focus, partner across divisions, communicate across stakeholders, and execute strategy. You'll build relationships with leaders across all divisions as you gain business context and an understanding of our technology landscape. You'll contribute your software product management expertise to accelerate business value delivery and evolve SAIF's Product division.

If you are energized by delivering meaningful solutions to customers and are passionate about building modern product practices, we encourage you to apply.

We will be hosting a virtual career exploration meeting on Friday, November 13th at 2pm. If you are interested in attending, please sign up here.
