Role summary

OBM is seeking a Product Manager to lead the direction and execution of internal platforms. Reporting to the VP of Technology, this role bridges business needs with engineering efforts, defining priorities and ensuring measurable value delivery. The Product Manager will collaborate with engineers, designers, data teams, and stakeholders, with scope expected to grow. Key responsibilities include serving as product owner, developing long-term vision and near-term roadmaps, uncovering needs through user and stakeholder input, prioritizing the backlog, writing clear requirements, partnering with UX/UI and data teams for feature validation and analysis, and communicating product strategy across the organization.

About the role

OBM is looking for a Product Manager to own the direction and day-to-day execution of the established

internal platforms our teams and customers depend on. Reporting to the VP of Technology, you'll

connect what the business needs with what our software engineers/developers build, deciding what

matters most, defining what "done" looks like, and making sure each release delivers measurable value.

You'll work alongside software engineers/developers, our UX/UI Designer, our data team, and

stakeholders across the company. As new products and spin-offs take shape, your scope is expected to

grow with them.

What you'll do

  • Serve as product owner for an established internal platform, quickly building a working knowledge of its users, history, and technical landscape so you can guide its next stage
  • Contribute to OBM's long-term product vision while owning the near-term roadmap and the decisions that move it forward
  • Uncover customer and business needs through user conversations, stakeholder input, and insights from the data team
  • Prioritize the backlog with clear, well-reasoned trade-offs about what to build now, what to defer, and what not to build at all
  • Write clear requirements and acceptance criteria, keep them stable once work begins, and share accountability with software engineers/developers for delivering against them
  • Partner with the UX/UI Designer to turn business needs into validated concepts before development starts
  • Partner with the data team to define success metrics, instrument new features, and analyze results after launch, so roadmap decisions rest on evidence rather than assumptions
  • Adjust plans quickly when business priorities change, working with software engineers/developers to re-plan and keeping stakeholders informed along the way
  • Communicate product direction, progress, and decisions across the organization in a way that builds trust and alignment
  • Spot opportunities for new products and extensions, and help evaluate which ones are worth pursuing

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of product management experience, ideally on internal tools, enterprise software, or B2B platforms
  • A track record of taking ownership of an existing product and improving it in measurable ways
  • Strong prioritization judgment and the confidence to say no, with a clear rationale behind it
  • Experience writing requirements and acceptance criteria that software engineers/developers find clear and actionable
  • A data-driven mindset and experience working with analysts or data teams to define metrics, frame the right questions, and turn findings into product decisions
  • Enough technical fluency to discuss architecture, constraints, and trade-offs credibly with software engineers/developers
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, from sprint-level detail with the team to high-level updates for leadership
  • Adaptability and composure when priorities shift mid-stream

Preferred

  • Experience in advertising, media, logistics, or another operations-heavy industry
  • Background launching a new product from concept to release, in addition to managing established ones
  • Experience managing more than one product or helping a product line expand
  • Familiarity with agile delivery practices and GitHub
