Full description
Strategy and vision
· Define and maintain a north star vision for Cedar’s product portfolio, then translate it into a roadmap that leadership understands, believes in, and will fund.
· Develop a working command of the competitive landscape, including where Cedar wins today and where we have room to differentiate, and turn that into positioning the business can defend.
· Lead the trade-off conversations that set direction. When Sales, Operations, Compliance, and Finance each have a case for the next investment, you reconcile the competing priorities, form a clear recommendation, and bring stakeholders along with the decision. Build, buy, and partner analysis is one of the tools you will use to get there.
· Bring commercial judgment to prioritization. Understand how product decisions affect cost to serve, margin, pricing, and revenue, and use that lens to rationalize the roadmap.
Discovery and definition
· Spend time with the people who use what we build, including clients, internal operators, and global delivery teams, and develop a firsthand point of view on their needs.
· Translate business needs into clear problem statements, and those into requirements and user stories the engineering team can act on directly.
· Structure work so that assumptions get tested early, and adjust quickly as evidence comes in.
Delivery
· Partner day to day with a global delivery team working US hours across engineering, QA, and design, and own the outcome through release.
· Sequence releases, manage dependencies and scope, and make the call when priorities compete.
· Lead new product introduction from validation through launch, including enablement, documentation, migration, and adoption.
Alignment and communication
· Communicate effectively at every altitude, from an executive strategy narrative to a detailed acceptance criteria review.
· Build the cross-functional relationships that help product decisions move quickly, and keep leadership current on progress, risks, and results.
· Mentor an associate product manager and contribute to how product work gets done at Cedar.
Measurement
· Instrument what you ship. Define the metrics that matter before launch, track them afterward, and apply what you learn to the next decision.
How You Work
The mindset for this role matters as much as the experience behind it. We look for:
· Product sense. You can look at a problem, generate several credible solutions, and make the case for one. You have developed judgment about what good looks like, and you can articulate it to people who see it differently.
