We are seeking an experienced platform product management leader to define and scale the enterprise software platform that powers multiple digital products across the business. This leader will own the platform strategy, roadmap and outcomes for shared capabilities for Digital Products – including identity & tenancy, data and API layers, integration of AI services, observability, security & compliance, and growth enablers like the UX design system. This role ensures our platform enables product teams to deliver value quickly, with agility, predictability, and resilience, consistent with the Digital Product Operating Model (DPOM).
As a key member of the Digital Products team, this leader will help accelerate product delivery by providing well-defined standards, reusable services, and self-service capabilities for the product team. S/he will have responsibility for improving reliability and transparency through clear SLOs/SLIs and cost governance and be accountable for enabling strategic investments with ruthless prioritization of shared capabilities to unlock value.
Platform Strategy & Roadmap

- Define portfolio lenses and prioritization criteria for shared capabilities (core common services, data, API, developer experience, observability).
- Translate strategy into quarterly objectives and measurable outcomes; maintain a living roadmap with clear dependencies and runway for product teams.
Shared Capabilities

- Define MVPs and maturation paths for capabilities such as identity/tenancy, API gateway & standards, data platform, observability, CI/CD, AI integration.
- Establish paved-road standards and reference implementations; retire or consolidate duplicative tooling.
Enablement and Developer Experience
- Provide self-service workflows, golden paths, and templates (briefs, roadmaps) so teams can build and operate reliably with minimal friction.
- Partner with Engineering to evolve platform ergonomics (SDKs, starter kits, deployment scaffolds, documentation).
Reliability, Security and Compliance
- Set and govern SLO/SLI/SLA targets for shared services; embed resilience patterns and incident response rituals.
- Partner with Security, Cloud, and Compliance to ensure tenancy isolation, data protection, auditability, and cost controls are first-class.
Cross functional leadership and Stakeholder engagement
- Lead with a product mindset - connect initiatives to business outcomes, orchestrate tradeoffs, and drive adoption through clear communication and demos.
- Partner closely with product leaders, architecture, engineering, and operations; create feedback loops with internal users and external stakeholders.
Financials and Economics
- Own platform TCO and unit economics (e.g., cost per request/user/tenant).
- Build business cases for new capabilities and sunsetting of legacy components
Governance and Operating Model
- Champion DPOM governance rituals, metrics, and continuous improvement across platform and product teams (e.g., quarterly planning, portfolio reviews.
