We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the continued development and market launch of a multi-tenant, cloud-native SaaS platform in the graphic communications and web-to-print space. This is not an advisory or support role — this is hands-on product leadership from day one.

The platform has completed proof-of-concept and first release, the backlog is defined through the next six sprints, and a full cross-functional team is in place (Product Owner, UX, Architect, Engineering, QA). You are stepping into a built environment with clear momentum — your job is to take it to market and drive the product forward.

This is ideal for a product leader who thrives in build-phase environments, wants to own outcomes end-to-end, and can operate as the strategic and tactical center of gravity for the product without needing a title to lead.

• Product strategy and roadmap for an enterprise B2B SaaS platform built on MACH architecture

• Platform go-to-market planning — transitioning from early-stage development into scaled commercial delivery
• Serve as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and engineering — translating business intent into technical direction and ensuring alignment across both sides
• Cross-functional leadership as a servant leader — driving consensus and accountability without positional authority

We are looking for doers, not participants. Every requirement below must be demonstrated through direct, hands-on experience — not team membership.

• 5 to 7 years’ experience with at least 3 years of contiguous Product Management experience. This means dedicated PM roles with increasing scope — not project managers or developers who transitioned into product six months ago. Career progression from Product Owner to Product Manager, or from Business Analyst to PM, is valued.
• Direct experience leading product on MACH-based or modern cloud-native architectures. You have personally driven platform decisions, not observed them. Familiarity with headless CMS, microservices, API-first, and cloud-native (Azure preferred) is…
