The Dealer Ops team at Cox Automotive is leading the modernization of the dealer management system experience - reimagining how dealerships run their financial operations on a cloud-native platform built for the way dealers work today. This is foundational platform work, and the accounting domain sits at the center of it. As a Senior Product Manager for DMS Accounting, you will drive discovery, delivery, and continuous improvement across core accounting workflows - including GL management, deal posting, cash receipts, and period close - that dealership controllers and accounting teams rely on every day.

You'll bring together dealer feedback, engineering collaboration, and data-informed judgment to ship product that meaningfully improves how dealerships operate their back office, while contributing to a broader modernization effort that is redefining the DMS category at Cox.

Own a defined set of DMS Accounting workflows end-to-end, from discovery through delivery, ensuring features are well-scoped, prioritized, and shipped with quality. Conduct dealer research and site visits on a recurring cadence, building relationships with accounting staff and controllers to surface friction, validate assumptions, and translate insights into product decisions. Create and maintain well-structured backlogs across Epic, Feature, and Story altitudes, partnering with engineering to refine scope, resolve dependencies, and maintain delivery momentum.

Collaborate with cross-functional partners in Engineering, Architecture, UX, and Go-to-Market to ensure product releases are well-executed and dealer-ready. Use product metrics, usage data, and qualitative feedback to evaluate in-market performance and make evidence-based recommendations for iteration and investment. Contribute to investment cases and roadmap inputs that connect accounting workflow improvements to measurable dealer and business outcomes. Develop a working knowledge of the competitive DMS landscape and evolving dealer expectations in accounting operations, keeping the team informed and the product strategy grounded.
