Product Manager; Stratus Platform

Build the future, spark innovation and align your career with purpose.

McKinstry is innovating the waste and climate harm out of the built environment and creating lasting impact. Together, we’re building a thriving planet.

Buildings are a leading contributor to the climate crisis, generating nearly 40% of total global energy-related carbon emissions. We’re making a lasting impact on our industry and within our communities by addressing the climate, affordability and equity crises through:

• renewables and energy services
• engineering and design
• construction and facility services

To get where we’re going, we need big thinkers, problem solvers and collaborative mindsets. Does that sound like you?

We are currently seeking a skilled, detail-oriented Product Manager to join our team. This role supports the vision, strategy, and delivery of key Line of Business (LOB) and/or Corporate Service Unit (CSU) products and their roadmaps.

The position is responsible for product management, project coordination, and cross-departmental implementation leadership for the Stratus Manufacturing platform
, which supports construction fabrication and Off‑Site Manufacturing (OSM) functions across McKinstry. This work sits at the intersection of product management, configuration governance, and operational coordination.

The Product Manager will work closely with the business to manage the configuration of the Stratus platform, govern the configuration backlog, and ensure enhancements are executed in a controlled, predictable manner.

This position is based in Seattle, WA
, enabling direct proximity to fabrication facilities in the Pacific Northwest, more efficient onsite support and quicker turnaround for shop‑floor needs, and periodic travel to remote fabrication facilities for configuration validation and implementation alignment. This onsite presence is essential for managing a production‑critical system with hands‑on operational workflows.

The ideal candidate for this position is a strategic, customer‑focused problem solver who can operate comfortably in ambiguity while balancing business goals, user needs, and technical constraints. They communicate clearly, collaborate effectively across teams, use data to guide decisions, and turn strategy into actionable plans. A successful Product Manager is curious, adaptable, execution‑oriented, and able to influence stakeholders to deliver meaningful, high‑impact products.

• Addresses system issues, supports user engagement, and liaises with vendor resources.
• Provides hands‑on support for fabrication facilities across multiple regions.

Perform other duties as assigned.

• A minimum of five years' experience in configuration management of technology solutions within the construction, fabrication, or off‑site manufacturing (OSM) fields; or three years of direct Stratus configuration experience.
• Develop a deep understanding of the business and partner pain points, translating needs into technology‑driven solutions using the Stratus platform.
• Build strong, collaborative stakeholder relationships while applying product management expertise to deploy scalable solutions that improve user experience and performance.
