Product Manager – API Strategy & Platform Interoperability

Role Overview

Are you passionate about how software and APIs are reshaping the global economy? Do you believe that "openness" is a competitive moat, not just a technical feature?

We are looking for a visionary Product Manager for API Strategy & Platform Interoperability to join the Building X team. In this role, you will move beyond managing point‑to‑point connectivity to architect the software‑defined integration layers and API frameworks that underpin our digital platform strategy.

You will treat our APIs, SDKs, and integration layers as first‑class products, driving a strategy that enables third‑party developers, partners, and customers to build the future on top of Building X.

Your mission is to transform technical connectivity into a thriving digital ecosystem. You will lead the monetization strategy for our digital interfaces, turning "openness" into a scalable, high‑growth business driver.

Own the vision and lifecycle for our Northbound and Southbound interfaces, agents, MCP servers and connectors, treating them as products that deliver world‑class Developer Experience (DX). Distill complex market trends in SaaS, Headless architecture, and Platform‑as‑a‑Service (PaaS) into a high‑impact product roadmap.

Move beyond literal connectivity to build a strategic "Openness Portfolio" that attracts customers and partners to fuel the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem and marketplace.

Define and execute innovative pricing strategy for our digital assets, data access, and premium integrations to drive measurable ARR from our platform capabilities.

Act as the bridge between R&D, Customers, and Go‑To‑Market teams to ensure our platform is delivering value for Siemens, customers and partners.

• Experience with third‑party hardware integration, partner ecosystems, and smart building technologies (HVAC, energy management)
• Knowledge of API design, SDKs, developer platforms, monetization models, and IoT/cybersecurity principles
• Strong knowledge of building automation protocols such as Niagara, BACnet, and Modbus, with familiarity in building management system (BMS) ecosystems
