Role Overview/Team

We are hiring a Principal Technical Product Manager for our Accounts and Entitlements backend platform team. This team builds scalable, reusable solutions that power entitlement provisioning, delivery, and management, as well as subscription management and digital access across our ecosystem—not just for endpoint applications, but also for portals, customer support, sales, marketing, and business intelligence.

You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams across product, customer portals, support, sales, e-commerce, marketing, and engineering. Your role focuses on designing and delivering platform solutions that streamline how users activate, manage, and retain access to our services across all touchpoints.

Mission and Goals

As a Principal Technical Product Manager, you will lead the evolution of the Accounts and Entitlements platform. Your primary mission will be to minimize one-off implementations, enable automation, and design scalable, reusable solutions that empower users to activate, manage, and retain access to our services with ease. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the platform’s technical direction aligns with broader business priorities, supporting the needs of our global organization.

Competencies

  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in technical product management, with a focus on platform or service-oriented architecture.
  • Own product roadmap planning and execution, balancing short-term priorities with long-term platform strategy.
  • Problem-solving: Proven ability to analyse current systems and describe a clear path toward next-gen solutions.
