This role owns the vision and long-term roadmap in this regard, and will be a successful influencer in terms of driving teams to execute on that vision. The Principal Product Manager is responsible for setting the direction for the portfolio of products/offerings, defining goals, prioritizing features according to impact/risk, and preparing launch & GTM strategies.

The Principal Product Manager is a bar-raising communicator, both verbally as well as in writing. As a Principal, they serve as a role model for other product owners in the space, and need to be able to influence across stakeholder teams and senior leaders to drive alignment strategically. This role requires clear articulation of complex problems and proposed solutions, and requires high judgement to ensure the right leaders are involved in decisions and regularly informed on progress. This role aligns teams towards clear priorities and advocates for investment delivering large, complex business initiatives, with clear mechanisms that audit progress towards shared goals and regularly reports results to ensure long-term business success. This leader collaborates across various VP-level organizations.
