Work you'll do
The Product Manager will play a critical role in defining, designing, and developing software products that will be included in Deloitte's Smart Factory Product Suite. Every user-centric product or module in the Suite is designed with a specific user persona in mind such as an SVP of Manufacturing, Plant Manager, Maintenance Manager, Quality Manager, Production Scheduler, Buyer, Planner, and more! You will collaborate with product owners, end-user representatives, UX/UI designers, architects, engineers, and customer support specialists to understand a user persona's problems and goals, ideate and assess potential solutions, and ultimately develop a user experience that our end-users "love" and would recommend to a friend. You will also work with Deloitte's Smart Factory standard service teams, pricing teams, and marketing teams to monetize software products, help pair them with consulting services, and help bring them to market. At Deloitte, Product Management is a hands-on leadership role that includes both strategic planning and tactical project management to ensure end-to-end organizational readiness to nurture a product at its stage in the software development lifecycle.
- Manage the product lifecycle from strategic planning to tactical activities
- Manage the product lifecycle from visioning and roadmap development to end-to-end market readiness
- Gather requirements from product owners and end-user representatives
- Decompose products and modules into epics and features

- Conduct build-buy-partner assessments to inform delivery model decisions
- Lead internal governance activities required for market entry
- Work with standard service teams, marketing teams, and sales teams to develop revenue forecasts and deliver revenue objectives
