Job Description

Our engineering software client is seeking a Principal Product Manager to drive product strategy, roadmap development, and market adoption for solutions supporting the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. This highly visible leadership role will partner with internal stakeholders, customers, and engineering teams to identify market opportunities, define product direction, and deliver innovative solutions that help infrastructure organizations improve project delivery and digital outcomes.

The ideal candidate brings a strong combination of product leadership, customer engagement, and deep understanding of the AEC industry. Unlike other product management roles on the team, this position is less focused on software development platforms and developer ecosystems and more focused on understanding industry needs, market trends, and customer challenges across the infrastructure lifecycle.

Partner with engineering, design, sales, marketing, and executive stakeholders to bring new capabilities to market. Engage directly with customers, industry leaders, and strategic partners to gather feedback and identify emerging opportunities. Serve as the voice of the customer by translating market needs into product requirements and investment priorities. Evaluate competitive trends, customer adoption metrics, and industry developments to inform roadmap decisions. Lead cross-functional discussions regarding feature prioritization, business value, and go-to-market planning. Present product strategy, vision, and roadmap updates to executive stakeholders and customers. Support product launches and adoption initiatives through collaboration with go-to-market teams. Advocate for innovation across infrastructure, engineering, and digital delivery workflows.
