About the role
We're looking for a Product Manager to own a core product area at Cerebre. We're building infrastructure for industrial AI, and this role sits at the intersection of complex technical systems, customer-facing workflows, and emerging AI capabilities. You will work closely with our engineers, designers, and clients to shape product strategy, define features, and ensure timely delivery of high-impact solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Product Vision & Roadmap: Define and communicate direction for your product area, aligned with Cerebre's broader strategy.
- Backlog Management: Own, prioritize, and refine the product backlog to ensure that development efforts focus on the highest-value items.
- Stakeholder Alignment: Partner with leadership, customers, and cross-functional teams to ensure the product reflects real needs and strategic intent.
- Translate strategy into execution: Turn outcomes and hypotheses into clear user stories, specs, and acceptance criteria.
- Sprint Planning & Execution: Partner with engineering and design teams to plan sprints, ensure clarity on deliverables, and resolve blockers.
- Market & User Insights: Continuously pull & distill signal from customers, partners, and the broader industrial AI landscape to inform decisions.
