What You'll Do
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our Retirement & Income Solutions Product Management team, leading strategy and delivery for our Plan and Participant Management family.

- Define and manage the product vision and strategy for our Salesforce platform, aligning customer needs, business goals, and enterprise priorities in partnership with leaders across our Retirement & Income Solutions (RIS) team.
- Lead product discovery through experimentation, customer research, and analytics to identify high-value opportunities and prioritize investments that move the needle.

- Communicate and align across teams and leadership forums, keeping partners informed, engaged, and rallied around a shared direction.
- Foster product leadership by mentoring fellow product managers, championing best practices, and helping cultivate a high-performing product culture.
