Sr Product Manager -
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to join our Vehicle Acquisition team within the AcES Release Train at vAuto. In this role, you will help shape how dealers source, evaluate, and acquire used vehicle inventory by leveraging market data, vehicle condition insights, and predictive signals to drive confident purchasing decisions. Working alongside other PMs on the Acquisition team, you will partner closely with cross-functional teams, including AI-Integrated Teams, to lead initiatives from problem discovery through delivery and adoption.
Responsibilities
- Identify and validate problems through dealer partners, performance managers, Sales, Support, and internal stakeholders.
- Use data, customer evidence, and competitive context to build a defensible point of view on what to build - and defend it with specifics.
- Define and maintain a forward-looking product roadmap in partnership with product leadership.
- Own Epics and Features end-to-end, including PI Planning input and backlog prioritization.
- Keep AIT teams supplied with well-understood, sequenced work - enough runway to maintain momentum without committing to solutions before the problem is clear.
- Author Discovery Specs and co-author Delivery Specs with Engineering and Design.
- Maintain a product context repository as the durable record of your value stream - outside of Rally.
- Use Claude Desktop, Copilot, and other AI tools daily - for discovery synthesis, spec drafting, prototype generation, and context management.
- Write prompts as a core skill. Build or adapt custom skills for product workflows.
- Bring curiosity about designing AI-powered dealer capabilities, not just AI-assisted personal productivity.
- Anchor recommendations in data from sources like Amplitude, Tableau, and Snowflake. Understand what the data represents and use it to inform your point of view.
- Monitor product performance post-launch, identify optimization opportunities, and drive continuous improvement against defined KPIs.
- Own a time horizon that extends beyond deployment. Define what complete adoption looks like, build rollout plans with performance managers and support teams, and coordinate with Sales, Marketing, and training on launch readiness.
- Track outcomes against measurable criteria.
- Serve as a senior liaison across product, engineering, operations, and business leadership. Represent customer and dealer priorities to influence product and technology decisions. Surface status, risks, and wins without being asked - lead with the headline, bring a recommended path when something is off track.
Qualifications
- A bachelor's degree in a related discipline and 4 years of experience in a related field.
- 5+ years in software product management.
- Demonstrated end-to-end discovery ownership: problem identification through validated solution direction.
- Working proficiency with AI tools (Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent); prompt writing is a practiced skill.
- Familiarity with GitHub Enterprise as a product artifact workspace.
- Familiarity with Amplitude, Snowflake, or equivalent for evidence-based prioritization.
- Strong written and verbal communication; able to influence cross-functional teams.
- Experience in a CAFe, AIT, or scaled agile delivery environment preferred.
- Experience in automotive retail, dealer software, or adjacent B2B SaaS preferred but not required.
