We're seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager to lead our enterprise Digital Content Management (CMS) platform across two critical business areas. You'll drive product strategy and execution for CMS capabilities that power both our Digital Marketing Ecosystem—enabling marketing teams to create, manage, and optimize content at scale—and our public web experiences—delivering seamless digital interactions for millions of customers. This role offers the opportunity to shape a strategic platform that serves as the foundation for content delivery across the enterprise while working at the intersection of marketing technology, web innovation, and cloud-native architecture.

• Lead Product Delivery: Ensure successful, value-driven delivery across teams, manage dependencies, and champion agile practices. 
• Measure & Optimize: Track product performance, make data-driven decisions, and continuously evolve the product to meet enterprise needs. 
• Engage & Influence: Partner with leaders across all levels to align on goals, communicate strategy, and share results. Educate and consult with Principal teams on web application development best practices, use cases, and tooling. 
• Mentor & Shape Culture: Support and mentor other product managers, sharing best practices to foster a strong, high-performing product culture.
