Manager, Product Management Digital

The Manager, Product Management Digital owns the development and execution of the Data Center digital portfolio. The role defines where digital capabilities create measurable customer and business value across equipment, fluids, analytical services, commissioning, operations, and lifecycle management. This product manager converts customer workflows and data needs into a prioritized roadmap of monitoring, connectivity, analytics, alerts, reporting, integrations, and digitally enabled services. The role is accountable for product-market fit, requirements, commercialization, adoption, and lifecycle performance. A critical mandate is to establish disciplined digital product-development and release processes, with clear documentation of user needs, requirements, architecture dependencies, security and data decisions, testing, release readiness, adoption, support, and lifecycle changes.
What You Will Do
Own the digital portfolio strategy, roadmap, requirements, launch plans, and lifecycle performance for Data Center offerings.
Identify and prioritize customer problems that can be solved through monitoring, telemetry, analytics, alerts, reporting, workflow, remote support, optimization, and integration.
Define target users, use cases, customer outcomes, product requirements, commercial models, and success metrics for each digital offer.
Build the roadmap for connected equipment and services across CDUs, TCS piping, coolant and water analytics, commissioning, maintenance, and lifecycle management.
Partner with Digital, Software, Engineering, cybersecurity, data governance, Legal, and IT teams to translate market needs into executable capabilities and release priorities.
Define data, connectivity, interoperability, API, user-experience, security, privacy, reliability, and support requirements for mission-critical data center environments.
Lead customer discovery, concept testing, pilots, and market validation before scaling development and commercialization.
Develop business cases, packaging, pricing, subscription or service models, cost-to-serve assumptions, and portfolio economics.
Drive launch readiness with Product Marketing, Sales, Services, Operations, and Support, including demos, documentation, training, onboarding, and adoption plans.
Measure active use, adoption, attach, renewal, customer outcomes, reliability, support demand, revenue, and margin; use evidence to prioritize enhancements or retire low-value capabilities.
Ensure digital offerings integrate with the broader Data Center product and services portfolio rather than becoming disconnected tools or custom projects.
Establish and execute a repeatable digital product-development process spanning discovery, validation, requirements, prioritization, design, development, testing, cybersecurity and privacy review, release readiness, launch, adoption, support, and retirement.
Create and maintain product documentation including personas, use cases, workflows, product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, data definitions, integration requirements, release criteria, decision logs, roadmaps, and lifecycle records.
Maintain traceability from validated customer problems through requirements, development, testing, release, adoption metrics, and subsequent product decisions.
Define clear handoffs, decision rights, documentation standards, release controls, and escalation paths across Product Management, Software, Engineering, Cybersecurity, Data, IT, Services, Support, and Commercial teams.
Lead recurring roadmap, backlog, release-readiness, and post-launch reviews that produce documented decisions, owners, deadlines, corrective actions, and process improvements.
