Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager

At Bentley, our products help engineers design and operate the infrastructure the world depends on. As a Senior Product Manager, you'll own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for one or more products in our portfolio — driving measurable value for users while staying tightly aligned to business goals. You'll lead cross-functional teams through the full product lifecycle, from discovery to delivery and beyond, serving as the connective tissue between stakeholders, engineering, and the market. You bring deep industry awareness and a genuine curiosity about users with an ability to translate competitive signals and customer needs into a product direction teams can execute against with confidence. To thrive here, you'll need 8+ years of experience with complex software products, strong leadership through influence, and communication skills to move between a development team and an executive sponsor without missing a beat. Experience with AI-enhanced products is a plus. A growth mindset and a bias toward impact are a must.

Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle, from initial discovery to production, and beyond
• Develop and maintain a vision, strategy and roadmap for the product as the critical foundations to ensure that all stakeholders have a common understanding of the path forward.
• Use the right market research and user discovery techniques to define the right product to build and validate the approach to implementation through prototypes and user testing.
• Maintain product direction and priorities aligned with the broader business goals.
• Work in close collaboration with all team members, supporting their work by creating clarity, helping with prioritization and removing roadblocks.
• Make sure that alignment of all teams stays strong by conveying current development status, objectives and connection to product roadmap and overall company strategy.
• Work with the team to make sure that product backlog is visible, clear and up to date.
• Partner closely with Marketing, Sales, Technical Support and other stakeholder groups to ensure that products are launched seamlessly and have ongoing support.
• Actively seek feedback from teams and stakeholders to enrich teamwork and solid product strategy.
• Use monitoring and tracking tools to understand how the product performs on the market and how users get value from it.
• Keep an eye on the industry and its influence on the development of the product. Be ready to steer or pivot as necessary.
• Champion and foster a culture of user-centricity, collaboration and growth mindset at all times across all teams and stakeholders involved in the development and running of the product.
