Product Manager

Product Manager

Location: Richardson, TX

Duration: 6 Months

Job Description

As a Product Manager on the Advisory Data & Research team, you’ll own real products, lead a focused scrum team, and sit at the intersection of strategy, technology, and the business. You’ll be close to the work — and close to the users — shaping what gets built and why. This isn’t a coordination role.

• You’ll help set the roadmap and define the vision.
• You will drive execution, and be accountable for outcomes.
• You’ll partner with UX designers to make products people actually want to use, push engineering teams to ship with quality and speed, and represent the product to business leaders and D&T leadership alike.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the product roadmap — synthesize input from users, business stakeholders, and D&T leadership into a clear, sequenced vision for what to build and why.
• Lead a scrum team in delivery: write sharp user stories and acceptance criteria, groom the backlog, lead refinement sessions, and actively participate in daily scrum meetings, demos, and lead user testing and rollout.
• Drive product discovery alongside UX partners — conduct user research, run feedback sessions, and champion the end-user perspective in every decision.
• Translate strategy into execution by collaborating closely with Engineering, turning product requirements into well-understood, buildable plans.
• Define and deliver specific product implementations end-to-end, from problem framing through launch and measurement.
• Represent your product to business leadership and D&T leadership — providing crisp, regular updates and connecting day-to-day work to broader strategic goals.
• Spot problems before they become blockers: proactively identify risks, resolve issues, and communicate with clarity and urgency when it matters.

What You’ll Need:

• 3–5+ years of experience in Product Management, Strategy, Business Analytics, or a related field — with a track record of shipping things that matter. A bachelor’s degree is preferred; relevant experience counts.

• Hands-on experience leading agile/scrum teams and a genuine fluency with the rituals: standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, demos.

• Strong instincts for prioritization — you know how to say no, and you know how to explain why.

• The communication skills to work across levels: from a developer pair-programming to a C-suite stakeholder update, you adjust your style and land your message.

• A bias for the user — you seek out feedback, ask hard questions, and let what you learn change your mind.

• Comfort navigating ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and keeping teams focused when the landscape shifts.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and familiarity with modern product management tools.
