• Spend time with agencies and at industry events to understand how departments train, credential, and operate training departments.

• Work with the engineering team to plan, specify, and deliver product enhancements, prioritizing new features and setting specific timelines.

• Test new product features before release, provide feedback, and prioritize issues.

• Collaborate with product marketing to support webinars, presentations, demos, case studies, and product updates.

• Coordinate product launch activities, working closely with cross-departmental teams.

• Prepare and conduct sales enablement training on new features.

• Track performance of new features, measure product adoption and business plan achievements.

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

• 7+ years in Product Management

• Demonstrated working experience within the public safety market (fire, EMS, law enforcement, or emergency management), with a working knowledge of how agencies train and operate.

• Familiarity with public safety training, credentialing, or compliance standards is a plus

• Excellent interpersonal skills and proven team player with co-workers and customers.

• Strong written and verbal communicator who can build alignment, negotiate tradeoffs, and present product strategy to executives, customers, and cross-functional teams.
