The Product Manager is responsible for synthesizing insights, prioritizing outcomes, defining requirements, and ensuring the delivered layers perform in real customer workflows from onboarding through ongoing use.

Key Outcomes

  • Customer needs are consistently translated into clear attribute specifications and layer definitions that the Data team can implement.
  • A coherent, versioned layer catalog is maintained, mapping each layer to a customer needs and the attributes required to deliver value.
  • Sales is equipped with validated positioning, demo layers, and enablement materials aligned to customer workflows.
  • Delivery operates on a predictable release/refresh rhythm with defined quality standards and clear ownership across teams.

Essential Functions

  • Establish usability standards for layers (metadata completeness, consistent schema, consumer-friendly naming) to support internal and external adoption.
  • Expected time allocation: approximately 20% hands-on layer work.

Cross-Functional Execution & Delivery

  • Partner with the Data team to define required attributes, data definitions, and quality thresholds based on validated customer needs; co-own publish-ready acceptance criteria.
  • Coordinate with the platform/publishing owner to ensure layers and services are published, shared, and governed appropriately for consumption via open-sourced GIS tools, open standards -based interfaces and Esri Enterprise environment.
  • Drive prioritization and sequencing of enhancements based on customer feedback, business value, and feasibility constraints.
  • Define and execute release readiness checklists, including functional validation and basic data quality verification.

Sales Enablement & Customer Readiness

  • Develop and maintain enablement assets: demo layers, capability summaries, customer workflow narratives, and one-page product briefs for each layer.
  • Support Sales in structuring customer trials and success criteria; participate in customer sessions to accelerate iteration and adoption.
  • Partner with Sales on feedback loops and win/loss learnings; translate insights into prioritized product improvements.

Operational Readiness & Quality

  • Define product quality expectations (completeness thresholds for key fields, refresh expectations, and usability standards) and partner with Data/Platform to implement validation checks and reporting.
  • Establish and communicate a predictable release/refresh rhythm for customer-facing layers.
