Introduction
Ready to re-imagine the product management role? At IBM, as an Offering Manager, you are responsible for the full lifecycle of an offering: from validating need to determining the business model and defining the solution requirements. Going beyond the traditional focus of timetables and budgets, you use your keen insights into what customers want in their own business plan – and work across disciplines to build the best solutions to a problem. If being the CEO of your offering excites you, consider an offering management career at IBM.
Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Product Manager in IBM Software Multi-Cloud Platforms you will define, manage, and measure the outcome of feature builds on shared product architectures and services utilized by IBM container software and SaaS products. You will gather insights through customer feedback, matrixed product teams, and internal stakeholder inputs and use them in the value assessment and prioritization of engineering builds. You are responsible for negotiating the scope of organizational priorities in the delivery of high-value foundational services.
