Staff Technical Product Manager – Central Services
We are looking for a Staff Technical Product Manager to shape the strategy, priorities, and execution of our Central Services portfolio, which covers Data Platform, Cloud Platform, Developer Platform, and Agentic Tooling.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive product strategy across the Central Services portfolio, ensuring platform investments align with company priorities and engineering needs.
- Partner with engineering leadership across Data Platform, Cloud Platform, Developer Platform, and Agentic Tooling to shape roadmaps and prioritise the highest‑impact opportunities.
- Translate broad business and engineering goals into clear product direction, measurable outcomes, and prioritised initiatives.
- Build a strong understanding of internal users across engineering, data, security, and adjacent functions; identify pain points and opportunities to improve productivity, reliability, scalability, and governance.
- Balance short‑term delivery needs with long‑term platform strategy, helping teams make deliberate trade‑offs across usability, adoption, resilience, security, and cost.
- Drive alignment across multiple teams and stakeholders, especially where priorities compete or ownership is distributed.
- Establish product frameworks, goals, and success measures for Central Services capabilities, including adoption, satisfaction, efficiency, reliability, and business impact.
- Lead discovery and definition for new platform capabilities and improvements, ensuring teams are solving meaningful problems with clear value.
- Bring structure and clarity to ambiguous or emerging problem spaces, particularly in areas such as agentic tooling and internal platform evolution.
- Partner with technical leaders to understand architecture, dependencies, risks, and delivery constraints well enough to make strong prioritisation and sequencing decisions.
- Communicate roadmap, progress, trade‑offs, and strategic direction clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, including senior leadership.
- Help foster a product mindset within platform and infrastructure teams, connecting technical investments to user outcomes and company impact.
Qualifications
- Significant experience in Technical Product Management, Platform Product Management, or a similar role operating in complex technical environments with cross‑team coordination.
- Consultative experience working with other teams to ensure their requirements are understood, aligned to the roadmap, and delivered.
- Proven ability to work across multiple technical domains and teams, influencing strategy and execution beyond a single product area.
- Strong technical fluency, with the ability to engage credibly with engineers, architects, and senior technical leaders across platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, data systems, developer tooling, or AI‑enabled engineering systems.
- Experience defining roadmaps and priorities for internal platforms or deeply technical products used by engineering teams.
- Strong understanding of platform product management, including internal customer discovery, self‑service enablement, adoption, service maturity, and outcome‑based prioritisation.
- Demonstrated experience balancing strategic thinking with pragmatic execution in fast‑moving organisations.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, including the ability to align senior leaders with differing priorities and perspectives.
- Strong analytical and decision‑making capability, with the ability to use qualitative and quantitative inputs to drive prioritisation.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, identify the right problems to solve, and create momentum across cross‑functional teams.
- Track record of leading through influence rather than direct authority.
Domain Experience We’d Value
- Data Platform: streaming, ingestion, data lakes/lakehouses, governance, platform usability, and data enablement.
- Cloud Platform: multi‑cloud environments, cloud operating models, account/subscription/project provisioning, guardrails, identity, networking, cost and reliability considerations.
- Developer Platform: source control platforms, CI/CD, developer workflows, internal developer portals, release enablement, and developer experience.
- Agentic Tooling: autonomous coding systems, AI‑assisted software delivery, workflow orchestration, safety controls, evaluation, governance, and scalable adoption within engineering organisations.
Nice to Have
- Experience in fintech, payments, or other regulated and high‑scale environments.
- Experience working with platform engineering, site reliability, cloud, data, or developer productivity organisations.
- Familiarity with organisational change management and adoption of new technical capabilities across large engineering teams.
- Experience defining success metrics for internal platforms and measuring impact through engineering and business outcomes.
- Exposure to emerging AI/Agentic Development tooling in enterprise engineering environments.
Why This Role Matters
Central Services is foundational to how Checkout.com engineers build and operate software.
