About the Role

As a Portfolio Manager, you’ll turn product strategy into execution. While Product Managers and Product Leaders define the vision, strategy, and roadmap, the Product Delivery team ensures those plans are executed with precision.

PDMs may focus on one of two types of assignments:

• Business Segment Support – Partnering with a Head of Product to provide tactical delivery leadership. You’ll drive work intake, perform impact assessments, and oversee the SDLC to ensure the segment’s portfolio delivers measurable outcomes.
   

• Product Launches – Leading major cross-functional initiatives from idea viability through general availability. You’ll orchestrate go-to-market readiness, commercialization, and delivery governance while shaping and improving our delivery playbook.
   

This is a high-visibility role where you’ll serve as the connective tissue across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Support, and Operations – ensuring the POS organization delivers results that move the business forward.
