Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Product Manager - Saas Platform - **Company:** Hollstadt Consulting - **Location:** Eden Prairie, MN, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $166,400.0 - **Contract:** Temporary contract - **Skills:** Agile Methodology, Amazon Web Services, JIRA, Microsoft Azure, Software as a Service, Cloud Engineering, Digital Asset Management, IT Management, Scrum Methodology, Release Management, Systems Architecture, Codebase, Api Design, GPT, Microservices - **Published:** May 30, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=ade7eef3da0cea63 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Tooling?, We are looking for doers, not participants. Every requirement below must be demonstrated through direct, hands-on experience - not team membership. * 5 to 7 years' experience with at least 3 years of contiguous Product Management experience. This means dedicated PM roles with increasing scope - not project managers or developers who transitioned into product six months ago. Career progression from Product Owner to Product Manager, or from Business Analyst to PM, is valued. * Direct experience leading product on MACH-based or modern cloud-native architectures. You have personally driven platform decisions, not observed them. Familiarity with headless CMS, microservices, API-first, and cloud-native (Azure preferred) is expected. * Hands-on Agile and sprint execution. You have owned backlogs, run sprint ceremonies, managed release cycles, and made prioritization trade-offs - not attended standups as a stakeholder. * Enterprise B2B platform experience (preferred). B2C e-commerce is acceptable, but candidates with B2B SaaS or platform experience - particularly in content management, digital asset management, or print/graphic communications - will be prioritized. * Business acumen first, technical aptitude second. You understand business models, revenue drivers, and customer value before you understand system architecture - but you can navigate codebases, read technical documentation, and hold your own in architecture discussions. We do not need a former developer or project manager; we need a product thinker who is technically literate. * Tooling proficiency: Aha! (preferred), Azure DevOps, and experience building or managing solutions in Azure cloud environments. AWS, GCS, JIRA, etc. is acceptable - they can learn the specifics of Azure., * You have a strong understanding of the full product lifecycle - from discovery and definition through build, launch, iteration, and scale - and you know what good looks like at every stage * You present with confidence to C-suite, customers, and cross-functional teams - and you tailor your message per audience * You partner effectively with UX, engineering, and QA to ensure quality delivery - not by hovering, but by setting clear expectations and removing blockers * You are an extrovert who builds relationships, navigates organizational politics, and generates buy-in through influence rather than authority * You use modern AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) as daily working tools to research, analyze, and accelerate your output - not as a novelty * You are a servant leader: no ego, high accountability, collaborative by default, and willing to do whatever the product needs - from writing a user story to presenting a strategic roadmap to the board * You research what you don't know. If you need to be told to look something up, this role isn't the right fit * You can manage and communicate budgets, timelines, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences * Experience with content management systems (CMS), Product Information Management (PIM), or digital asset management (DAM) and Online Content Editor platforms is a strong plus, * Familiarity with web-to-print workflows, variable data printing, or graphic communications industry a plus ## Description We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the continued development and market launch of a multi-tenant, cloud-native SaaS platform in the graphic communications and web-to-print space. This is not an advisory or support role - this is hands-on product leadership from day one. The platform has completed proof-of-concept and first release, the backlog is defined through the next six sprints, and a full cross-functional team is in place (Product Owner, UX, Architect, Engineering, QA). You are stepping into a built environment with clear momentum - your job is to take it to market and drive the product forward. This is ideal for a product leader who thrives in build-phase environments, wants to own outcomes end-to-end, and can operate as the strategic and tactical center of gravity for the product without needing a title to lead. What You Will Own * Product strategy and roadmap for an enterprise B2B SaaS platform built on MACH architecture * Sprint planning, backlog prioritization, and release management in collaboration with the Product Owner and engineering team * Stakeholder alignment across Sales, Marketing, IT leadership, customers, and executive sponsors - including steering committee presentations and budget discussions * Customer discovery and validation - direct engagement with current and prospective customers to inform product direction * Market intelligence and competitive landscape analysis - continuously monitoring trends, adjacent solutions, and customer feedback to sharpen product positioning and inform roadmap decisions * Data-driven decision-making: building the business cases, competitive analyses, and usage metrics that drive executive alignment and unblock decisions * Internal product demos and stakeholder updates - communicating product vision, progress, and trade-offs to executive leadership, customers, and cross-functional teams with audience-appropriate framing * User story definition and requirements clarity - writing and refining user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical requirements in partnership with the Product Owner to ensure engineering has what it needs to deliver * Platform go-to-market planning - transitioning from early-stage development into scaled commercial delivery * Serve as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and engineering - translating business intent into technical direction and ensuring alignment across both sides * Cross-functional leadership as a servant leader - driving consensus and accountability without positional authority ## Related Videos - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Getting to Know Your Legacy (System) with AI-Driven Software Archeology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1437-getting-to-know-your-legacy-system-with-ai-driven-software-archeology) - [Stop Renaming Teams, Start Product Thinking: A PM's Guide to Platform-as-a-Product](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100342-stop-renaming-teams-start-product-thinking-a-pm-s-guide-to-platform-as-a-product) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) ## Related Articles - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
