COMPANY OVERVIEW:
The Lead Product Manager combines technology, user experience, data, and business strategy to solve meaningful customer and business problems. This role partners closely with commercial, product, operations, marketing, finance, and technology stakeholders to create scalable solutions that improve how KPM products are brought to market, sold, contracted, activated, monetized, and scaled. The role is accountable for delivering measurable business value through product strategy, Salesforce innovation, workflow automation, and continuous improvement of the seller experience.
SUMMARY:
The Lead Product Manager serves as the strategic product leader for KPM’s Salesforce platform, defining the vision, strategy, roadmap, and operating model for enterprise capabilities delivered across Salesforce.
