Full Job Description
Position Description:

We9re looking for a Product Manager - ServiceTrade Inspection Forms who9s excited to make an impact. In this role, you will own the product strategy, roadmap, and execution for ServiceTrade9s Forms platform-a critical component of our Inspections product used by fire protection, HVAC, and facilities service companies to conduct compliance inspections in the field.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role. You9ll manage the integration with our forms vendor, own resolution of customer escalations, define and communicate the Forms roadmap to internal stakeholders, and work directly with customers to understand their workflows and translate them into product requirements. You9ll also need to roll up your sleeves: building forms, QA-ing templates, and diagnosing technical issues alongside engineering.

This role is not for a pure strategist. You need to be comfortable operating at both 30,000 feet (roadmap, stakeholder alignment, vendor strategy) and in the weeds (building a form, debugging conditional logic, understanding JSON schemas). You must also deeply understand fire and life safety compliance workflows, inspection requirements, and industry standards-this is not a role where you can learn the domain on the job.

Key Responsibilities and Activities:

Product Strategy & Roadmap
  • Define and communicate the Forms product roadmap to Sales, Account Management, Support, Implementation, and executive stakeholders
  • Prioritize feature development, enhancements, and technical debt against customer impact and business value
  • Own the Forms backlog: triage, prioritize, and drive resolution of open customer escalations
  • Conduct competitive analysis and customer discovery to inform product direction

Hands-On Execution
  • Build, configure, and QA custom forms for customers using the digital form building platform
  • Diagnose and troubleshoot form behavior issues (conditional logic, data mapping, PDF generation, submission failures)
  • Understand the ServiceTrade 194 Joyfill integration architecture deeply enough to triage technical issues and guide engineering
  • Author detailed product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for engineering

Stakeholder & Vendor Management
  • Serve as the primary product interface with our integration partner: translate customer needs into vendor feature requests, escalate bugs, manage release coordination
  • Communicate release plans, roadmap changes, and escalation status proactively to internal teams
  • Provide release notes, enablement documentation, and training materials to Support and field teams

Team Leadership & Workflow Management
  • Lead and coordinate external contractors supporting forms development, QA, and customer delivery
  • Own and maintain the Forms JIRA backlog: ensure tickets are properly scoped, prioritized, and assigned
  • Manage contractor capacity, assign work, review deliverables, and ensure quality standards are met
  • Establish and enforce ticketing standards, workflow hygiene, and sprint planning processes
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for contractor questions, escalations, and performance feedback
  • Provide regular backlog health reporting and ensure visibility into open work, blockers, and progress

Customer & Escalation Ownership
  • Engage directly with customers to understand inspection workflows, compliance requirements, and pain points
  • Own resolution of critical customer escalations: drive cross-functional teams to closure, not just track status
  • Recognize when an issue is a true crisis and act decisively-escalate, re-prioritize, and communicate impact
  • Define post-launch success metrics and instrument features to track adoption and business outcomes
Knowledge and Skills:

Required:
  • 3-5 years of product and/or operations management experience in a technical or B2B SaaS environment
  • Deep familiarity with North American fire and life safety codes and standards, including NFPA, AES, ULC, Joint Commission and related compliance requirements. You understand what inspectors check, how reports are structured, and what compliance documentation must include.
  • Technical depth: You9ve built integrations, understand APIs/webhooks/data mapping, and can read JSON or debug a form configuration yourself. Bonus if you9ve worked with low-code/no-code platforms, form builders, or workflow automation tools.
  • Hands-on execution: You9re comfortable building, QA-ing, and troubleshooting forms alongside customers and engineering.
  • Customer-facing experience: You9ve gathered requirements directly from customers, conducted discovery, and translated complex workflows into product specs.
  • Stakeholder communication: You9ve presented roadmaps, written release notes, and kept cross-functional teams aligned.
  • Crisis judgment: You know when to drop everything and escalate, and when to hold the line.
  • Outcome ownership: You measure whether features work, iterate based on data, and own the result.

Preferred:
  • Former contractor, technician, or office staff for a fire and life safety services business-you9ve lived the workflows our customers use and understand their pain points firsthand.
  • Experience with SaaS products serving field service, compliance, or inspection workflows in fire protection, HVAC, or facilities management.
  • Familiarity with Joyfill, JotForm, Typeform, or similar form/document platforms.
  • Background in solutions engineering, technical account management, or implementation consulting before transitioning to product management.
  • Experience managing vendor/partner integrations and navigating build vs. buy trade-offs.
  • Understanding of mobile app product management (iOS/Android SDKs, offline sync, mobile UX).
