You will lead a team of Product Managers across our full menu of solutions and give them the structure, coaching, and decisions they need to deliver.
The Main Course - Responsibilities
Lead and develop the Product Managers, each the single point of contact for a product area, setting a high bar for product thinking and clear paths for growth.
Own the path from intake to launch, so every request is captured, routed, and answered with a clear decision.
Run the monthly roadmap cadence: gather signal from each Product Manager, decide what needs cross-product prioritization, and keep one roadmap current.
Make day-to-day prioritization calls, keeping the roadmap aligned with company strategy and explaining the tradeoffs behind each decision.
Build the operating rhythm and tooling, including Jira, Confluence, templates, and triage criteria, that help Product Managers raise the right issues at the right time.
Partner with leaders across Engineering, Sales, and Support to turn customer and market input into committed work.
Keep executive leadership informed on what is shipping, what is next, and why, and connect the roadmap to Ziosk's commercialization efforts.
What You Bring To The Table - Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, computer science, or a related field.
10 or more years of product management experience, including leading five or more Product Managers, directly or indirectly, through a recurring roadmap and prioritization cadence.
A track record of coaching Product Managers and raising the quality of their work.
Skill at balancing a stable roadmap with a structured intake process for new requests, and at telling planned work from ad hoc reprioritization.
Hands-on command of Jira and Confluence structure (projects, components, labels, spaces), beyond everyday use.
Strong executive communication, with the judgment to decide what to escalate and the ability to say no with clear reasons.
Experience in restaurant technology, hospitality technology, or a comparable multi-stakeholder B2B2C environment.
Candidates must be eligible to work in the U.S. and be able to commute daily to Plano, TX. No agencies or third-party recruiters, please.
