Engineering Product Manager
Trimble
Title: Engineering Product Manager
Job Location: Westminster, CO, onsite
Department: Trimble Engineering Tools & Cloud Operations
We seek a highly motivated and experienced individual to join our Engineering Tools & Cloud Operations team as an Engineering Product Manager. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of our internal Engineering Tools and Cloud Financial Management solutions and contribute to the efficiency and innovation of our 4,000-person engineering organization.
The core engineering productivity tools we manage from Atlassian, Microsoft, and other vendors are key to the success of every engineer at Trimble. There is significantly more beyond hosting software or providing access to 3rd party services, as we provide add-ons, integrations, migrations, analysis, training and other services to enhance productivity. Furthermore, the rise of AI has added new vectors to our possibilities.
Third-party experts have identified our cloud financial tooling, which manages over 50TB of cost data and reports usage and savings opportunities, as the best they've seen. To further leverage this success, we will aggressively drive adoption through promotion, demos, training, documentation and usability refactoring.
Overall, this role will directly impact the velocity and quality of Trimble's products and has ample growth opportunities in internal product management responsibilities as objectives are met.
What You Will Do
Cloud Financial Management
Measure and improve the adoption of internal Cloud Financial Management and Optimization tooling across Trimble business units.
Act as the voice of the customer, identifying challenges and opportunities, and translating them into clear product requirements.
Clarify, prioritize and align your proposals with stakeholders, users and our engineering team, taking ownership of the product backlog.
Define key success metrics, providing regular updates and insights to leadership.
Balance the management of technical debt and architectural refresh with new features and bug fixes.
Provide regular updates about the FinOps program successes, collect user/stakeholder feedback and provide actionable insights to leadership.
Contribute to the function's three-year strategic plan.
Engineering Tools
Serve as the primary point of contact for new team engagements, including migrations, divestitures, and new technology initiatives, and manage the team's workflow pipeline in concert with our engineering manager.
Collaborate with management and leadership to align on PI plans that directly support OKRs and deliverables tied to the team's pipeline.
Function as the external spokesperson for the Engineering Tools team, communicating through various channels and participating in programs to disseminate key information to the organization's users.
Collaborate with Product Management leaders across Trimble to define the future set of PM tooling and workflows.
Lead the service's AI strategy for how engineers can create agentic workflows underpinned by the engineering systems.
Contribute to the function's three-year strategic plan.
What Skills & Experience You Should Bring
Candidates will possess a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Management Information Systems or a closely related technical field.
The ideal candidate should bring at least 5 years of progressive experience in product management, with a distinct preference for individuals who have focused on developing and managing internal tools, platforms, or solutions. This background will be crucial in understanding an engineering-focused user base's specific needs and challenges.
Proficiency in managing product portfolios and execution using standard corporate tools is essential. The role requires the ability to report on execution progress to management and stakeholders, including highlighting challenges and suggesting strategic recommendations.
A valuable skill for the candidate is the ability to leverage Business Intelligence (BI) tools for data analysis and insight generation.
While prior experience as an engineer is not required, a robust understanding of the modern software development lifecycle is paramount. This includes expertise in scaled agile methodologies (e.g., SAFe, Scrum, Kanban), a firm grasp of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and practical experience with modern cloud-native SaaS applications. The successful candidate will be able to articulate how these principles translate into effective product strategies for internal engineering teams.
Furthermore, the role requires a comprehensive familiarity with the diverse tools that empower and enable engineering teams. This encompasses, but is not limited to, project management software (e.g., Jira, Asana), version control systems (e.g., GitHub, GitLab), testing frameworks, observability platforms, and collaboration tools. The ability to understand the value proposition and integration points of these tools is essential.
While we expect a general understanding of cloud technologies (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform), we also value candidates who demonstrate an intense eagerness and proven ability to quickly learn new technical concepts and adapt to evolving cloud landscapes. This role will involve working with various cloud-based solutions, and a growth mindset in this area is key to success.
Expertise in finance is not required, though a working knowledge of basic concepts is helpful.
