As a Senior Product Manager you will help define, prioritize, and execute the roadmap for modernizing several of Aurora's product lines into a single, web-based, modern platform; and drive execution against it. You will work closely with a team that brings deep expertise in our legacy product lines to make the transformation real.
Responsibilities & Duties:
- Help lead and manage the R&D product roadmap, ensuring alignment with company goals and long-term strategies.
- Lead the discovery and exploration of emerging technologies and trends to identify new product opportunities.
- Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Product Management, a related field, or relevant experience.
- 6+ years of experience in product management, with a focus on software products.
- Technical background and understanding of software development processes.
- Experience managing the product lifecycle from concept to launch.
What your impact will be:
Modernization strategy & roadmap
- Help lead the strategy and execution to consolidate Aurora's product lines into one modern, web-based flagship platform.
- Partner with leadership to define where modernization goes, why, and in what order, then turn that direction into an executable plan.
Partnering with legacy product expertise
- Partner with tenured Product Managers and Engineers, drawing on their deep industry, customer, and legacy-product knowledge as a foundational input to the modernization strategy.
- Bring a modern-product lens, championing what future customers will expect from a web-based experience as the platform evolves.
Roadmap execution & delivery alignment
- Drive roadmap execution by turning the long-term vision into a practical, sequenced roadmap and moving quickly from planning to delivery.
- Shape product decisions around web-first design, intuitive workflows, and evolving customer expectations.
Customer validation & design-partner strategy
- Identify and cultivate design-partner relationships with municipalities to co-develop and validate modernization assumptions before broad rollout.
- Lower adoption risk by validating with real customers early instead of relying on a high-risk "big reveal" launch.
AI-enabled product opportunities
- Identify where AI can create meaningful functional efficiencies inside the product, from simplifying workflows to reducing manual effort and improving decision support.
- Shape AI-enabled product capabilities that make Aurora's modern platform smarter, more efficient, and more valuable for customers over time.
What we are looking for:
- Strategic, creative thinker who can shape product strategy while managing roadmap priorities, trade-offs, and execution details.
- Decisive, driven operator comfortable challenging the status quo and moving quickly through ambiguity.
- Skilled at building trust across experienced teams and translating deep institutional knowledge into a shared, forward-looking product vision.
- AI-enabled mindset and enthusiasm for using AI to accelerate product thinking, planning, and execution.
- Solid accounting fundamentals.
- 6+ years of product management or strategy experience, ideally with platform modernization or legacy migration.
- Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent experience.
What would make you stand out:
- Municipal industry experience.
- Fund accounting knowledge.
- Familiarity with GASB (Governmental Accounting Standards Board) principles.
- Direct experience modernizing a legacy product into a modern, web-based platform.
Salary range: $60,000 - $70,000 USD per year.
