Senior Product Manager

Kforce has a client that is seeking a Senior Product Manager in Saint Louis, MO.

Key Responsibilities: Requirements Definition & Experience Design:

• Translate high-level business visions and roadmaps into concrete, executable product requirements, user stories, workflows, and experience designs
• Utilize Figma to map out requirements, Aha! for product management tracking, and Jira/Confluence for documentation and execution

Stakeholder Management & Collaboration:

• Lead workshops and discovery sessions with powerful, deeply experienced business stakeholders
• Manage scope; Push back tactfully yet firmly to prevent scope creep, ensuring the product stays on course according to the established roadmap
• Navigate a matrixed internal environment, bridging communication gaps between IT, sales-facing teams, digital product teams, and executive VPs

Execution, Scrum, & Release Management:

• Partner closely with engineering and IT teams to manage backlogs and drive monthly releases within an Appian code base environment (navigating its specific release limitations)
• Own business-level User Acceptance Testing (UAT); While you won't do hands-on technical code testing, you will ensure test cases are correct, coordinate with business teams, and manage release notes
• Maintain a quantitative approach to prioritization, adapting to our flexible, scrum-like product processes while maintaining consistent delivery standards

Team Integration & Mentorship (Stretch Goal):

• Operate with extreme independence; Take a feature set or release package and run with it end-to-end without needing frequent escalation to management
• Act as a mentor to junior product managers on the team, helping them mature within the PDLC process
