Director of Product Management
The Director of Product Management at Fictiv will lead the product strategy and integrated roadmap across multiple domains, including catalog platform and search, e-commerce platform experience, supply chain, customer experience, and business systems. This role involves managing a substantial product management organization, directing both senior individual contributors and people managers, and translating high-level company strategy into actionable, impact-driven roadmaps that deliver measurable results. The position reports to the VP of Product Management.
Key responsibilities include owning the product strategy and integrated roadmap across multiple domain areas, ensuring investments are focused on the highest-value opportunities for customers and the business. The director will translate company strategy and commercial priorities into a coherent, well-sequenced domain roadmap with clear goals, milestones, and business rationale. They will build and maintain a strong domain-level perspective on the competitive landscape, customer needs, operational constraints, and technology capabilities. Additionally, the director will identify and resolve cross-domain dependencies and trade-offs, driving alignment across product areas so that team roadmaps are mutually reinforcing rather than at odds. They will also develop business cases for significant investments and secure alignment across the management team and senior stakeholders.
The role requires leading, developing, and managing a substantial product management organization that includes both individual contributor PMs and PM managers, building a high-performing team with strong product judgment, communication discipline, and execution rigor. The director will coach PMs on discovery, prioritization, scoping, stakeholder alignment, launch readiness, and outcome measurement, raising the quality bar across all dimensions of the craft. They will create a collaborative, accountable team culture where PMs are growing in independence, taking ownership, and delivering results with minimal escalation. The director will drive consistent standards for roadmap development, requirements definition, goal-setting, and retrospective learning across the team. They will also contribute to talent strategy, including hiring, onboarding, and long-term development planning for the PM organization.
The director will build and sustain strong working relationships with Engineering, Design, Operations, Sales, Marketing, and Finance leadership to ensure product direction is well understood and collaboratively shaped. They will serve as the primary escalation point for cross-functional issues within the domain, driving resolution through clear communication, good judgment, and constructive trade-off decisions. The director will represent the product domain in senior leadership and executive forums, communicating strategy, roadmap status, trade-offs, and results with clarity and confidence. They will foster a cross-functional environment where information flows freely, decisions are made at the right level, and teams trust each other to deliver.
The director will ensure PMs maintain the rigor and discipline needed to deliver against priorities: clear requirements, well-managed scope, proactive risk identification, and tight coordination with Engineering and Design. They will establish and track meaningful input and output metrics across the domain, using quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate impact, inform prioritization, and drive continuous improvement. The director will drive successful product launches by ensuring all functions—Engineering, Operations, Sales, Marketing, and Support—are prepared and aligned. They will maintain visibility into team-level execution, surfacing progress and risks to leadership with candor and regularity. The director will apply Agile methodologies thoughtfully, helping teams structure their work.
