Product Manager

About the Role?

We are hiring a Product Manager to lead the next chapter of our Control product line. You will bridge the gap between the regional teams driving:

• Strategy and commercial growth
• Clients deploying it across multiple geographies
• Engineering teams across multiple geographies

This is a hands-on, end-to-end role shaping the roadmap, running the sprint cadence, demoing to clients, and owning delivery from idea to production.

This role suits a Product Manager who has spent time in a consulting or process-transformation environment - someone who is adept in client conversations, comfortable mapping operational processes, and now wants to own a product rather than advise on someone else's.

Now you may be wondering what your day-to-day will look like. You will...

• Product strategy & roadmap for Control - translate client needs, commercial priorities and market signals into a prioritised backlog.
• Day-to-day delivery management of the India-based engineering and QA team - running stand-ups, refining backlog, unblocking work across time zones.
• Client engagement across multiple geographies - running demos, proof-of-value engagements, implementation support and ongoing solutioning conversations.
• Requirements & specifications - turning business problems into clear, sprint-ready user stories with acceptance criteria the engineering team can execute against.
• Cross-functional alignment with sales, customer success, marketing and leadership in Coherent's Asia-Pacific and global hubs.
• Go-to-market support - release notes, internal enablement, and direct involvement in commercial conversations where product depth is needed.

What experience and attributes we think you need to get the job done...

• 5–8 years of product management experience, with a track record of driving features from idea through to production release.
• Strong client-facing skills - you've run discovery sessions, demos, POVs and implementation conversations directly with external clients, not just internal stakeholders.
• Experience working in a B2B environment serving financial-services clients (banking, insurance, asset management or adjacent).
• Proven ability to manage or coordinate offshore / distributed engineering teams - succinct communication, clear written specs, and delivery rhythms across time zones are second nature.
• Comfortable translating ambiguous business requirements into structured roadmaps and actionable sprint-level work.
• Strong written communication - much of stakeholder management happens async across geographies.
• A solid working understanding of how spreadsheets are used to run operational, pricing, actuarial or finance processes inside businesses - this is the universe our product operates in.
