Thoughtworks is hiring a Product Manager Strategist. In this role, you will serve as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, orchestrating the seamless blend of business strategy, design, and technology. You'll be responsible for understanding client needs, driving commercial results, and guiding them on their journey to providing more successful customer experiences from vision to execution.
What You'll Do
- Lead discovery engagements across the full problem-finding and validation cycle: problem framing, customer discovery, concepting, evaluation, prototyping and validation.
- Build a shared product vision and roadmap and guide the team in translating strategic direction into delivery.
- Apply hypothesis-driven thinking to identify and test assumptions across the four primary product risk areas: desirability, feasibility, usability and viability.
- Collaborate closely with Design Researchers and Product Engineers to design and run rapid experiments, synthesize findings and generate actionable insights.
- Conduct comparative analysis and maturity assessments to diagnose the current state and define strategic opportunities.
- Apply business modelling and business process analysis to understand client context, identify inefficiencies and shape future state recommendations.
- Define and articulate business value clearly, connecting strategic insights to measurable outcomes and stakeholder priorities.
- Manage scope and value proposition definition throughout the engagement lifecycle, ensuring alignment between discovery findings and business objectives.
- Cultivate meaningful relationships with client stakeholders, bridging technical and business worlds while developing a deep understanding of their strategy, structure and business model.
- Collaborate with client stakeholders to define key metrics of success, including governance, compliance and risk considerations in regulated environments.
- Track industry trends and the competitive landscape to continuously inform product strategy and target market segments.
- Synthesize research, data and business insights into clear strategic recommendations that drive alignment and decision-making at all levels.
What We're Looking For
- Hands-on experience leading discovery engagements, including problem framing, customer research, experiment design and hypothesis validation across desirability, feasibility, usability and viability.
- Ability to shape a product vision and strategy and translate it into a roadmap with clear business and customer value based measures of success.
- Experience with business modelling, process analysis and comparative analysis, and can conduct maturity assessments to inform strategic decisions.
- Comfortable working with agile practices and use customer data to understand user needs, product performance and customer value.
- Experience working in regulated or compliance-heavy environments and can navigate governance and risk constraints without losing strategic momentum.
- Fluency in Spanish and at least upper intermediate English.
- Ability to thrive in ambiguous, client-facing environments, move initiatives forward, make smart assumptions and drive progress without a clear brief.
- Strong analytical and synthesis skills and can break down complex, unstructured problems into clear strategic directions.
- Effective communicator and facilitator who can translate complex business and technical concepts into clear, impactful messaging for diverse stakeholder audiences.
Nice to Have
- Passion and perseverance for creating best in class products that deliver outstanding customer and business value.
- Enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, particularly Design Researchers and Product Engineers, to align around hypotheses and drive discovery to outcome.
