Job Purpose

This role also plays a critical organizational leadership function by interfacing regularly with senior leadership, aligning stakeholders around priorities and tradeoffs, and helping create the conditions for the engineering team to stay focused on execution. In this capacity, the Product Manager serves as an internal voice of the customer for the CygNet engineering team, ensuring they have the context, clarity, prioritization, and organizational support needed to do their best work.
