We are seeking a Product Manager to own the strategy, roadmap, commercial model, and growth of Xylem Data Lake (XDL), Xylem’s AMI-native analytics platform.

This role goes beyond traditional backlog management.

• Own and evolve XDL’s commercial packaging, positioning, pricing, and value proposition across its product tiers.
• Connect roadmap and investment decisions to revenue, margin, adoption, retention, cost-to-serve, and competitive differentiation.
• Build a strong Voice of Customer approach, using customer feedback, usage data, support trends, and field insights to prioritize investments.
• Shape how analytics and AI capabilities, including natural-language analytics, agentic AI, proactive monitoring, and anomaly detection, create measurable value for customers.
• Improve the end-to-end customer experience, including implementation, data onboarding, security reviews, reporting, support, and ongoing adoption.
• Partner across Sales, Engineering, Customer Success, Professional Services, Support, Security, Legal, and leadership to drive alignment and execution.
• Define and track meaningful measures of product and business performance.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience with B2B technology, SaaS, analytics, data platforms, IoT, or enterprise software.

• Experience translating complex customer problems into scalable product solutions.
• Experience using Voice of Customer, usage data, and market insights to influence product direction.
• Working knowledge of cloud data platforms, analytics, APIs and integrations, data quality, security, and AI/ML concepts.
• Experience partnering with engineering teams on technical trade-offs and build-versus-buy decisions.
• Proven ability to influence and align cross-functional teams in a matrixed organization.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts for different audiences.

Requirements
