Product Managers ensure that products are fulfilling their primary purpose to enable users to perform tasks that create value for the company. Product managers have two broad areas of responsibility:​ 

• Setting strategic vision for the product to ensure the customer and their needs are at the center; and ensuring team priorities are supporting business outcomes for customer, product, technical and enabling teams. This requires continual alignment of the product strategy and objectives with customer, product, technical, and enabling teams​ 

• Managing the product backlog, which prioritizes the work of the assigned squads, to achieve the vision and aligned strategy.​ 

To successfully manage these areas of responsibility, product managers must have a deep understanding of the product domain, related technology, and architecture.​ 

Enterprise Product Managers drive strategy and execution for a complex ecosystem of digital products that cross multiple workflows, technical platforms, and business units. 

YOUR TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: 

Product Management​ 

• The product manager is accountable for the overall success of a product throughout its lifecycle, from conception to decommissioning. They identify domain needs, develop, and validate product concepts, and build a business case. They oversee the product's build and launch, including any sourced services; as well as ensure product availability, stability, and compliance needs are met. Product managers collaborate with various teams, including product development, marketing, finance, legal, manufacturing, operations, and sales, as needed, to ensure cohesive progress and success.​ 

• Product Managers drive agile best practices with the team to improve delivery, including continuous planning ahead of each development cycle (e.g. sprint planning) and working together to co-create user stories aligned with the product backlog prioritization. In addition to guiding the team product managers have duties like market opportunity identification, competitive analysis, sales enablement, or monitoring domain performance.​ ​ 

Stakeholder Engagement​ 

• It is vital for the product manager to identify their key stakeholder group. Though many strong and loud opinions will be expressed, an effective product manager uses discretion to deliver their product in a way that meets the needs of users and stakeholders who will ensure value is realized for Bayer. Stakeholders should trust that the product manager not only understands their needs but will actively work to ensure their needs are met while delivering the product. ​ ​ 

Product Strategy​ 

• The product manager must provide strategic leadership with full end-to-end ownership for their assigned products throughout the entire product lifecycle. They are responsible for planning and optimizing capabilities to deliver business outcomes in the most efficient way. Product managers require strong strategic planning, decision making, and influencing skills to balance the needs of users and various stakeholders.​ ​ 

Product Discovery & Delivery​ 

• The product manager is responsible for creating comprehensive product roadmaps, to clarify user needs and non-functional requirements. They provide product oversight by tracking and reporting progress against 90-day outcomes and overall product health (including budget responsibilities). They also plan and manage product delivery while streamlining the corresponding backlog. Product managers are responsible for monitoring user feedback and metrics to co-create solutions that drive a better user experience and deliver more business value. They leverage Design Thinking methodology starting with user needs to prioritize problems and through discovery they perform usability, feasibility, business fit and value testing to determine the optimal solution.​ ​ 

People & Collaboration​ 

• Product managers must proactively communicate and collaborate with product users and stakeholders, which requires strong strategic communication skills. Effective cross-functional collaboration is critical for product managers, bringing together diverse skills and knowledge to deliver a valuable product. It's important to maintain strong and productive working relationships with colleagues in product management, engineering, and other technically focused organizations. Product managers are also responsible for mentoring more junior product managers to improve product management and agile practices across the community. 

Key Working Relations: 

• Engineers (Software/Data/etc.)​ 

• UX Researchers & Designers 

• Data Scientists​ 

• Other Product Managers​ 

• Relevant business leaders and stakeholders
