Product Manager - Reality Mapping Capabilities

Overview

Reality mapping enables organizations to gain a deeper understanding of the world by empowering them to create their own accurate and up-to-date content from various sources, imagery, and remotely sensed data, thereby extracting insights and creating immersive experiences, such as Digital Twins.

As a product manager, you’ll have the opportunity to help define and release great products that provide valuable solutions to our users while driving the growth of Esri as an organization. You’ll serve as an expert in the reality mapping market, focusing on identifying market opportunities and user needs through market research, interacting with customers, and reviewing the competitive landscape. Then, working closely with software product development and other stakeholders, you’ll develop a roadmap to illustrate the vision and key deliverables for the product(s) you are responsible for.

In addition, you will ensure alignment of teams across the organization, creating cohesiveness of Esri’s product story and ensuring the success of your product(s).
