About the role

This is not a single-product role.
You will own three distinct but connected product lines — and make sure they don’t just exist, but actually work together, scale, and win in the market.

API Platform (core business, high-impact, revenue-driving)

Mobility Platform (IITS) (government-led deployments + enterprise use cases)

Navigation Product (Google Maps-based solution)

You’ll sit right in the middle of tech, business, and market reality — translating vision into execution.
What You’ll Own
1. Product Strategy & Roadmap

Define and drive the roadmap across all three product lines

Prioritize features based on real market needs (not internal assumptions)

Align product direction with business goals and revenue opportunities

2. Market & Domain Understanding

Bring strong exposure to traffic monitoring / mobility / smart city ecosystems

Track market trends, competitors, and regulatory shifts (especially in public sector ecosystems)

Validate product-market fit continuously through real-world feedback

3. Execution & Cross-Functional Leadership

Act as the bridge between engineering, business, and stakeholders

Translate business requirements into clear product specs and tech requirements

Work closely with engineering teams to ensure timely and scalable delivery

4. Stakeholder & Client Engagement

Work with government entities, enterprise clients, and internal leadership

Handle high-stakes conversations with clarity and confidence

Ensure product direction aligns with client expectations and deployment realities

5. Documentation & Communication

Own business-level documentation: PRDs, roadmaps, use cases, and proposals

Communicate complex ideas in a simple, structured way

Bring clarity when things get messy (because they will)

What We’re Looking For

6–10 years in Product Management / Product Leadership

Strong experience in traffic monitoring, mobility tech, ITS, or smart city ecosystems

Proven ability to manage multiple products simultaneously

Experience working with APIs and platform-based products

Strong understanding of government or enterprise deployments

Excellent communication — both written and verbal

Ability to move between strategy and execution without getting lost in either

Comfortable working in ambiguity and building structure where none exists

What Will Set You Apart

Experience with navigation systems / geospatial products / Google Maps integrations

Exposure to public sector projects or smart city initiatives

Strong commercial thinking — not just product, but business impact
