A Senior Product Manager owns larger, more complex products/features or a portfolio of smaller features that are essential to the business in terms of continuity or strategic value. A Senior Product Manager may lead multiple development teams and meaningfully influence the work of teams outside of their immediate control.A Senior Product manager regularly deals with situations with sizable organisational complexity, where aligning strategies and priorities across teams is critical. A Senior Product Manager is able to clearly understand, articulate and size user and product problems by using a wide range qualitative and quantitative insights. These insights drive the long-term vision and strategy for a product/feature or portfolio of products that achieves significant impact.
