• Translate platform needs and enterprise customer requirements into scalable solutions that serve cross-solution teams

• Partner with engineering and UX to guide technical planning, architecture discussions, and execution

• Lead product discovery efforts with stakeholders across Workiva—including compliance, security, GTM, and customer experience

• Influence cross-product and cross-pillar priorities to ensure admin capabilities align with platform strategy and customer outcomes

• Guide product definition, prioritize feature development, and make trade-off decisions that balance usability, performance, and technical risk

• Serve as a mentor and thought partner to other PMs, helping to shape best practices and product culture

• Represent your product area to leadership and stakeholders, communicating vision, progress, and outcomes clearly

• Strong communication skills—able to navigate ambiguity, drive alignment, and clearly articulate trade-offs and outcomes

• Experience with admin-facing products or platform services in a multi-tenant SaaS environment

• Background in authentication, authorization, audit logging, or compliance-related tooling

• Familiarity with enterprise requirements and user models (e.g., RBAC, delegated access, policy controls)

• Experience with product analytics, data-driven decision making, and experimentation

• Comfortable working with legal, security, and compliance teams to support regulated customer environments
