The transformative platform uses cutting-edge technology, big data, machine learning, and AI to seamlessly bring together OEMs, retailers/dealers and consumers.

Tekion employs close to 3,000 people across North America, Asia and Europe.
Role Overview
This is an individual contributor role requiring strong product instincts, technical fluency, and the ability to operate autonomously across the full delivery lifecycle. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in a whiteboard session defining a solution and in a sprint review tracking execution details
Expectations
Own the intake, prioritization, and end-to-end product delivery of AEC platform requirements driven by OEM program teams. This role works closely with AEC platform product and engineering stakeholders to ensure solutions are scalable and reusable, while partnering with program teams to translate OEM needs into clear requirements and execution-ready work items.
Key Responsibilities
· Consolidate and prioritize platform asks across OEM programs with program leadership; manage tradeoffs and release scope
· Define solutions and author high-quality PRDs covering scope, workflows, data contracts, acceptance criteria, and rollout; create and manage epics and stories in the tracking system
· Drive cross-team solution alignment; identify dependencies early and secure commitments
· Lead grooming with engineering, QA, and TPMs to obtain estimates, sequencing, and risk/dependency tracking; ensure release readiness
· Track execution through release, escalate blockers, and maintain clear stakeholder communication
· Post-release: monitor outcomes, triage issues versus enhancements, and feed learnings back into the roadmap
Ideal Candidate
Must-haves: 7+ years in enterprise SaaS PM, strong PRD writing skills, executive stakeholder management, platform architecture fluency, and experience leading engineering grooming independently.
Strong plus: Automotive retail or DMS experience, familiarity with OEM-dealer dynamics, exposure to Tekion AEC or comparable platforms.
Key Hire Signal
This person must be able to design solutions and write PRDs that survive expert review without needing platform PMs in the room. If they rely on collaborative grooming to refine requirements, they will create bottlenecks in the delivery cycle.
