The Technical Product Lead will bridge Product, Engineering, and GTM teams, translate customer needs into technical requirements, and manage global product roadmaps.
About Foxit
Foxit is a global leader in PDF and digital document software—powering over 700 million users and hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide. As we expand our SaaS platform and evolve our customer-centric product strategy, we’re building a new generation of product leadership.
This is a founding Technical Product Manager role, created to bridge the gap between Product, Go-to-Market, and Engineering teams across continents. You’ll shape how Foxit listens, translates, and delivers for customers at global scale.
The Opportunity
You’ll serve as the technical heartbeat of our global product organization—connecting real customer feedback from our Alpharetta GTM teams and enterprise clients directly to our engineering centers in China and Asia-Pacific.
Fluent in both English and Mandarin, you’ll ensure nothing is lost in translation—from nuanced customer pain points to detailed developer requirements. You’ll turn ambiguity into clarity, accelerate decision-making, and drive high-impact product outcomes.
Initially, you’ll own the Foxit Editor platform roadmap. Over time, your remit will expand to other Foxit SaaS products as business priorities evolve.
What You’ll Do
• Be the founding technical bridge across global teams—aligning Product, Engineering, and GTM functions around a shared roadmap.
• Translate enterprise customer needs (captured by Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success) into clear, technically feasible requirements for our China-based engineering teams.
• Communicate in Mandarin with developers to ensure accuracy, context, and priority alignment—closing feedback loops faster and reducing misinterpretation.
• Partner with Engineering & Architecture to validate technical feasibility, manage trade-offs, and influence design decisions.
• Work side-by-side with GTM teams in Alpharetta to surface key customer insights and turn them into product improvements.
• Define success metrics, lead release planning, and champion post-launch measurement to ensure real customer impact.
• Build scalable frameworks for cross-regional communication, ensuring the next generation of Foxit products are truly global in design and delivery.
What You’ll Bring
• 7+ years in SaaS Product Management, Technical PM, or Platform PM roles.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
• Fluency in both English and Mandarin (verbal & written) — must be able to communicate technical detail to developers in Mandarin.
• Strong technical acumen: APIs, SDKs, cloud architecture, data flow, agile methods.
• Proven ability to translate between customer needs and engineering realities.
• Experience working with globally distributed teams and bridging cultural and time-zone divides.
• Willingness to travel regularly to Alpharetta (~1 week/month).
Nice to Have:
• Experience with document workflow, PDF editing, or SaaS developer tools.
• Background in software engineering or technical architecture.
• Experience supporting GTM and product alignment across US + APAC.
Why This Role Matters
This is not just a job—it’s an opportunity to define a new capability at Foxit.
You’ll:
• Be the founding member shaping how Foxit’s global product organization integrates GTM and engineering.
• Build bilingual, bi-continental collaboration models that scale.
• Influence strategic priorities, roadmap decisions, and customer experience across the full product lifecycle.
You’ll be joining a company where innovation meets execution—and you’ll sit right at the intersection of both.
