Position Overview
The AI Marketplace team is seeking a Technical Product Manager to support growth, adoption, analytics, expansion, and automation across the Optum AI Marketplace. This role will partner with product, engineering, design, analytics, operations, sales, partner teams, security, and platform stakeholders to translate marketplace needs into clear requirements, prioritize work, and support delivery from discovery through launch.
The ideal candidate has experience with technical products, platforms, APIs, marketplace experiences, developer experiences, analytics, or enterprise technology capabilities. They can break down complex problems, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and help drive execution across teams. This role is focused on improving how buyers, partners, sellers, and developers discover, evaluate, subscribe to, onboard, use, and expand adoption of API and software products through scalable, self-service marketplace experiences. Experience with API commercialization, growth funnels, onboarding automation, reporting, operational workflows, or developer platforms is valuable, but this role is primarily focused on execution, delivery support, continuous improvement, and measurable marketplace outcomes.
Primary Responsibilities:

• Own and execute product work for assigned AI Marketplace capabilities, including discovery, requirements, prioritization, delivery support, launch readiness, and stakeholder alignment.

• Convert business objectives, user pain points, partner needs, analytics insights, operational constraints, and platform dependencies into clear requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and priority decisions.

• Drive growth and adoption initiatives that improve how buyers, partners, sellers, and developers discover, evaluate, try, buy, onboard, and use AI Marketplace products.

• Use marketplace metrics, funnel analysis, support trends, user feedback, and operational data to identify opportunities to improve conversion, activation, engagement, retention, expansion, and self-service success.

• Support marketplace expansion needs, including new product offerings, API and software packaging, multi-product experiences, partner onboarding, pricing or subscription workflows, and commercialization enablement.

• Partner with engineering, design, analytics, operations, sales, security, identity, API platform, and business teams to sequence dependencies, assess risks, and drive release quality gates.

• Support automation and process improvements that reduce manual work, improve onboarding consistency, increase operational throughput, and create more scalable marketplace workflows.

• Communicate product direction, tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, decisions, and delivery progress clearly with cross-functional stakeholders and leadership.

• Contribute to documentation, repeatable processes, reporting, release readiness, and cross-team alignment for assigned marketplace capabilities.

• Apply AI product management tools and practices to improve requirements quality, documentation, prioritization, analysis, and collaboration.

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear directions on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
