Detailed responsibilities include:
The Product Manager is the mini-CEO of their product/offer. They analyze customer environment, market and competitive conditions and lay out product vision that solves the market problem and delivers value to the customer. They will do this by defining the ‘why’, ‘what,’ ‘where’, and ‘when’ of the product that the development team will build. They are the owner of their product -- which means they lead cross-functional teams from a product's conception through to its launch. Their responsibilities will span many activities from strategic to tactical and provide cross-functional leadership — bridging gaps within the company between different functions, especially between development, supply chain, finance, sales and marketing, and service and support. Post-launch, product managers monitor their portfolio and identify and implement actions to boost the performance of the portfolio. This includes sunsetting products if required.
