YOUR IMPACT

The Principal Product Manager (Professional Services) is responsible for the design, development, commercialization, and lifecycle management of a portfolio of packaged Professional Services offerings. This standardized services catalogue of fixed-scope packages, deployment accelerators, and upgrade and migration paths, spans the entire customer lifecycle, from initial deployment, through functional extensions, upgrades, and cloud transformation journeys. This role will be responsible for defining the value proposition, delivery model, and commercialization framework for their offers, bridging Product Management, Sales, Presales, Delivery, and GTM teams. As customers accelerate the transition from traditional on-premises licenses to modern cloud subscriptions, they will translate OpenText’s enterprise solutions into repeatable, high-value packaged services that drive rapid time-to-value and make it easier to position our value.
