The Role

As a Staff Product Manager for GM's next-generation in-vehicle experience (IVX), you will play a dual role:

First, you will act as a platform product leader for core elements of the shared in-vehicle experience - helping define the product direction, requirements, and evolution of system-level UI capabilities used across vehicle programs.

Second, you willrepresentthe end-to-end in-vehicle experience in partnership with vehicle programs, ensuring the hardware and digital experience come together as one integrated product customers canimmediatelyunderstand, trust, and value.

The role is accountable not only for defining shared platform capabilities, but also for ensuring those capabilities come together within vehicle programs as a cohesive customer product across hardware, software, and cabin experience.

This is not a pure portfolio strategy role, and it is not a narrowfeaturePM role. It is a senior individual contributor role for a product manager who canoperateat the platform level while also working across real vehicle programs to ensure the full experience is coherent, intentional, and executable.

You will report to the Director of Product Management and work closely with Design, Engineering, Program Management, and vehicle teams across GM.

WhatYou'llDo

Platform Product Leadership - Core System UI & Shared Experience Foundations

• Own and shape product direction for key shared elements of GM's in-vehicle experience platform.

• Define and evolve product requirements for core system UI capabilities, interaction patterns, and cross-surface experiences that span multiple displays and input modalities.

• Partner closely with platform PM, design, and engineering counterparts to ensure shared foundations are scalable, usable, and flexible enough to support multiple vehicle programs and brand expressions.

• Help drive clarity on what should be standardized at the platform level versus where intentional variation is required by vehicle, segment, or brand.

• Contribute to the long-term experience architecture for the digital cockpit, including how information, controls, system behaviors, and customer touchpoints work together across the vehicle.

Vehicle Program Integration - Cohesive End-to-End Experience

• Represent the in-vehicle experience in partnership with vehicle programs to ensure the hardware and digital product come together cohesively.

• Work across vehicle programs and segments to translate shared platform capabilities into complete customer experiences that feel integrated across screens, controls, cabin architecture, and key moments of use.

• Ensure product decisions account for the full customer experience, not just what appears on screen - including the relationship between display layout, physical controls, cabin context, and driver or passenger expectations.

• Partner with vehicle teams toidentifywhere program-specific needs should inform platform evolution, and where platform consistency should be preserved.

• Connect platform strategy to a compelling vehicle experience.

Execution & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Act as aproductDRI across your scope, driving alignment and execution with Design, Engineering, Program Management, and vehicle stakeholders.

• Represent product decisions in leadership reviews, design reviews, and cross-functional working sessions.

• Work within GM's vehicle development cadence, aligning product requirements, experience decisions, design maturity, and software milestones with program timing.

• Identifyand manage risks acrossplatform, software, hardware, and vehicle dependencies.

• Balance tradeoffs across customer value, brand expression, technical feasibility, regulatory requirements, and delivery timing.

Customer Insight & Product Strategy

• Use customer research, market analysis, competitive benchmarking, and product intuition to shape the in-vehicle experience strategy.

• Help define what great looks like for future in-vehicle experiences across areas such as personalization, voice interaction, driver-assistanceUX, system intelligence, and display experiences.

• Represent the voice of the customer in cross-functional forums while grounding decisions in real constraints and platform realities.

• When data is incomplete, define learning plans through research, experiments, and instrumentation to improve decision quality over time.
