They work at the intersection of technology, mapping, and business to ensure GIS products meet user needs and organization goals.

Throughout the product development lifecycle, GIS Product Managers lead roadmap planning sessions, oversee project timelines, and coordinate testing and feedback loops to refine the product. This collaborative approach ensures that the final GIS solutions meet user needs and align with business objectives.
