Responsibilities:
  • One part Product Management and one-part Technical Business Development. You will be the bridge between Platform and Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, bringing experts across Product Management and Engineering to the table to solve problems addressing customer's needs.
  • You will bridge domain-specific requirements from Infrastructure Cloud with Platform technology and priorities.
  • Ride closely with the Infrastructure Clouds team, deeply understanding their objectives, needs, motivations, and constraints to enable you to create value for them. You will translate these to actionable Platform product requirements.
  • Provide input on segmentation of capabilities between Platform and first-party products by evaluating its potential for broad third-party adoption and whether it fits appropriately in the deeper layers of Bentley's tech stack.
  • Facilitate alignment for a diverging set of inputs and people to converge on strong bought-in decisions that benefit Bentley and our customers.
  • Traditional product management for Platform's products and services that closely align with Infrastructure Cloud.

  • Requires sitting or standing at will while performing work on a computer (or any other physical requirements).

Qualifications:
  • 10+ years of product management or business development experience, preferably working on highly technical software projects in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry or similar domains.
  • A strong track record of driving significant and sustained long-term customer or partner success.
  • Credible to a world-class engineering team. You are tech savvy and understand the business impact of our technology.
  • You obsess over priorities, creating impact, and constantly test them against customer needs, strategy, and objectives.
  • You lead through influence by guiding stakeholders toward shared outcomes without relying on organizational hierarchy or positional power.
  • Fantastic communication skills and interpersonal savvy. You can communicate with executive leadership as well as you can with engineers.
  • This role will require frequent travel and time zone management as part of a global team.
