What the job involves
- Workiva is seeking a Lead Product Manager to shape and drive the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of key platform capabilities within our Admin Pillar—the core services that power user and organization management, compliance, security, and scalability across Workiva's multi-tenant SaaS platform
- In this role, you’ll take ownership of a critical product area that sits at the intersection of platform architecture, enterprise customer needs, and cross-solution enablement
- From access controls and audit logging to admin experience and organizational policy enforcement, your work will help define how Workiva’s platform scales with trust, flexibility, and ease of use
- You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, UX, security, compliance, customer-facing teams, and product leaders across the business to ensure we’re building resilient, user-friendly capabilities that serve both our internal teams and our largest enterprise customers
- Define and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for one or more core capabilities in the Admin Pillar
- Translate platform needs and enterprise customer requirements into scalable solutions that serve cross-solution teams
- Partner with engineering and UX to guide technical planning, architecture discussions, and execution
- Lead product discovery efforts with stakeholders across Workiva—including compliance, security, GTM, and customer experience
- Influence cross-product and cross-pillar priorities to ensure admin capabilities align with platform strategy and customer outcomes
- Guide product definition, prioritize feature development, and make trade-off decisions that balance usability, performance, and technical risk
- Serve as a mentor and thought partner to other PMs, helping to shape best practices and product culture
- Represent your product area to leadership and stakeholders, communicating vision, progress, and outcomes clearly
