Job Description

What You’ll Be Doing:

PMT’s guide our teams to build the right products at the right time, enabling Cruise to launch self-driving vehicles at scale. At Cruise, PMTs are responsible for defining the “what” and “why”, to ensure we capture requirements and build the right products for our internal and external customers. In this role, you will be expected to:

• Develop the Product Vision, Strategy, and Roadmaps - PMTs obsess over their customers. They craft compelling narratives that distill opposing needs, provide comprehensive solutions, and align diverse partners. They focus on impact and outcomes, over pure output.

• Deploy Critical Thinking - PMTs think big and dive deep, relative to the situation. They balance trade-offs to improve value to the company. They seek to understand before proposing solutions, especially when the path forward is unclear.

• Lead Prioritization - PMTs should drive high quality decisions efficiently, and (re-)prioritize tenaciously. They create a bias towards action for themselves and their teams. They deliver results, going above and beyond to do so.

• Engage with Customers - PMTs collect, lead, and discover new opportunities to delight our customers. They act in a critical role as the primary advocate for and voice of the customer.

• Partner with Leadership - PMTs build consensus, in all types of situations. They earn trust with their customers, teams, and partners. They inspire others to greatness and lead by example.

• Demonstrate Strong Technical Skills - PMTs build and maintain technical understanding of their domains. They can discuss technical trade-offs on systems, and are able to absorb new or unfamiliar context quickly. They understand technical decisions and impacts that the team has made.
