Sr. Product Manager – Planning & Development Controls (Remote)

Description

• Define and track success metrics for planning-driven features.
• Confirm feasibility and correctness of development control logic before engineering starts.
• Collaborate with engineers on data models, rule engines, GIS layers, map interactions and multi-jurisdiction logic.
• Work with design and engineering to create intuitive flows that help users understand planning requirements without being overwhelmed.
• Own the roadmap for features driven by planning rules, zoning, overlays, setbacks, envelopes and development controls.
• Write clear acceptance criteria that map directly to rule conditions, exceptions and overlays.
• Ensure rules are implemented correctly and remain maintainable as regulations evolve.
• Interpret planning schemes, building codes and council policies and convert them into structured logic, conditions and workflows.
• Validate feasibility of “smart workflows”.

• Strong ability to interpret planning schemes, zoning maps, overlays, building codes and development control plans.
• Own documentation that explains how planning rules map to product behavior.
• Strong ownership mindset and ability to operate independently while aligning cross-functional teams.
• Clear and concise communication skills, especially when simplifying technical rules.
• 4+ years of Product Management experience in SaaS, GIS, AEC, prop tech or related technical environments.
