Responsibilities
Define the North Star: Craft and evangelize a cohesive product vision that unifies our diverse portfolio - Commercial Services (RAC/FMC), Government Solutions (Safety/Enforcement), and T2 Systems (Parking) - into a seamless "One Verra" ecosystem
Shift to Outcome-Based Roadmaps: Transition the organization away from sales-led feature lists to problem-based roadmaps. You will ensure teams are measured by business outcomes (e.g., reducing churn, increasing adoption, driving margin expansion) rather than just shipping code on dates
Portfolio Management: rigorous management of the investment portfolio, making hard decisions to "sunset" legacy products (e.g., legacy e-commerce portals) to fund high-growth "stars" and "moonshots" like Connected Vehicle services and immersive curbside management
Institutionalize the Product Operating Model: Build upon the foundation of Project Catalyst. Ensure the "Product Trio" structure (PM, Engineering Lead, Design Lead) becomes the standard unit of delivery, fostering true collaboration rather than siloed hand-offs
Talent Development: obsess over the quality of the product team. You will recruit, coach, and retain "bar-raising" talent, specifically addressing the need to elevate Product Design to a strategic peer of Engineering and Product Management
Cultural Change Agent: Navigate the "corporate immune system" to shift the culture from "mercenary" (order-taking) to "missionary" (problem-solving). You will bridge the gap between our historic operational excellence and our future innovation needs
Platform Modernization: Partner with the CTO to oversee the strategic migration from legacy monolithic systems (e.g., FlexPort, Axsis legacy) to modern, microservices-based platforms (UNIFI, Mosaic) that increase agility and reduce customer acquisition costs
Discovery-First Mindset: Instill a culture of continuous product discovery. Ensure teams are validating value, usability, feasibility, and viability before writing code, minimizing waste on failed initiatives
Governance: Lead the Quarterly Product Business Review (QPBR) process to provide executive visibility into product health, strategic alignment, and outcome metrics, replacing bureaucratic status checks with high-context strategic alignment
Qualification
Required
15+ years of product leadership experience, with at least 5 years at the C-level or VP level in a medium-to-large public software or technology-enabled services company
Demonstrated success in transforming legacy organizations into modern product operating models (specifically experience with Cagan-style empowered teams). You have a playbook for moving teams from waterfall/project mindsets to agile/product mindsets
Experience in complex B2B/B2G environments, IoT, Smart City, or FinTech is highly preferred. You understand how to innovate in high-compliance, hardware-enabled environments where software interacts with the physical world (cameras, tolling infrastructure, vehicles)
Ability to speak the language of the C-Suite and Board. You understand how to connect product outcomes (NPS, task completion rates) to financial outcomes (EBITDA expansion, ARR growth, CAC reduction)
While not an engineer, you possess a deep understanding of modern platform architecture (APIs, microservices, cloud migration) and can partner effectively with Engineering leadership to pay down technical debt while delivering new value
Exceptional soft skills and resilience. You are capable of driving alignment across distinct Business Units (Government, Commercial, T2) and functional partners (Sales, GR, Operations) to deliver a unified customer experience
Preferred
Experience in complex B2B/B2G environments, IoT, Smart City, or FinTech is highly preferred
