Lead Product Manager

Tekion is a cloud-native automotive technology company providing platforms that connect automotive manufacturers, retailers, dealers, technology partners, and consumers. The Lead Product Manager will own and evolve the Smart Retail digital sales experience, leading product discovery, delivery, roadmap development, customer engagement, and go-to-market decisions for dealer-assisted commerce.

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve your assigned product within the Smart Retail Suite, from requirements through discovery, delivery, and continuous improvement, with the in-store salesperson and deal-making experience as your primary focus and the online/remote journey as a connected second surface
• Serve as a primary, customer-facing product point of contact for dealers and dealer groups, leading working sessions, roadmap reviews, and value conversations, and carrying credibility on the sales floor through real automotive and digital retailing expertise
• Own the business side of the product: shape go-to-market tracks and drive the business decisions around positioning, packaging, launch, and adoption that determine whether the product wins in-market
• Partner closely with the GTM team, Sales, Product Marketing, and Customer Success, to align product, pricing, and messaging, and to translate dealer value into a compelling commercial story
• Lead deep discovery on the showroom floor: spend time with salespeople, sales managers, and F&I managers, observe how deals actually happen, and turn what you learn into clear, prioritized requirements
• Translate dealer and consumer needs into well-scoped product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria, balancing individual requests against broader platform strategy and scalability
