Product Manager

Solen Software Group invites a Product Manager to lead Cooperative Technologies in a fully remote, high-visibility role. You will own a revenue-generating product in a focused vertical, define the AI and technical roadmap, and directly guide client onboarding. This position offers substantial autonomy, mentorship through a transitioning technical team, and opportunities to influence across strategy, development, and client engagement within Solen’s portfolio network.

Benefits

• Full ownership of a revenue-generating product in a specialized vertical, not a support role on a larger platform team.
• Mentorship from a retiring technical team handing over responsibilities to the next generation.
• A broad, generalist scope that encompasses strategy, product development, and client-facing work in one role.
• Exposure to the Solen Software Group portfolio company network and operating model.
• OTE compensation of USD 140,000 to 180,000 per year.
