Lead product strategy, architecture, and execution for a core platform component, collaborating across engineering, AI/ML, research, and design teams. | 7+ years in product management, 4+ years in technical/platform roles, deep technical fluency, proven experience shipping platform products, and strong cross-functional leadership. | Overview About the Role & Team IDC is building the next generation of intelligent, AI-powered platforms that transform how technology decisions get made. This confidential initiative re-imagines the way decision-makers discover and interact with trusted research and data—and will be foundational to IDC’s future. We are looking for a remote Principal Product Manager – Technical (PM-T) to lead the product strategy, architecture, and execution for a core pillar of this new platform. You will operate as the single-threaded owner for a critical domain, working across engineering, AI/ML, research, and design to deliver a seamless and scalable product experience. This role is a rare opportunity to define the strategy for a zero-to-one system—shaping how content is modeled, how user intents are recognized, and how insights flow across the IDC ecosystem. The right candidate will bring deep technical fluency, customer obsession, and a track record of delivering high-impact platform products in fast-paced environments. What You’ll Do Own the product vision, long-term strategy, and roadmap for a foundational capability within IDC’s next-gen discovery platform. Define the data models, technical architecture, and platform interfaces that power intelligent, context-aware product experiences. Partner with engineering to design and deliver scalable APIs, system components, and observability layers that enable extensibility and reuse. Collaborate with AI/ML teams to integrate capabilities such as semantic search, LLM-powered assistants, personalization, and classification systems. Write PRFAQs and technical narratives that align senior leadership, drive clarity across functions, and accelerate high-judgment decisions. Engage directly with CIOs, analysts, and vendor partners to validate pain points and iterate toward product-market fit. Define success metrics, build telemetry strategies, and use experimentation to drive continuous learning and iteration. Serve as the single-threaded owner for your domain, mentoring others and raising the quality bar across the organization. What You Bring 7+ years of product management experience, with 4+ years in a technical or platform product role. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent technical experience. Proven track record of shipping 0→2 products or scaling platform capabilities in ambiguous, high-accountability environments. Deep technical fluency—you can meaningfully shape architecture, API design, and system trade-offs with engineering teams. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; able to influence VP- and SVP-level stakeholders. Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives that span engineering, data science, design, and research. Strong business and customer orientation; experience driving adoption, engagement, and measurable business outcomes. Preferred Qualifications: Experience building or scaling AI/ML-powered products, especially involving search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or entity extraction. End-to-end digital fulfillment experience and digital product-like growth systems experience, a plus. Familiarity with knowledge graph design, semantic modeling, or enterprise data platforms. Background working with structured research, metadata systems, or content syndication at scale. Experience with enterprise SaaS, developer platforms, or B2B intelligence solutions. Ability to operate autonomously, manage ambiguity, and influence outcomes in a matrixed organization. Why This Role Stands Out At IDC, your work helps shape how the world understands technology and where it goes next. You collaborate with curious, high-caliber colleagues who value rigor, integrity, and shared success. As the premier global provider of trusted technology intelligence, IDC equips business and technology leaders with the evidence they need to make confident decisions. Our insights inform strategy, investment, and innovation across industries and regions.
