At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time; others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.
This is a remote position, so you’ll be working remotely from your home. You may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or meetings.
Join our team…
GoDaddy’s strategy is to empower everyday entrepreneurs to launch and grow their ventures through the power of our community and global scale. To do this effectively, we must build and enhance a scalable platform that delivers the capabilities our customers need. As a Principal Platform Product Manager, you’ll play a critical role in accomplishing this mission by collaborating with Product and Engineering teams to document customer and business needs, then design and build capabilities that meet these needs. You’ll serve as a technical Product Manager for backend Platform Capabilities, guiding Engineering teams through platform implementation and encouraging adoption of these capabilities across the organization. This role is perfect for someone who celebrates each step our teams take toward a “One System” Mindset by promoting the adoption and reuse of platform capabilities to reduce silos and waste.

- Build a 3+ year roadmap for Platform Capabilities that includes project plans, requirements, dependency maps, and cost models.
- Guide other Engineering teams through technical adoption of the Platform Capabilities you create and communicate progress to Leadership through written and in-person updates.
- Drive continual improvements in functionality, ease of use, performance, and cost by using experimentation and data to guide your decisions.

- Proven ability to build multi-year roadmaps, manage dependencies across teams, and communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
