Principal Business Program Manager, Tools Global Product Lead (GPL)

Own a Tools / TrueCRM domain or domain cluster as the accountable business owner, connecting seller workflow pain, product capability, landing, adoption, and business impact. Build a prioritized, evidence-backed problem backlog using field signal, seller feedback, usage data, support patterns, revenue impact, cycle-time friction, and qualitative examples.

Create crisp problem-first briefs and business requirements that help Product and Engineering make high-quality roadmap decisions without over-prescribing user-interface solutions. Partner with Product, Engineering, data-platform, Sales Readiness, Enablement, PMM, FSE, and Support to move capabilities from validated problem to launch, adoption, and steady-state handoff.

Define success metrics before build, including baseline, target, adoption signal, workflow completion, seller trust, quality, cycle time, and business-outcome measures. Stay LOB-agnostic across Search, DNV, and Gaming while remaining segment-aware across SMB, Managed, and D&E / Gaming motions. Identify cross-domain dependencies across planning, account hierarchy, opportunity management, deal economics, reporting, engagement, support, and agentic workflow capabilities.

Help mature the GPL operating system, including domain scorecards, decision logs, intake quality, launch readiness, measurement reviews, and partner handoff practices. Communicate clearly with senior stakeholders on tradeoffs, priorities, risks, business impact, and decisions needed.
