Product Manager (New Product Development)

OVERVIEW OnTrac is seeking a hands-on Product Manager to join a modern product team building cloud-native applications on Google Cloud Platform. This is a builder's role, not an oversight role. You will own the backlog, write the stories, sit with engineers and designers every day, and decide what gets built next based on evidence from real users.

You start from the user and the outcome, not the process. You are as comfortable in a Jira ticket, a Figma file, or a query against product data as you are in front of a client sponsor. When a story is unclear, you rewrite it.

When an engineer is blocked on a decision, you make it. When a release ships, you check whether it worked. The ideal candidate is curious, decisive, technically fluent, and accountable.

You structure ambiguous problems, form and test hypotheses, and lead with the answer. You take full ownership of what the team ships, escalate early with a recommendation attached, and never wait to be asked. This is not a program management or portfolio oversight role.

We are looking for someone who is in the weeds of one product with one team, day in and day out. ENGAGEMENT • Expected start date: as soon as possible • Location: Chicago, IL or United States remote • You must be located in, and authorized to work in, the United States for the full duration of the engagement PRIMARY DUTIES These duties are representative rather than exhaustive. • Backlog Ownership: Own the product backlog end to end.
