Forward Deployed Product Manager

Join LotusFlare as a Forward Deployed Product Manager (FDPM), a high-impact role that positions you at the intersection of external clients, strategic business objectives, and internal platform engineering teams. As an FDPM, you will be embedded directly within a client's environment, uncovering operational bottlenecks, defining platform solutions, and driving deployment velocity. You will act as the primary interface with senior client stakeholders, lead technical alignment workshops, and drive high-velocity tactical sprint execution. This role requires a unique blend of technical product management, data strategy, solution architecture, and execution leadership.

• Proactively embed within client teams to understand and document their workflows, integration realities, and system pain points.
• Translate chaotic business demands and technical constraints into clean, high-impact platform solutions that align with LotusFlare's product catalog.
• Lead technical alignment workshops, author comprehensive Technical Requirements Documents (TRD) and Product Requirements Documents (PRD), and drive high-velocity tactical sprint execution.
• Thriving in Ambiguity: An intense, entrepreneurial ownership mindset with a proven ability to operate with extreme autonomy in flat, fast-paced corporate environments. Comfortable making highly confident decisions under deeply uncertain, rapidly shifting conditions

• Technical Acumen: Strong foundational fluency in cloud-native microservices architectures, REST APIs, JSON schemas, containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and database technologies. Must possess the technical competence to lead complex data and architectural design sessions confidently without needing to write production code
• Global Mobility & Rigor: Exceptional diligence with the flexibility to collaborate effectively across highly distributed international time zones (North America, Europe, and Asia hubs), and a willingness to travel to client deployment sites to embed directly with operations when critical milestones dictate
• Telecom Domain Expertise: Robust knowledge of telecom frameworks (BSS/OSS architecture) with hands-on experience executing massive digital transformation programs across customer management, digital commerce, billing, activation, or network orchestration
• AI Tool Integration: Demonstrated competency or high enthusiasm for integrating Generative AI developer environments and tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Copilot, Gemini) into daily professional workflows to automate documentation, analyze complex data sets, and massively scale individual output
• Consultative Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. Elite capability to ask deep, analytical, first-principles questions (management consulting style), challenge legacy system constraints gracefully, and instantly structure chaotic business challenges under pressure
