Product Manager

RTI is looking for a Product Manager to drive our next wave of growth. In this role, you’ll own the strategy and execution for how new users experience, evaluate, and adopt Connext across cloud, on-prem, and emerging product surfaces. You’ll focus on product-led acquisition, activation, engagement and conversion.

You’ll also incubate new product ideas, shape growth levers across the portfolio, and partner with cross-functional teams to unlock new business. If you enjoy working across ambiguous spaces, validating hypotheses quickly, and building the systems that turn first-time users into long-term customers, this role is for you.

As a Product Manager at RTI, you’ll play a critical role in shaping products that advance our company’s strategy and goals. In this role, you will:

• Own the product-led portions of the growth funnel
  • Own the product vision for how users experience, evaluate, and adopt Connext across all entry points: cloud-based evaluations, local installations, examples, templates, SDKs, education flows, etc.
  • Identify and prioritize the highest-impact levers that increase activation and technical success during the evaluation phase.
• Lead initiatives to instrument and optimize the user journey
  • Use telemetry, qualitative feedback, and funnel analytics to find friction, quantify opportunities, and drive measurable improvements.
  • Partner with Go-to-Market (GTM) teams to define and drive high-velocity growth experiments.
• Evolve and improve the evaluation experience
  • Partner on the Cloud Evaluation Platform roadmap as one of several key surfaces for growth.
  • Ensure sign-up, onboarding, provisioning, and first-run experiences reduce friction to get the first “win” and accelerate time-to-value.
• Define and measure growth KPIs
  • Build clarity around funnel metrics, activation moments, and signals of successful evaluation.
  • Bring data-driven insights that shape priorities and help the company understand where growth is blocked or accelerated.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of product management experience in developer-focused or infrastructure software, ideally with PLG or freemium models.
• Strong understanding of technical buyer journeys from trial to adoption and how product experience drives growth.
• Experience designing or optimizing evaluation/trial flows, activation metrics, or in-app onboarding.
• Comfortable with data tools and metrics dashboards; able to translate insights into actionable experiments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — balancing analytical rigor with storytelling.
• US Person requirement
  * Due to export-control regulations, we can only consider “US persons” for this role. A “US person” is defined by federal law as a US citizen, lawful permanent resident (green card holder), refugee, or asylee. We are not able to provide visa sponsorship or transfer.*
