The Product Manager, Utility Billing is part of the Muni-Link product team, responsible for turning strategic direction into clearly defined, buildable features across the utility billing platform. Working closely with the Lead PM, Designer, and development team, this role connects customer, partner, and stakeholder input with engineering to ensure the right problems get solved the right way, on time.
This is a hands-on execution role. PMs at Muni-Link are active participants in discovery, definition, and delivery. You will own backlog health, sprint coordination, release readiness, and post-launch feedback loops, while advocating for the needs of the utility clients and municipalities we serve.
Product Requirements - Translate market signals, customer feedback, and stakeholder input into clear, complete requirements.

Maintain and groom the product backlog in collaboration with the Lead PM.
Customer and Partner Engagement - Surface insights from utility clients, implementation partners, and support channels during discovery and definition. Understand the operational problems utility billing staff face and bring that context into requirements, acceptance criteria, and prioritization decisions. Participate in client calls and partner discussions as a product subject matter expert.
