The Role: Lead Product Manager – Customer Portal
As the Lead Product Manager for the Customer Portal, you will own the strategy, discovery, roadmap, and delivery of the portal that sits at the heart of brighthush’s customer experience.

- Lead continuous discovery with customers, turning insights into clear problem statements and a phased, outcome‑driven roadmap.

- Partner closely with Engineering, GTM, Fraud Ops, and Design to translate internal expertise into a compelling customer‑facing product.
- Own the launch process from internal platform releases to external go‑to‑market, treating launch as a discipline rather than a milestone.
- Mentor and coach PMs, raising the product‑craft bar and building a high‑performing team.
- Champion AI initiatives, implementing best practices that accelerate discovery and delivery.
