Product Lead - Mobility & API Platforms

Flatgigs

United Arab EmiratesProduct

Introduction

This is not a single-product role. You will own three distinct but connected product lines — and make sure they don’t just exist, but actually work together, scale, and win in the market.

  • API Platform (core business, high-impact, revenue-driving)
  • Mobility Platform (IITS) (government-led deployments + enterprise use cases)
  • Navigation Product (Google Maps-based solution)

You’ll sit right in the middle of tech, business, and market reality — translating vision into execution.

What You’ll Own

1. Product Strategy & Roadmap

  • Define and drive the roadmap across all three product lines
  • Prioritize features based on real market needs (not internal assumptions)
  • Align product direction with business goals and revenue opportunities

2. Market & Domain Understanding

  • Bring strong exposure to traffic monitoring / mobility / smart city ecosystems
  • Track market trends, competitors, and regulatory shifts (especially in public sector ecosystems)
  • Validate product-market fit continuously through real-world feedback

3. Execution & Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Act as the bridge between engineering, business, and stakeholders
  • Translate business requirements into clear product specs and tech requirements
  • Work closely with engineering teams to ensure timely and scalable delivery

4. Stakeholder & Client Engagement

  • Work with government entities, enterprise clients, and internal leadership
  • Handle high-stakes conversations with clarity and confidence
  • Ensure product direction aligns with client expectations and deployment realities

5. Documentation & Communication

  • Own business-level documentation: PRDs, roadmaps, use cases, and proposals
  • Communicate complex ideas in a simple, structured way
  • Bring clarity when things get messy (because they will)

What We’re Looking For

  • 6–10 years in Product Management / Product Leadership
  • Strong experience in traffic monitoring, mobility tech, ITS, or smart city ecosystems
  • Proven ability to manage multiple products simultaneously
  • Experience working with APIs and platform-based products
  • Strong understanding of government or enterprise deployments
  • Excellent communication — both written and verbal
  • Ability to move between strategy and execution without getting lost in either
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and building structure where none exists

What Will Set You Apart

  • Experience with navigation systems / geospatial products / Google Maps integrations
  • Exposure to public sector projects or smart city initiatives
  • Strong commercial thinking — not just product, but business impact
