At Qualtrics, we create software the world’s best brands use to deliver exceptional customer experiences, build high-performing teams, and design products people love. But we are more than a platform—we are the creators and stewards of the Experience Management category serving over 18K clients globally. Building a category takes grit, determination, and a disdain for convention—but most of all it requires close-knit, high-functioning teams with an unwavering dedication to serving our customers.

When you join one of our teams, you’ll be part of a nimble group that’s empowered to set aggressive goals and move fast to achieve them. Strategic risks are encouraged and complex problems are solved together, by passing the mic and iterating until the best solution comes to light. You won’t have to look to find growth opportunities—ready or not, they’ll find you. From retail to government to healthcare, we’re on a mission to bring humanity, connection, and empathy back to business. Join over 6,000 people across the globe who think that’s work worth doing. 

Why We Have This Role

Qualtrics is already a best in class leader Voice of the Customer, Voice of the Employee, Text Analytics, Market and Product Research and several other categories. We are at a point where we can now innovate on top of these best in class solutions. The Product Management team is looking for an experienced and senior product leader who will drive innovations that bring all of the XM categories together and that make consolidating onto Qualtrics a no-brainer for all of our customers. An example of this kind of innovation is CrossXM, which combines data from an organization’s customer and employee programs to identify the specific employee investments that will have an outsized impact on customer success.  There are many more such innovations in concept and under development.

You will lead an organization to work closely with our customers to develop the innovations that help them take their XM game to the next level through integration across the entire portfolio. You’ll design value propositions for the C-suite at the world’s largest and most successful organizations. You’ll work directly with Executives and Directors in our customers’ organizations to solve their problems in ways that are unique, differentiated, and most importantly impactful. You’ll work cross functionally at Qualtrics to take these innovations from concept to market to maturity as defined by engaged usage of the products with high product satisfaction. You’ll report directly to our Chief Product Officer and you’ll develop the future PM leadership at Qualtrics.
