Product Manager Digital Twin

Parsons Corporation

What You ll Be Doing

• Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the operational Digital Twin, ensuring alignment with client objectives and wider organisational strategy.

• Lead business process analysis across planning, operations, and maintenance functions to define how the operational twin supports and optimises end to end workflows.

• Translate business needs into clear, prioritised product backlogs and requirements covering both software and GIS components, ensuring a unified data and solution architecture.

• Manage the full product lifecycle across discovery, design, PoC, implementation, and post implementation phases, continuously refining the product based on feedback and performance.

• Define and own functional and non functional requirements (usability, performance, scalability, security) for the operational twin and ensure these are embedded in solution and data architecture.

• Work closely with GIS, software development, data engineering, and integration teams to ensure coherent design and delivery of features, interfaces, and data flows.

• Oversee the integration of GIS platforms (e.g., Esri ArcGIS) with enterprise and operational systems to ensure a consistent, single source of truth.

• Prioritise and manage the product backlog, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and strategic objectives; lead release planning and feature scoping activities.

• Lead stakeholder engagement across multiple client entities, including product discovery workshops, journey mapping, requirements validation, and roadmap alignment.

• Define and track product success metrics and KPIs, using data and user feedback to guide enhancements and investment decisions.

• Oversee the setup and execution of PoCs to validate key use cases, user journeys, integrations, and operational performance.

• Guide the transition from PoC to a production grade operational twin, including readiness criteria, user acceptance, and phased rollout planning.

• Support post implementation operations with a product mindset, driving continuous improvement, enhancement planning, and user experience optimisation.

• Coordinate training, change management, and adoption activities to embed the operational twin into business processes and ensure sustained usage and value realisation.

• Prepare and present product updates, roadmaps, and value realisation reports to Parsons leadership and senior client stakeholders.
