Product Manager II - Core Data Platform
Role Overview
The primary business objective of this PM II role is to establish and guide the strategy and vision for building a Core Data Platform end to end that supports AvidXchange’s broader data modernization efforts.

The role focuses on defining and managing the roadmap while collaborating closely with engineering teams to align technical execution with strategic objectives. It is critical for transitioning AvidXchange to a more scalable and modern data infrastructure, addressing the increasing complexity of data integration and enabling advanced analytics to support spend management, operational processes, and monetization opportunities.
