Lead Product Manager

U.S. (Remote)

The Company

Versaterm is a PE-backed, high-growth SaaS company building a fully integrated platform across the entire public safety ecosystem — dispatch, law enforcement, forensics, courts, and beyond.  We've grown through strategic acquisitions and deep product investment. What connects all of it is a single purpose: give public safety agencies the tools and insights to make better decisions in high-stakes moments. 

When a 911 call is answered, a detective investigates a case, or a forensic lab processes evidence, there's a good chance our software is working behind the scenes. That's been true for over four decades.

AI is central to where we're going. Not as a feature but as core infrastructure. We're embedding intelligence directly into the workflows our customers rely on every day, and we're doing it alongside them. Our customers tell us what the mission demands. We build what answers it. 

This work attracts a specific kind of person — someone who wants to be pushed by great people, build things that outlast a sprint cycle, and go home knowing the work connected back to something real.

The Role

The Lead Product Manager plays a key strategic role in shaping the mission-critical systems that serve as the backbone for Police, Fire, and EMS. This position provides leadership across multiple products or major initiatives within the public safety portfolio, combining strategic foresight with hands-on execution to drive meaningful impact. This role combines deep product expertise, driving strategic outcomes while mentoring and elevating others across the product organization.

The Lead Product Manager partners closely with Engineering, Design, Sales, Marketing, and Partner Success to align product outcomes with organizational goals. They operate with a portfolio-level perspective—defining strategy, guiding execution, and ensuring that products deliver measurable value to both customers and the business.

Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and the Records Management System (RMS) are core platforms for public safety operations—powering real-time dispatch and secure data management. In this role, you’ll lead modernization across one of these portfolios, improving usability, ensuring compliance, and driving seamless integration within the Versaterm ecosystem. You’ll champion innovations to help agencies operate smarter, while shaping strategy and delivering measurable business impact.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
