Product Manager

Product Manager, BIM CoPilot

Location: Chennai Type: Full time Reports to: Managing Director

About the role

Joseph Engineering Services (JES) is a BIM delivery company with over 260 BIM professionals. We are building CoPilot, an AI-assisted product for Revit modelling and coordination, used by our own teams first.

We are hiring a Product Manager to own CoPilot delivery end to end: the roadmap, the release plan, and the day-to-day execution of a small, fast-moving development team. This is a hands-on role. You will be the single owner of what gets built, in what order, and when it ships.

What you will do

• Own the product roadmap and break it into clearly scoped milestones and releases.
• Define the scope of each release and write acceptance criteria that developers can build to and QA can test against.
• Manage the development team's execution day to day: make sure every developer is working on the right item, unblock them, and keep the backlog clean and prioritized.
• Run release management: decide what ships together, coordinate QA, sign off releases, and write release notes.
• Coordinate user acceptance testing with our BIM modelers and coordinators, and feed their findings back into the roadmap.
• Make sure the test data and models needed for each release are ready before development starts.
• Track and report delivery metrics: throughput, cycle time, blockers, and progress against milestones.
• Bring decisions to leadership with the context, the options and a recommendation.

What you will not do

• Write code. Developers own technical design and implementation.
• Line-manage the developers. You direct the work; their reporting line stays as is.
• Run sprints or ceremonies for their own sake. We work from a prioritized queue, not a sprint calendar.

What we are looking for

Required

• 4+ years in product management or technical delivery management for software products, with releases shipped to real users.
• Strong at writing clear, testable requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Working knowledge of BIM and Revit: families, levels, clashes, coordination workflows. AEC industry experience, or product experience serving it.
• Comfortable running a backlog and a release calendar as the single source of truth, and keeping it honest.
• Direct communicator. Able to say no to a developer and to leadership, with the reason.
• Based in Chennai or Dubai, or willing to relocate.

Preferred

• Experience delivering with AI-assisted or agent-based development workflows.
• Prior background as a BIM coordinator, modeler or MEP engineer.
• Experience with QA and UAT coordination in a small team.
