Staff Product Manager, Modes & Experience Coordination
At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard - from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next‑generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
The Role As Staff Product Manager for Modes & Experience Coordination, you will lead discovery and roadmap development to identify and solve unmet customer needs across both driver and passenger experiences. You’ll partner closely with Studio, engineering, and program teams to define and deliver coordinated, cross‑functional solutions that shape how occupants engage with the vehicle environment. Your work will focus on creating experiences that help people feel more comfortable, focused, and successful in their actions—whether that means preparing for the road ahead, relaxing during a journey, or staying productive on the go.
This role requires a systems thinker who can navigate ambiguity, connect the dots across disciplines, and champion a customer‑first mindset. You’ll be responsible for aligning stakeholders, anticipating friction points, and ensuring that every mode delivers on our brand promise and user expectations.
What You’ll Do

These experiences aim to elevate comfort, reduce friction, and help occupants be more successful in their actions.

Lead discovery and business case development for new and evolving Modes by gathering customer insights, estimating system‑level costs, and aligning cross‑functional teams around feasible, high‑impact opportunities.
Monitor industry trends and emerging technologies to inform roadmap evolution and maintain competitive relevance.
