Senior Product Manager
Description
Tyler Technologies is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own and scale our Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Customer Identity (CIAM) product suite. You’ll define the roadmap for authentication, single sign-on, multi-factor and passwordless flows, and how those flows integrate with products across the entire Tyler portfolio—partnering with engineering, security, UX, and go-to-market teams to deliver secure, seamless experiences that power both internal operations and client-facing applications.
Responsibilities
aka What You’ll Do:
- Craft and evangelize a multi-year roadmap for IAM/CIAM capabilities: authentication, SSO, MFA/adaptive auth, passwordless, identity proofing, and user provisioning/deprovisioning.
- Collaborate with product architects and technical leads to guide solution design trade-offs, API strategy, and platform extensibility.
- Coordinate with product leaders across all of the Tyler divisions to onboard and roll out Tyler’s centralized identity management system
- Present product strategy, performance metrics, and customer feedback as data-driven narratives to executive leadership and key stakeholders.
- Lead product development process and work closely with DevSecOps, architects, and QA to ship high-quality releases on cadence.
- Work with UX researchers to validate login/onboarding experiences; with sales and customer success to gather market feedback.
- Coordinate go-to-market planning with marketing, training, and support teams.
- Define and track KPIs: authentication success, account takeover incidents, onboarding time, user satisfaction (NPS).
- Use telemetry and customer interviews to refine features and drive continuous improvement.
- Define and evolve enterprise federation strategies using OIDC and SAML, enabling secure, scalable integration with customer identity providers (IDPs) via a centralized Identity Proxy Gateway.
- Collaborate with infrastructure and security teams to manage and enhance the Identity Proxy Gateway that mediates federation and fallback authentication scenarios.
- Ensure graceful support for hybrid identity models, including a secure fallback user store for clients without IDPs.

- Familiarity with developer-facing APIs, SDKs, and developer portal requirements.
- Hands-on knowledge of risk-based authentication, threat modeling, and secure software practices.
- Comfortable defining metrics, instrumenting telemetry, and drawing insights from quantitative and qualitative data.
- Exceptional written and verbal skills; able to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams without formal authority.
- Experience designing or managing identity federation architectures using OIDC and SAML protocols, particularly in B2B or multi-tenant SaaS environments.
- Familiarity with proxy-based or brokered identity architectures (e.g., Identity Proxy Gateway, Identity Broker, or central AuthN proxy layers).
