Senior Product Manager – Professional Standards

Senior Product Manager – Professional Standards

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 dispatcher takes a 911 call, a detective works a case, or a lab processes evidence, there's a good chance our software is running in the background. 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

As a Senior Product Manager, you will help shape the standards and wellness ecosystem that enables public safety to maintain public trust and a high-performance culture through a robust standards accountability process and provide proactive support of their first responders.

In this role, you set strategic direction and drive complex feature prioritization and adoption across teams. You will own the product's P&L and pricing strategies, working closely with customers, marketing, designers, and engineers to deliver solutions that simplify complex workflows and enhance community safety.
