Candescent is a forward-thinking technology company transforming how financial institutions deliver Intelligent Banking experiences. We unite digital banking, account opening, and branch solutions that power and connect digital banking, account opening, and branch solutions—creating seamless engagement across digital, remote, and in-person channels.

Built on an API-first architecture, our extensible ecosystem enables institutions to adapt quickly, integrate easily, and unlock new opportunities for growth—turning every customer interaction into a moment of clarity, confidence, and connection.

As Product Catalog Manager, you will oversee governance of Candescent's product portfolio catalog and help guide the transition from four disparate pricing and packaging systems into a unified model. You are responsible for managing the enterprise Product Catalog as a strategic business capability within the Product Success organization, owning catalog intake and governance, operating model maturity, lifecycle management, and the transformation of the Product Catalog into a scalable Product Knowledge capability.

This role leads the transition of catalog ownership into Product Success while simultaneously driving the future-state architecture required to support Votiv, Forge, and legacy product portfolios, pricing and packaging strategies, bundling models, product lifecycle management, and customer migrations. You serve as the primary steward of product portfolio information, ensuring consistency across Product Management, Sales, Finance, Operations, Customer Success, Billing, Contracting, and Technology functions.

The role reports into the Product Knowledge Manager within Product Success, positioning you at the intersection of product strategy, operational rigor, and business impact. It governs and facilitates catalog processes — it does not replace the business and technology leaders accountable for product, pricing, finance, architecture, or platform decisions.

• Track dependencies, approvals, testing, deployment activities, risks, and decision blockers
