THE OPPORTUNITY

The Principal Offer Manager is responsible for the design, development, commercialization, and lifecycle management of a portfolio of packaged Professional Services offerings. This standardized services catalogue of fixed-scope packages, deployment accelerators, and upgrade and migration paths, spans the entire customer lifecycle, from initial deployment, through functional extensions, upgrades, and cloud transformation journeys. This role will be responsible for defining the value proposition, delivery model, and commercialization framework for their offers, bridging Product Management, Sales, Presales, Delivery, and GTM teams. As customers accelerate the transition from traditional on-premises licenses to modern cloud subscriptions, they will translate OpenText’s enterprise solutions into repeatable, high-value packaged services that drive rapid time-to-value and make it easier to position our value.

• Collaborating with regional and industry leaders to ensure offers resonate across verticals such as financial services, manufacturing, and public sector.
• Continuously refining offers based on market trends, customer feedback, and adoption metrics.

Portfolio Integration & Scaling

• Creating a consistent delivery methodology across regions — integrating with existing OpenText accelerators and frameworks.
• Partnering with PS Delivery and Centers of Excellence to pilot new services, operationalize tools, templates, and knowledge assets, and refine delivery for efficiency, scalability, and margin health.

• Demonstrated experience working with cross-functional GTM, Sales, and Delivery teams, influencing without authority across global organizations.
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and presentation skills with executive-level presence; fluency in English required, additional languages an asset.

• Proficiency with Salesforce, Power BI/Tableau, and common GTM analytics tools preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in business, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field (MBA or advanced degree preferred).

Success will be measured by:
