About the Role:

The Digital Product Manager - Construction Technology collaboratively leads the strategy, development, and ongoing optimization of technology solutions that support Suffolk's construction operations across key product families, including Project and Documentation Management, Pre-construction and Workforce Management, Safety and Site Management, Scheduling, and Design Management.
