The Product Manager is the mini-CEO of their product/offer.

Their responsibilities will span many activities from strategic to tactical and provide cross-functional leadership — bridging gaps within the company between different functions, especially between development, supply chain, finance, sales and marketing, and service and support. Post-launch, product managers monitor their portfolio and identify and implement actions to boost the performance of the portfolio. This includes sunsetting products if required.
