Technical Product Manager / Remote · Open to US time zones

I turn complex systems into products people actually use.

Hi, I'm Kayleigh. I spent nearly six years as a software engineer at Accenture, building for enterprise clients. I learned how software gets built. Now I focus on deciding what gets built, and why.

01The engineering edge

Why hire a PM who's shipped code?

Architecture fluency

I've built the systems I'll be prioritizing. I can read a sequence diagram, question an API contract, and spot the hidden migration inside a “small” feature.

Honest scoping

Six years of estimating my own tickets means I write requirements engineers trust — and timelines that survive contact with reality.

Developer empathy

I know what a vague ticket costs a team. My specs come with edge cases, acceptance criteria, and the “why” already answered.

Consulting polish

Accenture taught me to align executives, client stakeholders, and delivery teams who all want different things — and to stay calm when priorities shift.

02Selected work

Case studies

Enterprise engagements told from the product side: the problem, the trade-offs, and what changed as a result. Clients are anonymized.

01

Workflow Digitization

From email chains to a self-serve approvals portal

Operations staff were processing shared task updates through email threads and shared spreadsheets. I helped turn a fragile manual process into a tracked, self-serve workflow — starting with the people doing the work.

  • User discovery
  • MVP scoping
  • Journey mapping
  • Integrations

Platform Product

One component library for 6 delivery teams

Multiple teams on the same client program were rebuilding the same buttons, tables, and forms — each slightly different. I helped treat our internal UI library as a product, with engineers as its customers.

  • Developer experience
  • Adoption strategy

Support & Documentation

Turning recurring support tickets into self-service fixes

Our team was spending 35% of every sprint on the same handful of support escalations. I used ticket data to separate “needs a runbook” from “needs a product fix” — and drove both.

  • Data-driven prioritization
  • Runbooks
  • Observability
  • Backlog shaping

A complete concept PRD covering the problem, goals and non-goals, personas, prioritized requirements, edge cases, success metrics, and rollout. It's the document I'd hand an engineering team on day one.

05About

From building it right to building the right thing

For nearly six years at Accenture, I shipped software for enterprise clients across developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise SaaS. I wrote the code, and the projects I remember best were the ones where I got to shape it: sitting with users, untangling requirements, and helping a room full of stakeholders agree on what mattered most.

I gradually became the engineer who wrote the specs, ran the demos, translated between the client and the team, and turned support tickets into roadmap items. Product management is where that work becomes the whole job.

The best requirement is one an engineer reads once and never has to ask about.

I work best on remote, async-first teams that value clear writing: PRDs, decision records, runbooks, and documentation people actually read. I'm especially drawn to developer platforms, internal tools, and enterprise SaaS.
