I really appreciate the reply! Definitely going to pick up Cagan's book. At my employer the Product Manager is the CEO of the product. They detail the roadmap, get input from clients, drive the vision of the product, etc. I don't have any direct reports, but the product team delivers what I prioritize. My specific product is a mobile solution in a set of specific industries. We don't have a public facing application but have a large customer base with each client wanting something a little different. It seems like there is quite a bit of technical debt and a developer population that is reluctant to make big strides forward with the product, so I think my work is cut out for me.
