Responsibilities

As a Product Manager, you will be responsible for building software products that delight our customers and advance our business interests. Specifically, you will own the vision, strategy, design, and execution of a technology product, while also building consensus across your stakeholders and teammates.

 

Beyond that, we’re looking for someone with a high degree of ownership. And the way we tend to define ownership is in terms of your willingness to look critically at yourself and make changes. Problems are inevitable, and you are going to fail a lot. We are looking for people who will take responsibility for failures, learn from them, and reinvest that learning in their work.

• Assist in defining product vision. Complete product planning and execution throughout the product lifecycle.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders and end users to understand and prioritize product requirements. Act as customer liaison for technical issues, product integration and development.
• Work closely with developers and cross-functional teams to ensure fulfillment of product performance.
• Deliver Results. You will curate the best ideas, hypothesize their value, and implement the most promising of them. You will constantly re-assess what we have built to make sure we are realizing actual value.
• Focusing on the Data. You will establish OKRs that define our goals and quantify our results. You will regularly review your indicators for actionable insights and you will host OKR Reviews to create cross-functional alignment.
• Understand Our Customers. You will keep yourself and our team highly exposed to customer feedback. You will use this exposure to anticipate customer needs and constantly improve their experiences.
• Saying no. You will help us choose the right problem to solve next. Sometimes you will have to say no to things. You will consistently weigh short- and long-term trade-offs while keeping a healthy bias toward the long term.
• Challenge the Status Quo. For various processes, you will understand what we do and why we do it. Then you will work across Business, Operations, Design, Data, and Engineering teams to reimagine how.
