Job Summary:
The Product Manager role is responsible for the delivery of solutions that are valuable, viable, usable, and ultimately technically feasible.
Job Responsibilities:
- Product Discovery more than 50% of your time will be spent working with your stakeholder groups on understanding the problems to solve and working with your Product Team on how best to solve them. Your ability to use many different Product Discovery Techniques is integral to your success.
- Product Ownership – this part of the role is what you might think of as the traditional Product Owner roles. You run sprint planning, sprint grooming, backlog management and ticket triage in Jira. Your understanding of the team and their throughput will help you in tackling problems inside the framework of an agile sprint.
- Organizational knowledge translated into risk analysis – understanding of marketing, sales, services, finance, legal, privacy, compliance, regulatory affairs, government affairs – your translation of risks in all of these areas to the team will ensure we make products that people love, that also align with our industry and organizational standards and principles.
- Partnership and Collaboration. Alongside the Product Designer and the Lead Engineer, you are one of the three leaders of the product. These three roles are collectively accountable for outcomes and will only be successful if each role is truly bought into an equal partnership and collaborative decision making.
- Turning discovery into ideas, ideas into sustainable solutions. Different parts of your core product team are accountable for individual areas of risk – but you are responsible for collaborating with the entirety of the team to discover effective solutions and then bringing the team together to deliver those solutions to the market.
- Convene your team for collaborative problem solving sessions- and understand standing how to get most of out of each member of the team.
- Align to and successfully drive Product Strategy to meet organizational and portfolio strategic and business objectives.
- Fail fast. Effective, successful Product Management in this role is measured by outcomes, not outputs. Ensuring that the problems you are solving are quantified – and that your solutions quantify the degree to which your team has solved the problem – is the core responsibility of this role.
