Key job responsibilities
Sr. Product Managers are responsible for managing the lifecycle of a product with considerable impact to our businesses. You will own defining the strategic vision for the product, establishing a roadmap, and driving teams to deliver large or significant features. You will work closely with product management, engineering, account management, marketing, legal, operations, and finance teams around the world. The ideal candidate operates with total autonomy, thrives in ambiguous situations, and is able to earn trust and influence across a high level of seniority.
- Customer Understanding: Serve as Voice of the Customer by generalizing requirements from diverse customer personas and use cases. Work backward from customer needs, interact directly with customers, and conduct customer/market research to inform strategic decisions
- Product Strategy & Decision-Making: Define vision (PR/FAQ), problem statement, tenets, and strategy. Own roadmap and priorities. Reason from first principles, distinguish between one-way and two-way door decisions, and drive rapid experimentation
- Data-Informed Approach: Use data to drive decisions. Define success criteria, KPIs, and metrics. Analyze usage data, performance metrics, customer behavior, and market trends to inform roadmap investments
- Execution & Results Delivery: Drive meaningful outcomes across customer experience, business growth, and operational excellence. Engage with customers throughout the lifecycle — from concept through delivery to adoption and optimization
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Drive communications with customers, engineers, and cross-functional partners. Influence without authority, building alignment across teams. Drive product discussions with senior managers and Directors regularly
A day in the life
You will take end-to-end product ownership. You dive deep into both the business and customer perspective, working with cross-functional partners to define, build, launch and grow products and services. You develop business and product requirements, prioritize needs, and manage milestones and overall roadmap. You write strategic narratives and make crisp decisions about what projects move forward and in what priority.
