Mandatory Ask:

10+ Years Of Overall With 3+ Years Of Product Management Experience - Entire Product Lifecycle / Hands On & Strategic Thinker / Open To Working Us Shift - 5pm Onwards

Job Description:

Our product management team is a fast-moving group of hustlers that build and analyze to drive outcomes - not to burn meaningful hours on academic exercises. That does not mean we don't communicate clearly, dive deep, or document - it means that we do these things in service of the result we're chasing. We are more startup than we are corporate.

In this role, you will build a vision for your product(s), develop a one-year operating plan, setup the appropriate mechanisms to get a result and execute aggressively. You will be working with our business and engineering leadership, extensively, in order to achieve high bar outcomes. As part and parcel of this work, you will use the mechanisms you have built and your own ability to influence to surmount roadblocks and do so while building trust across the organization.

Key Responsibilities:

- Deeply understand the needs of our customers through quantitative, qualitative and quant on qual methodologies.

- Define a compelling product strategy for parts of our online auction platform or other novel products and services.

- Set clear goals, working backwards from output metrics tied with our P&L to input levers that drive those metrics. Frame 80%+ of your initiatives around those goals.

- Take ownership of roadmaps for those products and services - driving alignment and execution and building with a balanced understanding of customer needs biasing for concrete rather over vague return on investment estimates.

- Collaborate with engineering, operations, finance, legal, customer service, marketing and other leaders to enhance customer engagement and retention to plan and execute aggressively.

Required Qualifications:

- 3+ years of product or program management experience.

- Strong orientation to and intuitive understanding of analytics.

- Build thoughtful product requirements with clear user stories, interaction statements, and analytics event definitions.

- Build and/or adapt to lightweight mechanisms such as Postmortems, BiWeekly Updates, MBRs and QBRs, to drive alignment and escalations across the business.

- STEM degree with a preferred focus on either software engineering, mechanical engineering, or chemical engineering.

- Clear writing and direct but polite communication.
