The role
We are looking for a proactive Product Manager to help us scale our capacity to solve meaningful client problems. You’ll be joining our dynamic product team as one of two full-time PMs working across the entire product, supported by strategic input from our leadership team. You’ll have lots of autonomy, responsibility for important product decisions, and collaboration from colleagues when you need it. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to shape product direction in a client-focused, data-driven environment and build things that really change people’s day-to-day lives.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll work closely with colleagues across product, design, marketing and development to ship features which delight beauty and barbering businesses and help them get the most value from our software:
- Leading structured discovery to understand what our clients actually need by combining Intercom feedback, PostHog data, client interviews, and competitor analysis into a clear point of view
- De-risking difficult problems by identifying and executing the cheapest way to get the information we need to have more certainty
- Making sure we build the right thing at the right time by identifying the highest-impact points of focus across our various product areas and articulating why, so we can prioritize with confidence
- Creating organized, well-reasoned specs that give design, development and AI tools the clarity and constraints to move quickly, with tradeoffs and risks made explicit rather than hidden
- Keeping things moving by maintaining momentum across multiple projects at once, holding scope tightly, and preferring working, testable iterations over a perfect plan
- Using AI tools thoughtfully to accelerate your own work and inform product decisions, while recognizing which types of work still require human judgment
- Partnering directly with designers and developers to iterate solutions during development
- Measuring what we ship by defining success metrics upfront, tracking them in PostHog or across other tools, and proactively communicating your findings
- Creating efficient processes and documentation that help the entire team work better
Your experience
Essential
- You have at least 3 years of directly applicable PM experience with a strong portfolio of complex B2B or SaaS applications
- You’re highly organized and self-managing, able to structure your own work and prioritize effectively
- You are comfortable in technical discussions with developers and familiar with some programming and query languages for the purposes of prototyping and research
- You’d rather ship and learn than search for perfect solutions, and you’re energized by ambiguity and back yourself to figure things out as you go
- You have excellent instincts for finding the highest point of leverage in any given system or problem space
- You think in sustainable and scalable systems that accelerate decision-making and development, rather than defining one-off solutions
- You’re a whizz at analyzing data and separating the signal from the noise
- You have experience collaborating closely with design, marketing and development teams and iterating on solutions during development
- You excel at leading discovery work: carrying out user research, competitive analysis, and data analytics to inform product decisions and create actionable insights
Nice-to-have
- Experience in booking/scheduling software or tools for service-based businesses
- Experience with Figma for design and prototyping, and Posthog for product analytics
- Familiarity with reading Ruby on Rails code
