Muck Rack is looking for a Product Manager to join our fast-growing tech startup based in New York with teammates working remotely across the world. Our mission is to make journalists, PR pros and marketers more successful. We're building a team made of different perspectives and experiences — that's how we'll create a product that's reflective of our users around the world.

Journalists use Muck Rack to build and manage portfolios, track the reach of stories, find career opportunities and keep up with industry news. PR pros and companies use Muck Rack to find and contact the most relevant journalists for their stories, monitor what’s being said about their company or competitors, track the success of their media campaigns and report on their success. 

About the position

As a Product Manager, you’ll immediately contribute to Muck Rack’s vision, roadmap and strategy. You’ll collaborate with product stakeholders, engineers, designers and business teams while managing research, specifications, development, testing and launching features.

You’ll join a product team obsessed with launching features. We aren’t scrum, we aren’t waterfall, we aren’t agile. We blend the best components of those strategies, collaborate with our teammates, create wireframes to communicate feature ideas, shape projects to launch products that delight our users around the world, evolve in the ever-changing media landscape and directly contribute to the growth of our bootstrapped startup.

We rely on Trello, Github, Slack, Intercom, Zapier, Productboard and a host of other project management and analytics tools, but you’ll help optimize the product development process by contributing to systems and processes that will help launch new, innovative, data-driven products and improvements on Muck Rack.

Responsibilities include

• Creating, managing and delivering feature plans, roadmaps, project plans and specifications.
• Partnering with cross-functional teams including engineering, customer success, marketing, design to build growth strategies and manage complex, cross-functional projects.
