We're looking for a product manager to join our small-and-mighty product team. As a healthcare startup, we move fast (and with little overhead!), so we need someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats and is pragmatic about the inherent tradeoffs in building a product in a fast moving environment. We employ a Design Thinking approach that puts the customer first by balancing a creative thinking divergent process with an iteration heavy convergent process. Given that, it’s crucial that you feel comfortable
- immersing yourself in the customer experience by leading feedback calls to gain deeper understanding of the customer's journey and uncover unarticulated needs.
- leading collaborative brainstorming & ideation sessions and articulating pre-experiences to test & vet design concepts
Responsibilities
- Work with the Head of Product to create a roadmap and set high level prioritization.
- Interface frequently with a variety of stakeholders about product needs.
- Oversee the ongoing prioritization of the backlog using key drivers & user feedback.
- Write user stories with acceptance criteria and sufficient depth of explanation.
- Lead backlog grooming to decompose and estimate stories with developers.
- Answer questions from developers and clarify requirements.
- Work with Release Manager, QA, & Customer Success to accept finished features based on acceptance criteria on behalf of Product.
Requirements
- Demonstrated success leading the build-out of high value products.
- A knack for bringing people together across teams and perspectives to get things done.
- Solid written communication skills as evidenced by clear user stories.
- Enough technical understanding to discuss scope/timeline tradeoffs with engineers.
- Ability to both pay attention to the details, and also keep a bead on the broader context.
