IconStaff/Boston, MA
As a Product Development Manager you will be responsible for using customer needs and market trends to plan the long term direction for a major part of our clients’ product suite. This is a strategic role. You will be responsible for working directly with an engineering scrum team to build that plan in monthly development sprints. This is a hands-on tactical role.
Â
Role requires the following:
Software Product experience, in particular SAAS applications. You have an intuitive sense for software workings and opportunities and challenges because software is often different from other types of business and products.
Strategic aptitude — you are analytically strong when decisions move beyond the tactical and into industry and market forces, competitive pressures, financial analysis, and deciding the best path to a point on the horizon from among the many good paths.
Team and interpersonal skills — you have a high degree of empathy to detect what customers really want and mean even when they don't know themselves. You work well with other teams like engineering and marketing using indirect influence to accomplish projects.Â
Our client is about execution. At the end of the day you can be relied on to just deliver, period.
Â
The following background is suggested:
3+ years at a software company in a role that works closely with the product. This could be a product role, an engineering role, marketing, or CEO. Something that grounds your software intuition.
A significant basis for strategic sense, such as an MBA or experience in a strategic role.
Our client believes strongly in iterative experimentation, measurement, and learning. They do this with every aspect of their business, not just their software.
Your brain will be used. Your ideas will be implemented.
Salary Range: $80,000.00 – $100,000.00 / $0.00/hr – $0.00/hr
