A product manager liaises with customers, identifies their needs and pain points, and aligns these with relevant business objectives. They help execute these ideas within a business setting, ensuring that product development aligns with customer expectations and company goals as well as communicate customers’ needs and explain how they align with the product's mission and vision. Some of the most important aspects of a product manager role is to secure buy-in from internal stakeholders on which features to prioritize and ship as well as translate product strategy into actionable steps for the product and development teams.
We’re looking for a talented product manager to help communicate our customers’ needs and turn them into features they will love. You’ll join our dynamic product team and be the central hub connecting our customers with the team building the product they know and love.
No, many product managers come from diverse backgrounds that have little to do with development. Relevant skills and experience in product management are more important than a specific degree.
Relevant work experience. Having a background in engineering is a plus but not a necessity. Demonstrating your ability to manage products successfully is key.
With the right networking skills and plenty of learning and dedication, it's possible. Starting in related roles and building a strong understanding of the product lifecycle can pave the way. However, be prepared to demonstrate transferrable skills that will be useful in a product manager role.
