We are looking for a thoughtful, well-rounded Product Manager to join a rapidly growing startup and work on an application that brands, influencers, celebrities, agencies, and marketing firms use daily.

About the team:

• Collaborate with product marketers and customer support managers to ensure release or launch readiness. 

• Be comfortable with agile development and the ability to move quickly from idea to execution. 

• Be the voice of the customer and understand users via interviews and interface with support to understand problems to solve and advance product KPIs.

• Ensure product solutions work for the business (stakeholders, support, marketing)

• Work with design/dev leads and shape the upcoming work setup as releasable chunks.

• Define the product backlog and create actionable user stories for the development teams.

• Groom and prioritize work in the backlog.

• Accept the completed user stories to make sure the work fulfills the criteria.

• Routinely answer questions that arise during the course of development and testing.

• Drive, contribute to, and communicate solutions to technical product challenges.

• Design, implement, and evaluate business experiments (including A/B testing).

• Data analysis - interpret data and develop actionable recommendations

• Create business cases for new products and revenue generating opportunities

What you’ll bring:

• 3 years of experience in product management with a proven track record of success.

• Excellent written, verbal communication and presentation skills.

• Basic understanding of UI/UX approaches and strategies.

• Basic understanding of web and mobile technologies.

• Initiative to identify problems and act on opportunities to improve the product offering.

• Analytically minded with experience leveraging data and analytics to uncover insights.

• A genuine passion for customers and creating awesome product experiences.

• Strong collaboration skills across disciplines to drive alignment and drive releases to completion/launch.

• Exceptional knowledge of social media channels is very helpful.

• Natural curiosity to understand problems, frame them, and communicate accordingly.

 

Who We Are:

• We are digital marketing and social media experts. PLANOLY was built from a Brand and Influencer’s perspective, so we understand how to enhance and streamline the workflow of a digital marketer.

• We’re a startup that is growing super fast and has been profitable since its inception.

• We offer an open work environment where highly motivated team members take full ownership of the products and help steer the company.

• We are a huge advocate of work-life balance, which is seen in our open vacation and work-from-any-coffee-shops policies.

• We’ll provide you with catered lunches, snacks, drinks, and regular team outings.
