POSITION:
We are looking for an experienced product manager with strong technical aptitude who can help us realize our product vision by establishing and implementing platform capabilities to support the evolution of the product. In this role, you will partner with every product team at the Predictive Index to understand what enables successful use of the product by users, administrators, and the network of consultants who support them.
Problem solving at the platform level is rich in complexity and offers rewards for those who are energized by tackling difficult challenges that often require solutioning for short-term needs while making progress on long-term strategies. Key areas you will focus on include: selling and servicing, implementation and adoption, access and permissions, data accuracy and hygiene, metering product use, and more.
At the Predictive Index, Product Managers have ownership over a primary area of functionality as well as the opportunity to “flex” into other domains outside their ownership, collaborating with other PMs and leaders across our business on a regular basis to support business priorities.
Your Day-to-Day:
- Bring persistent focus and energy to the problems and solutions that will be most impactful on short-term and long-term time horizons.
- Transform ideas and feedback into plans for new and improved foundational functionality and features, working closely with Engineering, Architecture, Product Managers, and Designers along the way.
- Continuously involve cross-functionally impacted stakeholders in your plans, collecting feedback on upcoming features, providing product previews and potential training references that may be needed as part of your roadmap plans.
- Clearly document features and functionality in a way that can be easily consumed and built by a platform development team. Work closely with your team to prioritize, refine, plan, and execute.
- Dive into the data. Understand product usage analytics and use this knowledge to further develop/refine your roadmap.
- Collaborate with all product teams and identify opportunities to accelerate their goals and explore ideas to encourage adoption, administration, and cross-selling.
Should you apply? If you’ve got all the skills, drop what you’re doing right now! If you’ve got some of these skills, we still want to hear about them!
- 2+ years Product Manager or Engineering experience, ideally working on platform features and functionality or on a similarly technical area
- Agile methodology experience
- Top-notch communication skills
- Experience building/supporting B2B product(s) desirable
- Familiarity with collecting and leveraging data analytics to drive roadmap decisions
- Supporting a collective understanding of priorities and make smart decisions/tradeoffs
- At some point, you’ve completely owned a project from start to finish and knocked it out of the park!
- Experience working with products sold through and serviced by a partner network is an added benefit
You will excel in this role if you:
- Have a clear aptitude at the strategic implications of tactical implementation decisions and vice versa
- Show up with a strong sense of ownership and accountability that extend beyond one’s own responsibilities both effectively and respectfully
- Navigate complexity quickly and masterfully. Learn our systems and our industry quickly.
- Flexible and adaptable to accommodate key business priorities.
- Collaborate and influence well. At PI we work as a team. Bring your ideas to the table, and connect with cross-functional colleagues to socialize your recommendations.
- Are energetic. We have a vibrant group. Jumping in, having great team cohesion, and showing leadership is all key.
- Are driven. You relish solving difficult problems.
