Upfluence’s software allows brands and agencies to identify and contact millions of social influencers and bloggers at scale to execute comprehensive influencer marketing campaigns, as well as provide detailed reporting metrics. Since the launch of our SaaS software in October 2016, the company has yielded a monthly double-digit growth rate, and we are therefore seeking further expansion for our team and offices. Our rapidly growing global team is currently distributed between our offices in NYC, Los Angeles, Lyon, Mexico City and Paris.

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to lead our Vela squad, which operates within its own functional perimeter.

🚀 Strategy

• Define and continuously refine the product vision, ensuring it aligns with business objectives and user needs.
• Translate this vision into a clear, actionable roadmap with well-defined priorities.
• Evangelize the product vision internally and externally, ensuring alignment across teams and stakeholders.

⚡️ Delivery & Execution

• Collaborate closely with designers, engineers, and other stakeholders to craft effective, user-centric solutions.
• Design and optimize user journeys, considering edge cases and service design principles (mock-ups, user flows, etc.).
• Break down your roadmap into impactful epics, user stories, and batches, ensuring an iterative and value-driven approach.
• Oversee development quality, ensuring bug-free, high-performance releases with the squad.
• Continuously improve product management processes by implementing the best tools and methodologies.
