About the Team

At Side, the Product Team owns end-to-end product design, from leading research studies to creating prototypes and high-fidelity mocks. Each Product Manager at Side is responsible for a large scope and thus drives a significant impact for our users and the business. We build products iteratively based on data insights and user feedback, and generate insightful assumptions about our users and their needs. We run user tests and develop prototypes to check our hypotheses and solutions and learn what to do next. Although data is how we make decisions at Side, we believe that collaboration, teamwork, and communication are critical to that process. We exercise transparency when talking to our partners and team and speak to our process, prioritization guidelines, and why we do what we do.
