In the last few years, remote and hybrid work has had an explosion in popularity, giving workers an unprecedented level of access to opportunity and an increase in quality of life. However, our existing tools were not set up to do remote work well. Work can be isolating, transactional, and void of the camaraderie that makes everyone feel like they’re in it together.
To solve this, Gather builds virtual offices that bring the best of in-person work to remote. We’ve already seen success with our approach, with over 10,000 remote-first companies using our spaces every day.
And yet it’s still the early days for our broader vision of the Metaverse. We’re excited about how the Metaverse can break down physical constraints that exist today, not just in where you can work, but which friends/family you can see, or what educational opportunities you can have access to.
Join us in this mission!
Role overview:
Gather is a small team right now, which means every PM has an extremely significant role in shaping and executing the company's vision. We are working on some of the boldest bets in the company’s history, and we are looking for a strong product lead to help drive core parts of the next generation of Gather.
Where you will make an impact:
- Use a combination of data, research, market trends, and the team’s instincts to articulate and socialize the strategy for your product lines
- Define short and long-term goals, and own the short and long-term roadmap that we believe will reach those goals
- Partner with design and engineering (as well as go-to-market) teams to deliver projects from inception to experiment to fully launched
- Develop a strong operating model and set of processes to get things done based on project & team needs and constraints
- Spend lots of time with prospects, customers, and members to develop empathy for our end-users and to develop an informed perspective on how to best address their needs
- Think outside of the box to solve problems with novel and creative solutions that are made possible by virtual offices
What you bring:
- You have 5-7+ years of experience in a Product Management role. At least 2+ of those years in a PLG company
- You are scrappy, have a bias toward action, and love moving fast
- You have experience working alongside engineers, designers, and customer-facing teams and have shipped products at scale
- You have the ability to be hands-on and in the nitty-gritty details while also being able to zoom out and define the big picture
- You have exceptional verbal and written communication skills for technical and non-technical partners, internally and externally
- You are comfortable in ambiguous situations and dynamic environments and understand what fast-growing startups entail for PMs
- You have excellent design sensibilities and are technical enough to develop strong relationships with your design and eng counterparts. SQL experience is also a major plus
- You enjoy spending time with customers and are adept at getting to the root problems that your product is uniquely positioned to solve
