The Impact of a Senior Product Manager at Coupa:
As a Product Manager on the Coupa Procurement team, you define and build products that drive tangible value for users. You operate at the intersection of the business community, engineering team, and user experience team and you represent the voice of the customer. You design and execute on new, innovative ideas backed by conversations with customers and procurement experts.
You must possess a unique blend of business and technical savviness; a big-picture vision and an internal drive to make that vision a reality. You must enjoy digging deeper, collaborating, rolling up your sleeves, and getting it done.

- Work cross-functionally to ensure alignment between other product areas and the wider organization
- Define detailed feature requirements in partnership with Engineering, UX, Services as well as customers
- Work closely with Engineering through design, build, test of requirements (stories), and documentation

- You connect the dots from multiple conversations to reach a higher level of understanding and an actionable point of view
- You are comfortable managing conflicting viewpoints and strong personalities to extract insight and close the loop

- You have experience building zero to 1 in the context of legacy systems
It would be great if you can also bring:
- BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Finance or a technical degree is preferred. MBA a strong plus
