About the Role
This role is targeted at product managers with enterprise experience. Our sales cycle, GTM and customer feedback loops involve spending hours a week with customers, which means that we need product managers who are adept at navigating the complex dynamics between customer feedback, product strategy, and internal resourcing constraints.
😍 Understand and delight customers. Spend hours a week with customers. Understand billing problems better than seasoned finance pros. Ensure that customers trust and love Metronome.
🗣️ Inform product strategy. Work directly with the co-founders to articulate a strategy that balances short-term customer needs, long-term strategic opportunities, and ecosystem-wide trends in the market.
🧠 Pick the right problems. Identify the key problems Metronome needs to be solving by understanding the market, our unique strengths, and the technical opportunities afforded by our product. Work with engineering and design to ensure we’re never wasting time pursuing boondoggles.
📈 Prioritize impactful features. Understand which features actually matter to our users, and solve them in a way that generates the impact without taking years to ship.
⚓ Ship features efficiently. Work directly with engineering and design so that product features make their way through the product development pipeline as quickly and safely as possible.
👔 Tie the room together. Product is the heart of Metronome. You’ll spend lots of time working with internal members of our sales and marketing teams to ensure they always know the state of the product and how to message features to customers.
