An Internet Startup: Senior Product Manager
Location: San Francisco, CA
URL: http://www.aninternetstartup.com/
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the team at our brand new (but well-funded) startup. We’re based in downtown San Francisco and we can talk about what we do when we meet up, but we think it’s pretty cool.
We have the foundations of a great and disruptive product, and we need you to come help navigate endless product ideas, documentation and release schedules all-the-while never compromising quality.
The kind of stuff you’ll be doing:
- Thinking about interesting problems (and preferably how to solve them)
- Ensuring that our service, projects and releases are delivered on time and to specification and quality standards
- Create and educate people on tools, methods and processes that help us do the above
- Working closely with design and engineering to create, maintain and communicate release schedules
- Get us from business objectives to products, features and roadmaps
- Prioritizing feature requests and bug fixes
- Working at a very diverse, energetic and early stage startup
The kind of person we’re looking for:
- Extremely (scratch: pathologically!) detail-oriented and well-organized
- Pitch perfect sense of what will and what won’t resonate with mainstream users
- Thrives in a diverse team of people, and can express themselves logically and persuasively
- Good understanding of how large-scale web apps are built
The kind of experience we expect:
We don’t think there’s a well-documented recipe to become a great product person, so diverse backgrounds are great, but we do expect you’ve done something like this before and that you have the scars (or CV) to prove it.
We can promise the usual startup-life of hard work, fast pace and lots and lots of responsibility. Luckily we also have some benefits, like health, dental and 401(K).
To apply: Please email us at jobs@aninternetstartup.com with the subject 'Senior Product Manager' and attach your CV in PDF, HTML or some sort of text-format, and we'll get back to you.
