The opportunity:

Would you like to help re-define the way large scale software develop is done? Would you like to be on the forefront of the next big movement since DevOps?  We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to help an amazing team take our core technology platform to the next level.  

Day-to-day you will be largely responsible for the platform all of our products are built upon. You will be tasked with guiding continued investment in the technologies, architectures and feature-set to ensure our flagship products continue their relevancy and market dominance. You will also be responsible for making tough decisions and tradeoffs regarding what we need to build, and what features we need to add to our existing platform.

Following your ramp-up you will have developed a good understanding of the business impacts & market changes that affect our platform, and use this understanding to best inform your decisions.

Working alongside our engineering team, you will be responsible for developing more efficient, cost effective processes & methods and technologies to streamline our development and maintenance.

This is your chance to make an impact, both within Tasktop and the software development industry as a whole.


Who you are:

  • Experience with handling a significant volume of inputs (often contradictory) and make effective, logical and defensible decisions based on that input
  • Ability to make decisions and operate comfortably without full information and clarity
  • Able to communicate effectively and directly with customers and partners to both understand their needs, communicate our plans and handle escalations
  • Ability to liaise with engineering at a technical level to ensure engineers understand the business context of what we are creating to help them make effective trade-offs during development
  • Ability to communicate with our executive management team and various departmental stakeholders to both understand their needs and distill business priorities
  • Ability to creatively design features and execute on those designs, working with engineering, customers and user experience designers
  • Ability to mentor and delegate work to more junior product team members
  • Ability to manage a backlog and work with engineering leaders to create effective and achievable release plans that are engaging and clearly articulate the business value of what is being delivered
  • Ability to think critically with speed and flexibility to identify and understand complex use cases

 

What gives you an edge:

  • Bachelor's degree in technology or technology management related field
  • 5+ years of experience in product management in the technology space
  • Experience delivering technology products/services in a high growth environment
  • High attention to detail and proven ability to manage multiple, competing priorities simultaneously
  • Extremely strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Demonstrated experience as a strong leader who can prioritize, communicate clearly and influence across cross functional teams
  • Proven track record of taking ownership and driving results
  • Ability to think strategically and simultaneously manage tactical execution
  • Curiosity to dig into metrics to understand key business drivers and whether they are useful inputs to measuring and managing a business or process
  • A Product Management Certification is a definite asset.
