Senior Product Manager- Platform

Details

• Report to our Co-founder / Head of Product, Kapil Kale.
• PM the Platform team end-to-end. This team is responsible for security issues, AI infrastructure, security improvements, data / compliance, and technical upgrades, and you’ll be involved in all of it.
• Work across technical systems. This is a highly technical product area that requires close collaboration with engineers and comfort discussing architecture, tradeoffs, implementation details, and complex technical problems.
• Manage the team’s product roadmap. You’ll be working with stakeholders to help figure out what to build and when. When things are unclear, you'll resolve the ambiguity for the team.
• Frame up problems. You’ll be expected to explain what problems we are solving and why. This helps our engineers and designers understand how to solve those problems.
• Conduct research and analysis. In order to frame those problems well, you’ll need to collect supporting evidence–from user interviews, market research, and competitive analysis.
• Work with designers and engineers to devise solutions. PMs set requirements and then work with designers and engineers to select appropriate solutions.
• Collaborate without meetings. Tremendous has an async, non-meeting culture. This can be tricky if you're used to doing PM work in meetings.
• Persuade with a light touch. Not everyone will agree on priorities. It's the PM's job to drive decisions while keeping people in the process.
• Report back on what’s working. Once we ship, you’ll be responsible for helping the team understand the impact of their work.
• 4+ years of PM experience on a platform team (infrastructure, platform, security, search, data, etc).
• 5+ years of professional software engineering or engineering management experience.
• Exceptional technical fluency and problem-solving ability. You're comfortable discussing and solving complex technical problems with engineers.
• Strong product intuition. You can look at a problem and see the right solution.
• The ability to take a long-term strategy and a big feature backlog and translate that into roadmaps.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills. We’re a documentation-first culture, and this role requires communicating effectively with senior stakeholders.
• Comfortable making decisions without perfect information and moving work forward without being told to.
• Genuine empathy for users and teammates. You want to understand their problems.
• Competitive pay and equity. Base salary for this role: $250,000 to $325,000.
