Position: Product Manager-Associate

Overview:

Hi there! We’re Pet Services co., a Startup looking to change the way people interact with pets and fellow pet parents. We’re looking for smart and talented people to join our product team.

Pet Company is a Product company that puts today's most pressing pet-owner challenges at the heart of its solution. We turn the best pet-care practices into easily accessible digital solutions for every pet parent. With Leadership that brings over 5 decades of experience, we need someone to work with us on our product team, willing to be mentored by our senior product leadership.

What’s the role

You’ll shadow Senior Leadership and work closely to deliver all Product related documentation and deliverables. You’ll manage yourself around tight, yet realistic timelines and work on all areas of product development. You’ll learn about Product build, documentation, communication and GTM strategies and work on all these areas with the guidance of the team. You’ll be both helping your mentor Product Leadership carry out those responsibilities and learning as much as you can about what it takes to do so. This is a support and learning role, you will be working under the supervision of your Product Leadership, and your day-to-day responsibilities might be more tactical, with a focus on being meticulous with great attention to detail. Fundamentally, you’ll still be helping support your team’s larger product strategy and goals, which will involve tasks such as:

Collaborating with the product team to define the product vision and strategy.

Helping to set the objectives and key results.

Build a strategic product roadmap that fits in the overall organizational strategy.

Speaking to customers to collect feedback.

Working with the developers to deliver quality features and products within the expected timeline.

Prepare all Product and User Documentation and getting signoffs from key stakeholders

Managing Product feature lists and building prioritization roadmaps

Manage Product Releases and Manage Release documentation and build Release notes

The Skills we’re looking for

Honest Genuine keenness and interest in learning how to build Mobile-first, consumer-facing Products

Able to articulate and communicate precisely and efficiently in Writing and Speaking

Be unabashedly confident in expressing ideas, willing to risk offending rather than risk being unheard.

Bring top class attitude and moderately high aptitude in learning

Bring deep thirst and curiosity about how everything works

Willingness to take instruction and crush tasks within timelines

Exceptional attention to detail, yet be willing to prioritize getting-done over being precise

Willing to take risks within your orbit of work

Willing to make independent decisions when inputs are unavailable, without affecting deadlines.

A background in Engineering and Math is preferred

What’s in it for you

We genuinely care about improving your skills and offering you learning opportunities. You’ll work with some of the brightest minds in the industry and learn from world-class product people, as you build and scale your knowledge. Your remuneration will be at par or above the industry with benefits and perks to help you enjoy and focus on your passion and skill development. This position is remote, and you’ll have liberty to use methods and work styles of your choice. You’ll be encouraged to be an independent thinker yet get the mentorship you need to succeed and grow. We welcome you to ask anything you need including benefits to help you enjoy your work.

We assure you, you’ll participate in a culture of learning, growing and independent thinking, with a lot of ownership opportunities. We win together :)

Your qualifying assignment:

If this role excites you, write us a quick note of intent (about 500 words) telling us why you think you’ll be a good fit (talking about your education and life experiences) and what you want to learn from this role. Tell us something unique you bring to a team of highly talented and smart people. Your interview will be around your note of intent, that indicates what you can do for the team and not about what you’ve done in the past.

We can’t wait to hear from you…now let’s get on with it!
