The product management team owns the growth of the product by becoming "CEO of a specific product". We require PMs to own growth because building products alone is not enough. You'll own at least one entire flagship product as well as managing other junior PMs.
Responsibilities
- Product & Business Understanding: Quickly develop a strong understanding of the products being built, business strategy & organization goals.
- Domain Expertise: Since products are deeply technical & domain-specific (US Tax & Accounting), quickly build domain expertise, as it is a prerequisite to be able to contribute to product development.
- Product Roadmap & Development: Build the product roadmap based on internal/external inputs & market research. Prioritise & break down the features into workable chunks & then document workflows, design & engineering requirements.
- Development Pipeline Ownership: Ensure you have a pipeline ready for your design, backend & frontend engineering pods.
- Customer Interviews & Feedback: Conduct user interviews regularly, maintain the same to extract information to make product decisions. Build features based on customer inputs & maintain customer communication wherever necessary.
- Product Analytics: With every feature pushed, incorporate necessary analytics and build & maintain funnels for the same.
- UI/UX Ownership: Work closely with designers across all phases from brainstorming to ideation to deployment. You would not be designing screens, but you would need to present the UX concepts and ideate with the designers through iterations. You would be the sole owner of the UI/UX of your application.
- Product Pricing & Positioning: Do market research & competitor analysis - come up with a pricing strategy for your product
- Adoption: Drive adoption of the product/features with the internal & external stakeholders (Can be internal teams, partners, customers, etc).
- Growth: Define & execute the growth targets for your product, build internal & external outreach strategies, and lead cross-functional teams to achieve the growth metrics for your product.
