I am looking for an exceptional product manager to lead the development of exciting new software products. You will take ownership over your products, and through your understanding of the customers, the business, and the wider landscape, you will define the goals and roadmap, ensuring that product development is prioritised and planned according to agile principles. Build incrementally, measure what works, and iterate on top.
The right candidate will be a dynamic self-motivating individual with an understanding of what it takes to plan, build, and support great products. You will be comfortable driving user interviews and product planning sessions, as well as getting into the detail with the engineering team. You will measure success, keep an eye on the market, and advocate for strong approaches to product development, while taking good account of the expertise of your colleagues in design, engineering, and R&D.
Role responsibilities:
* Define the goals, strategy and roadmap for your designated products
* Understand user needs through interviews, user testing, and data analysis
* Collaborate with the development team to create user stories and acceptance criteria, ensuring all involved have a shared understanding of the problem space and the customer requirements
* Own & prioritise the product backlog
* Define and track metrics to make sure your product is on the right track, delivering real value to the customers
* Work with data including analytics, ERP data, and other usage information to drive product decisions
* Act as subject matter expert, providing support to areas of the organization including Sales, Marketing, QA, and R&D
Apply if you have:
* At least 2 years' experience working as a product manager in software development
* Owned and developed successful digital products or product features
* Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain business concepts to technical people and vice versa
* A track record of working closely with agile development teams, even if not co-located
* Used data to drive decision-making
* Enjoyment from how technology, design, and processes interact to create products, tools, and approaches to accomplishing outcomes
Some nice-to-haves
* Demonstrated success in taking a greenfield product to market
* An interest or background in agriculture or adjacent industries
* A scrum or other agile qualification
* Understanding of business analysis processes and UX design patterns
* Proficiency in user story mapping, customer journey mapping, or other product management processes
What comes with the role:
* A super cool team of like-minded people who support each other to be our best.
* An international group of talented individuals from different cultural backgrounds.
* Flexible work arrangements.
* Clear career opportunities from day one.
* A personal development plan to help you with the training to further develop your career.
* Competitive salary & regular performance reviews to keep you growing.
* Access to the right tools and equipment for your work.
* A platform to share your ideas and make a real impact to the production of food around the world. It's an opportunity to promote sustainability and better land management!
* 25 leave days per year + your birthday as a free holiday
* Drinks, snacks in the office and occasional team socials (if you want to join in and when we're out of lockdown!)
