We connect people through technology by being the strongest link between companies, their ideas, and their clients. We do so by excelling at digital strategy, creative design, full-stack development of websites & web/mobile apps, and digital marketing. 

As a Product Manager, you will be involved in every aspect of the product development process, you must have some design and technical proficiency in order to confidently be able to work with the team. You’ll be working directly with our clients to devise product requirements, estimate project schedules and discuss budgets, as well as lead design and development teams to create new web and mobile products.

Product Management is not a one-size-fits-all job, we want someone who can think at a high level about creative strategy and vision - not just ‘how it looks’ but ‘why we should build it’. 

 

Responsibilities

  • Sketching and prototyping ideas to test the viability and how interactions feel

  • Iterating ideas based on feedback from the whole team and our clients

  • You will take ownership of the results when your product ships because you understand that shipping is the beginning, not the end. You own the success or failure of your product work in the marketplace and are free to show it and discuss it in the product community.

  • You initiate design and engineering sprints to improve shipped work

  • Talk with customers to understand user behavior, paints points and needs

  • Translate this insight into ideas that will make our clients product offering better, both disruptive new products/features and detailed tweaking of the existing product
