JOB DESCRIPTION

Our commitment

You’ll significantly impact in a dynamic environment that fosters autonomy, ownership, a product-driven mindset, and a focus on measurable outcomes. You'll have countless opportunities for discovery, innovation and hands-on building or implementation.

3 reasons to trust us:

1. We have a small product team, which means you'll need to work autonomously, take ownership of your responsibilities, and proactively launch initiatives to enhance team performance.
2. The product team is central to the company, playing a crucial role in ensuring smooth collaboration across all departments. Maintaining alignment through the product will be key to our overall success.
3. Discovery is vital. Our product is complex, serving diverse personas, so deeply understanding our users and identifying new opportunities will be essential.

• Collaborate closely with other Product functions

You will work hand in hand with Product Designers to ensure the solution you are delivering is a good fit with the problem identified. You will also work closely with the Product Marketing Manager to build an effective release plan that guarantees its adoption.

• Collaborate closely with other teams

Work closely with cross-functional teams, including our Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing, and Sales team, to develop and launch new product features and improvements that deliver value to Shipup and drive company growth.
