Techstars - Product Manager - Engineering

• 4+ years of product management experience in software, ideally at a company where you worked across multiple internal tools or platforms, not a single product • Proven ability to turn a loosely defined problem or request into a documented, scoped plan that an engineering team can execute on • Strong change management instincts: you know how to get stakeholders on board with something they did not ask for, and how to hold that relationship through a difficult transition • Experience working directly with engineers, you understand technical tradeoffs, can read a ticket, and know when to push back on scope • Excellent written communication: your PRDs, tickets, and async updates are clear the first time and do not require meetings to explain • Proficiency with Jira and agile/scrum processes, sprint planning, capacity management, and release coordination • Comfort working across a wide range of stakeholders from ELT to program associates, you adjust your communication style and know how to build trust at every level • A bias for action and equanimity under shifting priorities, you can hold multiple workstreams without losing the details • Analytical enough to define a success metric, instrument a feature, and know whether it actually worked • Experience in a startup accelerator, venture capital, or founder-services context • Hands-on familiarity with Salesforce, Metabase, Jira, and Notion as a power user • Experience managing a product through a legacy migration or platform consolidation • Background working with data or operational systems, you have worked on features that help non-technical teams get value out of structured data • Experience working at or with a small, high-autonomy engineering team
