About the Role

We're looking for a Software Product Manager who is eager to take the next step in their career—someone who has managed software projects before but is ready for more ownership, more impact, and a bigger voice at the table. In this role, you'll work cross-functionally with engineering, QA, product, and business stakeholders to define requirements, drive execution, and ensure we deliver high-quality software that supports our strategic goals.

You'll thrive here if you enjoy structured chaos, communicate with clarity, and bring a tenacious, proactive mindset to every challenge. We value people who do the right thing, own the outcome, get better every day, go above and beyond, and can be counted on when it matters most.

• Maintain clear documentation across projects, including specs, roadmaps, and progress reporting.
• Translate business goals into actionable technical tasks and ensure developers have what they need to succeed.
• Balance multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Provide visibility to leadership through structured reporting, forecasting, and communication.
• Contribute to long-term product strategy as you grow toward senior product management or product leadership roles.

• 3–6 years of experience managing software or technical projects.
• Proven ability to run sprints, standups, retrospectives, and other development ceremonies.
• Experience working cross-functionally to define requirements and deliverables.
• Strong understanding of Agile and Waterfall methodologies and modern SDLC practices.

• Excellent communication, organization, and prioritization skills.
• Ability to translate business needs into clear technical direction.
• A proactive, detail-oriented problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
• Desire to grow into senior product management or product leadership.

Nice to Have

• Experience in SaaS, startups, or fast-scaling tech environments.
• Basic technical understanding (APIs, integrations, software lifecycle).
• Certifications such as PMP, CSM, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with EOS or similar operating frameworks.
• Strong understanding of UI/UX principles, with the ability to identify usability issues and advocate for intuitive experiences.

Who You Are

You've been responsible for software projects before, but you're hungry for more. You bring a tenacious mindset to every challenge and believe in doing the right thing—even when it's hard. You take ownership, communicate clearly, and strive to get better every single day. You're someone the team can count on: dependable, collaborative, and always willing to go above and beyond to help ship great software. You don't just keep projects on track—you elevate the people and processes around you. You're also creative in how you approach daily challenges, able to quickly assess problems, think outside the box, and deliver effective solutions without losing momentum.
