About the role
We’re seeking a Product Lead to join our dynamic team. This role involves translating business requirements into a clear, actionable product plan and ensuring the team delivers the right things in the right order.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with clients to understand their business needs, constraints, and objectives and turn that information into concrete product requirements.
- Translate those needs into a clear delivery plan: what will be built, in what order, by whom, and when.
- Define and maintain the product roadmap with precise sequencing of features, dependencies, and timelines.
- Work closely with Technical Project Managers (TPMs) to align on scope, priorities, handoffs, owners, and delivery expectations.
- Break down large ideas into clear, actionable pieces of work that engineers and designers can execute on without ambiguity.
- Made prioritization decisions based on business value, user impact, technical feasibility, capacity, and deadlines.
- Partner with clients to clarify user flows, edge cases, behavior, and required interactions, ensuring the product is understandable and usable.
- Partner with engineering to validate feasibility, adjust scope when needed, communicate tradeoffs, and keep delivery aligned and moving.
- Communicate clearly with all stakeholders, keeping everyone aligned on what is coming next, what is being worked on now, and what has changed.
- Review what ships, confirm it meets the intended need, gather feedback, and adjust future scope or sequencing accordingly.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product management experience, ideally across multiple projects or domains.
- A proven ability to turn business requirements into clear product direction: what we will build, in what order, and why.
- Strong prioritization instincts - you can weigh value vs. effort, handle dependencies, and make tradeoffs that keep teams moving.
- Experience writing clear product requirements, breaking work down, and defining the details needed for engineering and design to execute.
- Strong collaboration skills with TPMs, architects, engineering - you understand their workflows and how to coordinate across them.
- A practical, user-centered mindset: you think about how users experience the product, not just how it is built.
- Excellent communication skills - structured, straightforward, and able to communicate decisions, context, and changes to any audience.
- Comfort working in ambiguity, shaping clarity, and driving momentum in environments where not everything is defined upfront.
Qualifications
- Proven track record of delivering successful products.
- Experience managing cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
