Product Manager

How often have you been allowed to fail in your career? As a software company that’s focused on simplicity, we want you to fail. Over and over again, as many times as it takes to arrive at smarter solutions faster. This is how we stay at the leading edge, creating products that are changing the way the world works. And which are so easy to use, they make non-techy customers feel like super geniuses.

Want to work with a product customers love? Our Financial Statements application is one of the rising stars of our Financial Planning suite of products and it's so much fun to use our own CFO raves about it in his monthly updates.

Here's what you'll do:

• Deliver to market innovative and successful products that solve real problems for our customers
• Test the performance of new products, refine assumptions, and iterate quickly
• Help shape the vision and product strategy for the company
• Understand our customers, the data we store for them, our business, and the industries we support
• Define requirements and deliver the context necessary for our designers and engineers to come up with the best possible solutions
• Drive project schedules from design to release, including coordinating market launch and customer adoption
• Create and deliver internal training on new products
• Collaborate with other product managers and designers to ensure a consistent customer experience across products
• Report to stakeholders on the progress and success of product initiatives
• Figure out a way past each obstacle

Here's what you'll need to do it:

• Significant product management exposure
• Experience in customer research, business analysis, and project management
• Knowledge of agile software development methodologies
• A background in finance/accounting is preferred

You're data driven, independent and pragmatic. Highly customer focussed and task oriented, you enjoy a challenge and can get things done. You have excellent communication skills and the ability to influence others, share and drive a vision.
