Product Manager

We are open to remote candidates for this role

At MetaLab, we ship beautiful, successful products that are rooted in true business and user needs.

As a Product Manager here, you ensure that we aren’t just shipping features, but that we are shaping and shipping products that have a lasting effect on businesses and their customers. You’ll contribute to defining the core product vision and be integral to the successful delivery of the product through hands-on collaboration with your project team and clients. You'll work closely with the client to help shape business objectives and understand user needs, while supporting design and engineering in a multitude of ways.

Your responsibilities:

• Contribute to the definition of product visions and strategies through participation in product definition activities, such as research, success and objective definition, and roadmapping
• Partner to our client stakeholders in helping them make key product decisions to help them meet success metrics and goals
• Prioritize design and development activities to keep the team and client laser-focused on solving the right problem at the right time
• Lead ongoing requirements gathering, feature definition, and documentation for research, design, and engineering
• Create a wide array of product artifacts to support the design and engineering teams and keep them unblocked (eg: backlogs, user stories, sprint plans, briefs, requirements documentation, dependency diagrams, logic flows) 
• Collaborate with engineering leads and project management to define technical implementation methods, assess backend requirements, generate technical estimates, and mitigate delivery impediments

The must-have short list: 

• Experience shipping products through a variety of delivery methodologies
• Desire to be involved in both the shaping and shipping of products — even if you haven’t shaped a product before from scratch, you have a desire to learn more and be involved in the process
• Experience in and appreciation for user-driven product design and data-driven product refinement
• Able to write product features, specifications, user stories and requirements
• Ability to quickly understand, simplify, internalize, and communicate complex or technical concepts
• Have an understanding of product management's role in various delivery methodologies and what each discipline needs for effective documentation
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a remote environment
