Senior Product Manager

About us:

Based in New York but fully distributed, Shortcut builds project management software for software and product teams that people actually want to use - just ask an engineer how they feel about Jira. Thousands of the fastest-growing software companies use Shortcut to plan and build software, including Glossier, Venmo, Daitaku, Scale AI, FullStory, LaunchDarkly, and others.

The role:

The Product Management team at Shortcut is small, well established, and growing. PMs work as part of a squad made up of design, engineering, and product to drive our product forward. Squads are responsible for specific KPIs or focus areas and have a lot of autonomy and accountability over their focus areas. Product Managers also work closely cross functionally with Customer Success, Marketing, and Leadership. You will have the opportunity to work with a collaborative and product minded team to build project management tools you would actually want to use. We aim to empower our teams to have responsibility over the applications they deliver, and you will provide the expertise, tooling, and structure to enable that.

Shortcut is an excellent place to share and grow your Product Management skills.  The team offers strong mentorship in a collaborative and supportive environment. We also offer a generous educational stipend to help you continue to develop your skills.

What you'll do:

• Own, and be accountable for, a product area and associated KPIs and OKRs
• Take responsibility for collaborating with PMs, engineers, UX designers, and other stakeholders to ensure on-time delivery of features
• Partner closely with the Design team and Engineering teams in day to day 
• Develop business requirements and specification documents
• Lead the team in product planning, roadmap development, and long-term strategy planning
• Analyze product data to derive insights to assist in prioritization and post release measurement
• Perform customer interviews and research to validate feature concepts and unlock insights.
• Act as a subject matter expert within the organization for the product area

There is also opportunity for possible mentorship or management of an associate PM in this role.

You should have:

• 5+ years of experience managing platform products, shipping great software, effectively driving prioritization, and identifying and making key tradeoffs
• Experience as a product manager of technical products, especially developer platforms or products heavily driven by APIs
• Demonstrated ownership and accountability for a revenue line, run the business KPI, or product area
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Strong attention to detail and project management skills

Extra credit (nice to have):

• Experience mentoring or managing others
• Product experience building SaaS tools, collaborative editing tools, and/or productivity tools
• Experience working with fully remote teams

Even if you don't meet all of the requirements listed, we still encourage you to apply. Job requirements are a wishlist, not a checklist, and we're happy to help the right candidate grow into this role - if you're excited about Shortcut, we're excited about you!
