Hi there We're Stotles.

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the team at Stotles

For a more detailed job description, head on over to → this Notion page ←).

About this role

We are hiring our first dedicated product manager! This role presents a unique opportunity to join a well capitalised product team at the "ground floor".

Our current product is best-in-breed in our market, but in the grand scheme of things, we are still "young". We have a huge number of untapped opportunities that will allow us to set the bar 10x higher.

In this role, you will take ownership of the current product suite and realise these opportunities to scale it from "1 to 1000". You will be working closely with the whole product team, including Carsten (co-founder & CPO), Piotr (CTO), and Phil (Lead Designer) to make this a reality.

As a company, we are also expanding our service offering via a new "0 to 1" product (see preview here). Much of Carsten's PM capacity will be occupied by this, which will leave significant latitude and responsibility for you to define and realise the direction of the current product suite.

On the spectrum of pioneers, settlers, & town planners, this role is somewhere in the range of "late pioneer" to "early settler".

The "first PM" role only arises once in a company's lifespan, so we are excited to find a dynamic, resilient, and very sharp PM to tackle the challenges ahead and raise the bar in a product team that is already firing on all cylinders.

What you'll do

• Partner with the product leadership (CPO, CTO, Lead Designer) in order to set the vision & strategy for our existing product suite
• Lead open ended discovery & exploration with users to shape future opportunities, and refine our understanding of our users & space
• Define the measures of success for an opportunity or hypothesis, and work pragmatically & creatively to achieve it
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with our amazing engineers & designers to bring new ideas to life. Bring the context, support, & guidance that will unlock the rest of the team's best work
• Quantitative & qualitative analyses of usage patterns, data quality, sentiment, understanding, etc. to track our progress, understand trends, and set future direction
• Work closely with the commercial teams to ensure that everything built is presented & delivered to market effectively
• Be the connective tissue between engineering, design, sales, customer success, & growth to share context, understanding, and progress across teams

What we value

• Strong experience. Estimating 5+ years of product management experience. You have been a part of shipping products that solve real problems for the people that use it. The closer the experience to data-heavy B2B SaaS products, the better.
• Obsessed with impact. With every move, you have the end goal in mind. You use creative solutions, effective teaming, brute force, whatever it takes in order to get there.
• Highly versatile thinking. Able to move from high level strategic thinking to nuanced implementation details. Able to identify and adjust for when a "quick and dirty" or "slow and perfect" approach is needed
• Strong judgement amongst ambiguity. You don't need all the facts to make a decision. You lean on both data & intuition to make a decision and proceed with conviction. A growth mindset that has a desire to make things better.
• Effortless communication. You can speak the "language" of each team, and bring those teams together in productive conversations
• Knack for quality and simplicity. You understand how to "absorb" complexity for users and distill what needs to be exposed to users vs. not
• Analytical mindset. Our product is data-heavy. Able to wrap your arms around new data quickly to understand it's key features, quality, constraints, etc. Complex relational databases don't scare you.
• Natural project manager. We work in small squads and lean on senior team members to steer the ship to the most impactful problems and work. Project management is a shared responsibility across engineers, designers, & product managers, but we expect you to set the best-in-class example for the team.
