Overview
As the head of Product Management, you’ll join our Client’s Executive Team with full P&L responsibility for our new subscription product line, targeted to be a key revenue source. Because our client is a 70-person mission-driven organization, you’ll also ensure direct results by pitching in, project managing, and executing as necessary to ensure results. An ethos of “roll up your sleeves and get it done” is shared by all.
Your Qualities
- You have an instinctual knack and love of the art of persuasion, with a demonstrated ability to influence stake-holders at all levels.
- BA or BS required; MBA preferred.
- You are a leader and a manager. You instinctively see what needs to be done and can map out who and how it can be done effectively within the given competencies of your team and available resources.
- You have had been responsible for full P&L of a product basket.
- You have experience with hands-on management of products from beginning to end of their life cycle.
- Proficient in products sold with a strong focus on leveraging digital/informational marketing tools to sell to consumers. (ex: websites, web optimization, e-marketing)
- You have the ability to hold a strong point of view, combined with a flexible and open mind that accepts input and adapts gracefully.
- You’re grounded and unflappable, flexible, and dependable.
- You possess an inquisitive, active and incredibly quick and sharp mind that grasps both what is being said, while being able to detect the nuances of what is being shared between the lines or behind the scenes. You’re good at drawing out what needs to be seen or heard and then integrating it into plans and workflow.
- You have a high emotional IQ and can navigate complex human dynamics with grace and ease.
- You’re an exceptional listener, who listens, comprehends, negotiates, and loves a back and forth that ultimately creates something better than where you all started.
- You have a can-do, get it done, let’s make it happen, “bootstrap it if necessary” mentality. You’re good at delegation but you can also get it done as you quickly build and grow your team across time.
- Experience with high-volume, low-cost subscription products preferred.
Your Mindset
- You have an entrepreneurial mindset with a focus on ROI. You think about the resources available and the way to maximize them. You likely have a parking lot of best practices and good ideas that you will fold into workflow across time as you grow the team.
- You have a love of optimization and continual improvement. You frequently ask, “What can be seen in the data and in the results, and how could it be made better?” You then act, observe, repeat.
- You have a holistic mind that looks at the whole puzzle as well as the individual pieces. You see how all the pieces can best fit together so there is flow and congruence across all platforms (which coincidentally makes the marketing and sale of the given program or product easier).
- You are a natural at strategy – how do we do X and Y now such that it not only generates immediate results, but also sets up step Z for later. You also find opportunities that serve multiple goals – not just better ROI, but also in ways that drive new product introduction.
- You have a gifted mind for details, planning, workflow, systems, and process.
- You have a strong interest in personal growth and development – you’ve taken courses, read books, created regular practices, etc. to expand, improve, and refine yourself.
- You are mission-driven and have purposefully found ways to make a difference, give back, and contribute through your work or personally.
- Although not an engineer, you appreciate the value of data analytics and optimization.
