About the Role

We are looking for a Technical Product Manager to develop products around the needs of their end users. Product decisions should be driven by whether they solve real problems and whether users choose to adopt and use the resulting solutions.

This role spans product discovery, technical solution shaping, and delivery. You will have direct access to users and ownership of product priorities. You will need to quickly understand their context, uncover the needs behind conflicting requests, propose effective solutions, validate assumptions, and drive changes through to measurable outcomes.

The pace is fast, so we expect you to validate critical assumptions, identify and manage risks, and make informed decisions without waiting for perfect information.

Responsibilities

• Speak directly with end users and domain experts, study their workflows, and identify needs they may not express as feature requests
• Turn requests from users, customers, and other stakeholders into clear problem statements, hypotheses, and solution options. Resolve conflicting needs using evidence and explicit trade-offs
• Choose fast, appropriate ways to validate ideas, such as interviews, prototypes, workflow reviews, usability tests, and analysis of actual usage. Account for operational and security constraints
• Set product priorities independently. Weigh user impact, value, urgency, risk, implementation effort, and cost of delay, and explain the decisions to the team and stakeholders
• Define what success looks like for each meaningful change: its baseline, target outcome, measurement approach, and point of review. When quantitative data is limited, identify useful qualitative signals and how to collect them
• Work with design and engineering on end-to-end user flows, edge cases, business rules, acceptance criteria, non-functional requirements, and system dependencies. Explore technical trade-offs and give the team enough clarity to build without unnecessary documentation
• Stay involved through delivery: answer questions, remove blockers, validate released changes with users, and adjust priorities based on what you learn
• Communicate decisions, reasoning, risks, and open questions clearly. Escalate issues that require a decision outside your area of ownership

Requirements

• User-centered product thinking: You start with the problem and the context of use, rather than a requested feature. You can uncover underlying needs and check whether a solution works in a real workflow
• Initiative and ownership: You propose next steps, alternatives, and a reasoned recommendation when information is incomplete. You know when to make a decision and when to involve the person accountable for a specific risk
• Rapid validation: You choose the smallest useful test of an assumption, define what you expect to learn, and adapt when the evidence changes
• Impact-based prioritization: You can explain why a problem matters now, what evidence supports that judgment, and which opportunities the team is deferring
• Technical judgment and delivery clarity: You can break down a problem into primary and exception flows, acceptance criteria, and constraints. You can discuss integrations, data flows, access control, error handling, and dependencies with engineers to reach a feasible solution
• Clear communication in a fast-moving environment: You can make decisions understandable, respond to new information, and work across user groups and stakeholders without relying on lengthy approval cycles for every step
