• Work closely with our customers to understand how they're using our product, their needs, and pain points
• Partner with our Customer Experience organization to enable complex rollouts at our customers
• Develop pitches with Sales and Marketing that resonate in a market that's rapidly evolving

ABOUT YOU

• Have 3+ years as a Product Manager or related experience on workflow, analytics, or other technically complex enterprise products
• Possess an intense desire to understand, question, and improve the experiences for users of software products
• Have a track record or passion for building products in industries with high domain complexity
• A strong problem solver that can gather, prioritize, and drive execution on customer and business requirements, turning them into successful product strategies
• Are comfortable in a customer-facing role, including interfacing directly with highly technical stakeholders within customer organizations
• Are data-influenced, and can identify new opportunities and provide sound reasoning for strategy decisions from that data
• Are excellent at listening to others and articulating ideas in written and oral form
• Possess influential leadership and interpersonal skills that enable you to build strong relationships with customers, your reports, company peers, and executives
