Role
Who you are
- A proven track record of shipping user-facing products, with 5+ years of consumer product management experience
- Demonstrated experience managing complex and cross-functional initiatives including planning, execution, and delivery
- A technical background, are intensely curious about the technology that powers the products you work on, and have a deep level of data fluency
- Strong decision making skills with a balanced view of data, domain expertise, and gut instinct
- Ability to translate technical jargon into human-readable ideas and concepts (and vice versa), and are comfortable communicating anything from project status updates to long-term strategic plans to diverse audiences including senior leadership, stakeholders, and your peers
What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced Product Manager (open to varying levels of experience) to join SeatGeek’s Product team to help shape and execute our product strategy and roadmap
- SeatGeek is a product-centric organization that prides itself on beating industry competitors through a superior user experience (think: not Ticketmaster)
- Our product culture is defined by our high quality bar, a “ship early and often” mindset, and a transparent and autonomous environment
- Manage a portfolio of small, medium, and large product initiatives, united under a clearly-articulated Consumer product strategy. You’ll prioritize, define, build, and iterate on features to improve and expand this portfolio
- Build and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders, developing a firm understanding of their needs, dependencies, and priorities - and translate that into a long-term product roadmap
- Make product decisions backed by quantitative and qualitative data, mixed with an innate sense for what will delight our users
- Anticipate bottlenecks, manage planned and unplanned work, make trade-offs, and balance speed with quality
- Partner with an engineering counterpart on planning, execution, and delivery
- Proactively communicate updates on deliverables and outcomes to stakeholders, and be an ambassador for your product area to the product team and broader organization
- Provide mentorship to other product team members
- Suggest and implement process improvements to improve product planning and development
- Advocate for and act as an ambassador to the rest of the company for an owned product vertical, communicating work and celebrating wins

It continues to onboard enterprise clients, expand its international presence and release new products such as "Next Fan Up", positioning it well for future success.
