Company mission
To revolutionize hourly work and build the world's leading platform for hourly workers.
Role
Who you are
- Analytically-minded - You have 5-7 years experience in a product management role that requires data-driven decision-making, ideally in startups
- Insight discovery - You are able to gather and synthesize all types of data to make product roadmap decisions
- Product strategy - You have experience developing, prioritizing, and communicating product roadmaps that align towards business objectives. You are able to make sense of ambiguity and convince others of your plan
- Execution skills - You’re able to collaborate with design and engineering teams to design, develop, test, ship, and iterate on the product in an agile model
- User empathy - You have the ability to empathize with customers & users, and communicate, align, and build trust with internal stakeholders
- Influence - You effectively partner with others to get things done even without formal authority
- Clear communicator - You are an excellent writer (memos, slides) and excel at making the complex simple to empower decision making
What the job involves
- Own the product roadmap for your pod, define product requirements, and communicate progress across all teams
- Define, track and drive key business metrics (e.g. shift fill rate, new workers, user retention)
- Partner with teams such as Engineering, Design, Data, Customer, Marketplace, and Growth to understand business needs and translate that into product and feature requirements
- Be an information magnet. You will understand what is and what is not working for our customers and our users, then use that information to shape and define the product roadmap
Our take
Labor force participation is at an all-time low in the United States, and companies across the board are struggling to combat the shortfall. Shiftsmart’s solution is a dynamic labor marketplace, matching workers on their platform to temporary gigs, and helping companies fill gaps without committing to, or having to attract, full-time talent.
Shiftsmart’s network of over 1.2 million workers serves big-name enterprises like Google, HP, Apple, and Levi’s, and is part of a growing industry of staffing solutions for hourly workers that have been seeing big VC investments over recent years. Driven by the gig economy becoming more normalized and demand for flexible hours increasing, Shiftsmart saw its revenue increase by nearly 400%, and they put this success down to a competitively unique business model that sees more control being put in the hands of workers and employers alike. They have now done work in over 57 countries, and are operating tens of thousands of shifts each week.
Some user feedback suggests the company still has some kinks to iron out on their platform, with multiple complaints about delayed or missing payments. But with thousands of successful, efficient job placements found over the last few years, Shiftsmart are making strides in an area that looks set to remain in high demand.
