Role
Who you are
- Experience in early-stage product management - running user interviews, leading brainstorming, roadmapping and agile product development, ideally in productivity or B2C, or a web-based user-facing and product-led B2B SaaS
- A flexible, egoless, arbitrator's mindset that looks to take in opinions, involve as many people as possible and influence the right outcome, fostering wins for others
- Abstract systems thinker, capable of comfortably waddling interminably in 'problem space', empathizing deeply with a host of different user's needs before emerging with the underlying principle and an approach to solving the need
- A passion for action and a rich toolbox of processes and frameworks to pick and choose from as fit and chuck aside as easily
- An unrelenting itch to solve a big problem and experience the adventure of leading a team from start to finish through that maze, growing, teaching and learning from that journey
What the job involves
- Like all startup roles, there will be a huge mix of work. You might be presenting our strategy to the board one day and filing UI bugs the next. You're both steering at 30,000 feet, and sweeping the driveway
- Define our product roadmap, working cross-functionally with the entire team - marketing, founders, design, engineering, etc. - to bring strategy and priorities to match with product functionality and our hands-on-keyboards capacity
- Run metrics and user research-driven product development iterations, setting KPIs and goals and helping the team reach its potential
- Find solutions to problems ranging from the new user experience to core functionality and getting multiple constituents' jobs to be done - from end users in different roles to SaaS vendors and admins
- Run user interviews
- Be the user's voice, making sure the execution matches expectations and prioritise delivery, delight, robustness, performance to maximize impact
- Brainstorm with the team about the next features to build and then put most of them in the backlog, never to be seen again
Application process

- 45 minuet Zoom call with our CEO

Our take
Tech solutions for team collaboration have never been in higher demand. The recent global events have fundamentally changed the way many people work, transforming business communications for every employee around the globe. This trend is likely here to stay, with many businesses switching to remote-first policies as a result.
Following this trend, Cord was founded to build a product that allows users to chat, leave voice messages, and start a video call with team members on any page, whilst also offering smart and real-time feedback, enabling teams to increase productivity and establish network effects. However, instead of trying to replace existing communication and teamwork tools, Cord is aiming to empower them all and transform communication in existing SaaS apps.
Top investors behind Notion, Slack, Figma, Canva, and Stripe have invested in the company, and leaders at Google, Twitter, and Tinder have worked closely with Cord to make their vision a reality. The real challenge will be in building its market as competitors, such as Sedna, Fuze, Element, and Blink, also aim to muscle into the space.
