Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of product management experience, managing software products from creation through launch and iteration
- Direct experience managing product managers
- Direct experience building mobile (or hybrid mobile) products, or in the consumer app space
- Deep experience with user research best practices
- A nuanced understanding of the methods of modern product discovery, product delivery, and user segmentation
- Experience communicating product updates, milestones, and progress to internal and external partners with the ability to align different teams around achieving business goals and outstanding user experiences
What the job involves
- We are looking to add a Group Product Manager to shape the vision of our two startup businesses in the social media space: Unfold and Bio Sites
- You will lead teams that build mobile-first tools for creators, allowing them to publish, edit, and monetize content
- You'll improve the existing product experience, work on new features that redefine the future of our social products, and reinforce Squarespace's mission of being an all-in-one platform
- As a manager, you will lead a team of two PMs and promote a unified vision across these two product spaces, ensuring that the teams deliver value for our users
- While most of your time will be spent as a 'coach', there may also be times when the team could benefit from having you fly at a lower altitude
- You will report to the General Manager of Social & Creator Products
- Directly manage product managers and provide coaching and support to grow their careers and deliver value for our customers
- Establish a clear vision for these two groups that roll up to the broader Squarespace vision
- Guide product development—from conception to launch—of the products and product solutions in your scope
- Build relationships with engineering and design leader counterparts, team members, UX researchers, and product analysts to create extraordinary products
- Partner with marketing to launch new products, with customer operations to develop excellent support for merchants, and with analytics to monitor engagement and evaluate product success
- Build internal frameworks for defining team strategy and lead opportunity sizing projects
- Independently assess product tradeoffs, develop a comprehensive roadmap, explain a clear viewpoint on a product direction, and gain stakeholder support
- Develop high-level insights about your product area by conducting research, data analysis, customer interviews, and usability testing
- Set OKRs for your teams with your engineering and design counterparts
- Seek out opportunities to promote your team's work
Our take
Chances are you have already landed on a website developed using Squarespace. Millions of small businesses, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals have used the company's suite of products manage their projects and businesses through websites, domains, e-commerce, marketing tools and scheduling.
Thanks to its ability to allow anybody to build a website without any coding knowledge, Squarespace has positioned itself as an industry leader, despite fierce competition from the likes of WordPress and Shopify, who are both larger businesses on paper.
Since its creation in a dorm room in 2003, Squarespace launched a direct-listing on the New York Stock Exchange in May 2021 with a valuation of $6.8 billion, though this has dropped to $4.8 billion in the proceeding few years. Nevertheless, Squarespace has expanded to offer a wide range of tools that go beyond simple website production. The company remains focused on further developing new capabilities, all whilst maintaining its overall goal of simplicity.
