• 2+ years of Product Management experience
• Experience building and launching products
• Experience driving product, strategy, and design discussions

Desirable

• What’s unique about our product org is that it consists of cross-functional teams we call “squads,” inclusive of product managers, designers, data scientists, and engineers. There are no middle layers and you get to create, iterate and ship our product together as one, autonomous team
• As a part of one of these teams, you’ll get to own your roadmap and help make an industry-leading product that delivers on your vision for our customers
• As a Product Manager at Sprout Social, you will develop a deep understanding of Sprout’s product. You’ll be responsible for defining and driving the product vision, strategy and plan differentiation that enables the best Social Media Management experiences tailored for our customers
• You will be a leader on a team of designers and engineers gathering customer insights and shipping solutions that make our customer’s work lives better and help them get better results
• You’ll also be thinking about how to measure the impact of your work and adjusting your plan based on what you’ve learned
• You’ll be sharing your team’s plans, work-in-progress, and results with other product teams, marketing, sales, finance, success and any other partners vital to your team’s success
• Within 1 month, you’ll plant your roots, including:
• Complete Sprout’s New Hire training program alongside other new Sprout team members. You’ll gain a broader understanding of our product and how your role fits into the organization
• Partner with the Director of Product to set initial priorities and align on expectations for your role
• Start building relationships with engineers and designers in your product team (we call them “squads”) as well as across the broader Product Management team
• Try using the Sprout product yourself—to see it the way a customer does
• Within 3 months, you’ll start hitting your stride by:
• Lead day-to-day product execution for your team delivering value to customers every 2 weeks. You’ll identify project goals, write user stories, and organize releases
• Understand the engineering behind the Sprout product well enough that you can predict some product trade-offs and ask your team productive questions
• Within 6 months, you’ll be making a clear impact through:
• Begin analyzing our qualitative and quantitative research to start forming hypotheses about how our product can better fit our customers’ lives
• Facilitate quarterly roadmap planning for your team and represent the plan to the rest of Sprout’s product teams, including executive leadership
• Collaborate with other product managers for cross-team problem solving and feature delivery
• See a high impact project through from start-to-finish. You’ll assume ownership for results of your team’s product releases and how you learn from them
• Within 12 months, you’ll make this role your own by:
• Start developing a deep understanding of data. Begin efficiently accessing and analyzing the data needed using Redshift, SQL, Tableau, and other similar analytics tools
• Begin owning your squad’s performance against KPIs
• Build on your developing customer/industry expertise and take firm ownership of your team’s strategy. You will likely start identifying opportunities and generating hypotheses that a product manager from another team would not
• Be ready to take on new challenges to help your team and the broader PM organization -- including things we maybe haven’t even anticipated yet!
