- Conflict resolution and alignment skills: Ability to navigate competing priorities and build consensus across product, marketing, and engineering teams
- An entrepreneurial spirit and eagerness to try new things and be innovative
- Excellent communication and presentation skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and customers
- Customer obsession: You crave talking to customers to understand their challenges and bring their voice into your decisions
- Comfortable manipulating and analyzing data to make informed product decisions, particularly around user behavior and retention
- Empathy for small business owners: Understanding of and compassion for the struggles of owning a small business

What the job involves
- We are looking for a seasoned Product Manager with deep product-led growth (PLG) experience to drive member-focused thinking across an entire product pillar
- This isn't just any PM role—we need someone who has lived and breathed the PLG playbook, understands consumer-grade UX expectations, and knows how to build products that activate and retain users at scale
- As Alignable's Lead Product Manager (PLG-Focused), you'll be the product lead on a cross-functional squad that includes UX, Engineering, and a dedicated Growth Marketer who will work as your partner to achieve shared funnel goals
- This collaborative model is critical to our success—you'll own the product experience while your Growth Marketing partner owns the messaging and lifecycle campaigns, but you'll share the same success metrics and work as one unified team
- You will help us build tech-enabled products that create best-in-class social referral and networking experiences for small businesses, with a particular focus on driving 40-day retention of paid users
- To do this well, you'll need proven experience building modern, engaging experiences in PLG environments where user activation, adoption, and retention drive business growth
- Core Success Metric: 40-day retention of paid users - this is your north star
- You will own product experiences that drive retention and engagement. Starting with strategic focus areas, you will collaborate with your Growth Marketing partner to select target OKRs and work with Engineering, Design, and Growth Marketing to identify and prioritize initiatives that improve long-term user value and stickiness
- You will work in a true product-led growth model, generating and testing hypotheses about user behavior, balancing qualitative and quantitative data with your product intuition. You'll deliver value quickly through iterative releases, track impact on both activation and retention metrics, and adjust based on what you learn about user engagement patterns
- You will excel at cross-functional collaboration with Growth Marketing. Unlike traditional PM roles, you'll work hand-in-hand with a dedicated Growth Marketer on shared funnel optimization, conversion experiences, and retention strategies. Success means seamless collaboration where product and marketing feel like one integrated experience to users
- You will have significant impact and support. Our culture is dynamic, collaborative, and offers tremendous opportunities to grow your career. You'll work directly with experienced founders, receive mentoring from seasoned product professionals, and have the opportunity to grow your PLG expertise and responsibility
Our take
Building and maintaining a small business is no easy task, especially in more turbulent macroeconomic conditions. As many small businesses face an uncertain future, Alignable supplies a solution for owners to build stronger relationships with other SMBs, and support each other's endeavours.
Put simply, Alignable is a social network for small business owners. It boasts 8 million users, making it the largest SMB referral network in the world, and creates value by enabling users to generate and share leads, build relationships and offer advice to one another.
Lately, it seems Alignable has been focussed on expansion, making efforts to scale its workforce and grow its outreach and user base. With such a unique offering, the company has a clear opportunity for impact as well as the chance to consolidate its market lead.
