Associate Product Manager, Vestwell

• The candidate must have a strong drive to execute and deliver and the ability to communicate with internal and external Development, Business, and QA teams
• You are someone who will dive into whatever creative challenge is placed in front of you, as you’ll have your hand in many of the following: writing product requirements, defining acceptance criteria and test cases, and working with UX to hone wireframes
• Professional experience as a business or data analyst or product manager
• Ability to thoroughly understand business requirements, define solutions, and specify functional requirements for use by the engineering team
• Experience with SQL or data integrations (e.g., APIs, JSON, XML, etc.)
• Ability to work in a fast paced, project-oriented environment, and meet deadlines under tight time constraints

Desirable

• Vestwell is expanding and we’re keen to add an amazing Associate Product Manager to our Product team who’s passionate about changing the retirement industry
• We’re looking for someone who loves to solve problems and is looking to level-up their Product Management skills
• The Associate Product Manager will focus on the coordination of the delivery of product enhancements from the requirements phase through user acceptance and production support
• We’re a startup so you’ll be actively engaging with people across the organization, while continuously driving priorities forward
• Your job requires an amazing relationship with operations, engineering, QA, and business stakeholders to deliver new product features that meaningfully impact the growth of our product
• Help define the scope of projects using input from Product leaders, business stakeholders, subject matter experts, and Engineers
• Break down complex business use cases into technical specifications
• Collaborate with UX to produce wireframes, and work with QA to create and execute test plans
• Work closely with Engineers to answer questions and redefine requirements as necessary
• Coordinate releases, and help business stakeholders manage communication and training around new functionality as necessary

• It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1 - 2 conversations about Vestwell, your experience, and your interests
• Next steps can vary by role, but the usual next steps are a skill or experience screen (e.g. a coding interview for an Engineer, a portfolio review for a Designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in-person interview panel after that if the screens go well
• Before making an offer, our interview process concludes with a references check stage for your recruiter to meet with a current or former supervisor and peer
• We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process
