- Provide input into product prioritization and help build our product roadmap
- Work with stakeholders to spec product features outlining the business/customer needs, requirements, and success criteria
- Work closely with design and engineering to prioritize, plan, and track development
- Communicate progress and demo new features to the rest of the company
Skills and knowledge you should possess:
- 3+ years of experience in product management of desktop software applications. Studio is cross-platform software running on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux
- Exceptional communication and organization skills
- Ability to work autonomously and lead product development efforts
- Capable of having productive conversations with engineers about technical tradeoffs in web and native app development
- Experience with quantitative and qualitative research
- Great UX sensibilities with a bias toward simplicity
