Job Description:
- We are looking for a Product Manager (for digital transformation) to join our Product team.
- You will work with the Product Director and Product Team to understand the needs of the client. You will gather the requirements on not just what they say they want, but what they really need.
- Working hand in hand with the commercial lead and product director, you will attend client meetings to discuss the product needs and the proposed solution; including market forces, the company pain points, marketing of the product and overall strategy of the company and the specific product. You will work to feed this information back to clients and confirm all assumptions and hypotheses.
- You will be responsible for creating the user stories, persona, lifecycles and flows in the product as well as either overseeing or creating wireframes and interacting with the design team to make the wireframes into draft designs and final designs.
- You will oversee the build process, using Scrum, Kanban or Waterfall methodologies and you will be responsible for making sure the QA and the Product Owner (if applicable) are clear in their work load and their specific tasks to help you deliver the sprint and complete build process.
- You will be responsible for estimation of work and the communication of the work, stories and tickets to the development team in a clear and unambiguous way. You’ll oversee testing of your product.
- You will be working on 2 to 3 client projects at a time, which whilst interesting will also be demanding and you’ll need to be able to clearly prioritize your time and efforts.
- You will be confident of making decisions, explaining your processes and thoughts both internally to the team and to our clients, and have experience of consultative agency approaches, where we need to lead the client and not the other way around.
