Senior Engineering Manager (Growth)

Have you ever been dreaming about building your team from scratch in a global fast-growing startup? 🚀

Dream no more! 👏

As an Engineering Manager, you will have an opportunity to build a new Growth team from scratch and lead it to change the growth trajectory of our business.

The topics that you will work on will have an outsized impact on the success of Productboard. Productboard will trust you and your team with data-driven experimentation to create a customer-centric onboarding and effective monetization model.

Sounds great? It can get even better! 👇

On a typical day, you will...

• Lead a team of five growth engineers to deliver value (aka features) to our exciting portfolio of customers including UIPath, Zoom, Avast, and Electronic Arts.
• Coach and mentor your engineers, helping them to become the best version of themselves.
• Maintain a healthy, collaborative culture in line with the company values as we navigate through hyper-growth
• Define and improve team processes and ceremonies. All in the name of removing any blockers, enabling the team to focus on what's important
• Define the strategy for the team and set the long-term objectives and goals in cooperation with your team’s Product Manager
• Participate in conducting user research, analyzing and presenting the findings
• Team up with your Product Manager and Product Designer to evangelize the importance of Growth work and the best practices both in and outside of the company.
• Communicate growth insights and progress to cross-functional stakeholders.

We do not expect you to be the strongest engineer on the team, however, you need to have the relevant technical knowledge to understand the team's domain. Your main focus is to have a multiplying effect on the team's output.
