A Product Manager is a holistic, mid-level leadership role for larger teams with responsibilities that encompass the entire product lifecycle, leadership of the team, and fiscal management. Product Managers work closely with the Development team, Language Technology leadership, partners and supporting organizations, user communities, and leaders of field trials. A good Product Manager is expected to be a customer spokesperson, product visionary, team champion, and a strategic leader. The goal of this role is to develop and manage roadmaps and sprint priorities via robust processes for collecting and synthesizing user needs.
Product Managers should have experience in software engineering, a good understanding of the software development lifecycle, and experience leading development teams. A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or equivalent work experience is preferred, but we care more for a heart and mind that are always learning. 3 to 5 years' experience leading teams is preferred.
