R3 is revolutionizing the way business transactions happen with our distributed ledger technology, Corda. DLT, aka ‘blockchain’, allows for not only dramatic efficiencies in the way business transactions occur but enables new things that haven’t even been dreamed up yet. We are creating a new future for global commerce.
We are seeking a senior Product Manager to help us drive this revolution. As a senior PM, you will bring your experience to help lead the Product Management team to deliver a world-class blockchain solution with a great market fit. Product Managers live at the intersection of business, technology and the customer putting you in the centre of the blockchain industry. With a sense of urgency and determination, you will break down complex problems to make data-driven decisions that best serve stakeholders.
Product Management is responsible for building business and pricing models, identifying moves to grow the business in current and adjacent markets and representing products to customers and the market. The ultimate measure of your success is the success of your products in the market. You own the product roadmap and detail the functionality required to best capture the opportunity at hand. You realize a product strategy is a balance of technical capability, user experience, market forces and customer needs.
You will be the representative of our stakeholders inside a development operations (DevOps) squad and ensuring their success is your first job. As the hub for inputs on competitive insights, market forces such as pricing and the business models of our ecosystem you will be accountable for more than a set of features but the overall go to market strategy.
You love software and understand how to develop and deliver software. You should have the ability to talk directly with engineers on translating those needs to technical specifications. You will be adept at communicating with highly-technical engineering teams, often debating them on their terms – and will have a strong track record of driving market requirements into the engineering process through influence and persuasion and helping the engineering team understand the market’s true needs.
Juggling the competing demands of stakeholders should come naturally as you can communicate our ability to meet and deliver against requirements in a manner that allows our stakeholders to craft their plans in confidence. You translate this into a clear roadmap and communications to individual stakeholders. You will hold yourself accountable for the predictable delivery of a market fit solution.
As a team lead you will ensure the Product Managers have the resources they need and a clear plan of execution. You will grow the team to build a world-class set of product managers.
Being results-oriented you will shape, measure and improve against the KPIs that will lead to the greatest adoption of our solutions. You will design experiments and feedback loops for continual improvement.
About R3
We are a start-up with big ambitions and possibilities in the heart of a technology revolution. To succeed here you’ll need to be resilient to continual change, open to ambiguity and taking full ownership of from concept-to-production of some big ideas. Making this type of impact requires self-starters with an intellectual curiosity and drive to win. We need people who will think ahead of the curve not just do the job. It’s a lot of work, but a lot of fun. If you are willing to put in the hard yards you can be a part of something much bigger than a job.
