    Job Description

    About the role

    OBM is looking for a Product Manager to own the direction and day-to-day execution of the established

    internal platforms our teams and customers depend on. Reporting to the VP of Technology, you'll

    connect what the business needs with what our software engineers/developers build, deciding what

    matters most, defining what "done" looks like, and making sure each release delivers measurable value.


    You'll work alongside software engineers/developers, our UX/UI Designer, our data team, and

    stakeholders across the company. As new products and spin-offs take shape, your scope is expected to

    grow with them.


    What you'll do

    • Serve as product owner for an established internal platform, quickly building a working knowledge of its users, history, and technical landscape so you can guide its next stage
    • Contribute to OBM's long-term product vision while owning the near-term roadmap and the decisions that move it forward
    • Uncover customer and business needs through user conversations, stakeholder input, and insights from the data team
    • Prioritize the backlog with clear, well-reasoned trade-offs about what to build now, what to defer, and what not to build at all
    • Write clear requirements and acceptance criteria, keep them stable once work begins, and share accountability with software engineers/developers for delivering against them
    • Partner with the UX/UI Designer to turn business needs into validated concepts before development starts
    • Partner with the data team to define success metrics, instrument new features, and analyze results after launch, so roadmap decisions rest on evidence rather than assumptions
    • Adjust plans quickly when business priorities change, working with software engineers/developers to re-plan and keeping stakeholders informed along the way
    • Communicate product direction, progress, and decisions across the organization in a way that builds trust and alignment
    • Spot opportunities for new products and extensions, and help evaluate which ones are worth pursuing

    Qualifications

    • 5+ years of product management experience, ideally on internal tools, enterprise software, or B2B platforms
    • A track record of taking ownership of an existing product and improving it in measurable ways
    • Strong prioritization judgment and the confidence to say no, with a clear rationale behind it
    • Experience writing requirements and acceptance criteria that software engineers/developers find clear and actionable
    • A data-driven mindset and experience working with analysts or data teams to define metrics, frame the right questions, and turn findings into product decisions
    • Enough technical fluency to discuss architecture, constraints, and trade-offs credibly with software engineers/developers
    • Excellent written and verbal communication, from sprint-level detail with the team to high-level updates for leadership
    • Adaptability and composure when priorities shift mid-stream

    Preferred

    • Experience in advertising, media, logistics, or another operations-heavy industry
    • Background launching a new product from concept to release, in addition to managing established ones
    • Experience managing more than one product or helping a product line expand
    • Familiarity with agile delivery practices and GitHub
