About This Role
As a Technical Product Manager at Ably, you will be at the intersection of technology, customer needs, and market opportunities. This isn't a conventional product management role; we seek an individual who thinks like a developer and is eager to create tools for fellow developers. You will combine deep technical knowledge with marketing acumen to successfully launch new products and enhance the developer experience.
In this role, you will become an authority in our market, platform, and, most importantly, our users. You will be responsible for the strategy, roadmap, and overall success of your product areas, transforming complex challenges into solutions centered around developers.
Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Lead a Visionary Product Strategy: Collaborate with founders, senior management, and engineering leaders to devise and execute a successful product strategy. You will oversee the lifecycle of key products and features from conceptualization to commercialization.
- Drive Product Adoption: Work cross-functionally with Sales and Marketing teams to articulate Ably's technical capabilities into compelling value propositions and successful launches, ensuring that our products not only launch but excel in the market.
- Engage with the Developer Community: Dedicate time to directly interact with developers, building a comprehensive understanding of customer feedback to prioritize and inform your product roadmap.
- Guide Engineering Outcomes: Act as a peer to our tech leads, providing clear problem statements and detailed UX wireframes or API specifications to enhance product development.
