Assistant Vice President Product Management Full Time NEW

The Role

The role requires a strong ability to independently assess the context of the problems/ situations and apply sound judgment to decide the right course of action. The individual needs to be proactive and have the acumen to apply first principles thinking in varied situations. This person also needs to demonstrate a tactical approach towards setting the course of Protium’s business strategy and objectives, and love for problem solving.

The role will involve communication with teams across Protium and external partners. There will also be multiple priorities to manage. Clear and precise communication skills will be required as well as the ability to independently craft solutions using exceptional problem solving and data analytics skills instead of seeking constant direction. You will also need to explain the technical challenges, approach, and solutions to non-technical audiences.

You’ll take the wheel of a complex, business-critical charter and have high impact on business. An ability to follow the standard operating procedures, owning the tasks and escalations end to end, and the drive to bring cases to conclusion will be important requirements for this role.

We’re looking for passionate and experienced people who can quickly recognize failure, take feedback, and iterate immediately, even if it means leaving behind our previous dreams of what the product could look like.
