Description

Have you ever walked into a place and felt right at home? There’s an undeniable energy about the place. People are chatting, laughing and exchanging ideas. No one’s afraid to speak up. And everyone cares – about each other and about producing worldclass BI and FP&A solutions. This is Phocas in a soundbite.

We’re on a mission to make people feel good about data. We’ve been hard at it for over 20 years, helping over 3,000 companies turn complex business data into performance boosting results. Despite our global status, we’ve held on to our start-up roots. The result is a workplace that’s fast, exciting and fun.

We’re looking for a commercially minded, customer-focused Product Manager to drive our newest product initiative: Dashboards & Visualizations. This role is all about helping customers turn their data into meaningful insights through intuitive, effective visual storytelling. You’ll collaborate closely with designers and engineers to create a best-in-class experience for customers looking to make data-driven decisions with ease.

  • Define requirements and deliver the context necessary for our designers and engineers to create impactful, user-friendly visual solutions
  • Drive the project schedule from design to release, including coordinating market launch and customer adoption
  • Use customer data and feedback to inform design and implementation decisions
  • Test the performance of the new product, refine assumptions, and iterate quickly
  • Help shape the vision and product strategy for the company
  • Demonstrate a real obligation and responsibility towards customers, the product team, and other stakeholders
  • Understand our customers, the data we store for them, our business, and the industries we support
  • Write and own the business cases for your product initiatives
  • Collaborate with other product managers and designers to ensure a consistent customer experience across products 

Some of the things you'll need to succeed in this role

  • Strong track record of bringing SaaS applications to production quickly and efficiently
  • Experience in product management OR as general manager or CEO of a startup
  • Strong technical background and understanding
  • Excellent project management skills with a track record of delivering projects on time and within scope
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a data-driven approach to decision-making
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • BI/analytics experience/understanding
  • A growth mindset and a bias for action
  • Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and tools
