Do work that matters.
At AlertMedia, everything we do supports our mission: To save lives and minimize loss by identifying active threats globally and facilitating timely communications when an emergency threatens personal safety and business continuity.
Our values, which reflect our view on what’s important and what’s right, include: We’re humans not robots, Customers always come first, We work better together, Simplicity is our strength, Our reputation is priceless, Hard work pays off.
As one of the fastest growing software companies in the nation, we’re focused on finding the best talent and building the best team to continue accelerating our rapid growth to keep up with our demand.
Our Product Operations Specialist works directly with Product Management and development teams to help drive consistent, iterative product improvement and make sure every day we’re developing and delivering solutions that help keep our customers safe. On one day, that might mean facilitating Sprint Planning & Retrospective sessions, while on another it could mean making sure requirements documents are translated into well fleshed out tickets with clear priority in the backlog. You’re not there to dictate the one true process to end all processes or to be the CEO of piece of the product, but rather to help each team find what works best for them with an eye towards Agile values and principles and ensuring we’re solving our customers problems while not neglecting those “keeping the lights on” type tasks.
Who you are:
You love using your strong organizational and interpersonal skills to help others be the best they can be. Working on a team to build a product that solves real customer challenges excites you. You’ve actually read the Agile Manifesto and know that it’s about more than just renaming all your meetings and writing user stories. When a conversation goes off the rails, you can rein it in while making sure everyone feels like they’ve been heard. You’re comfortable making day to day decisions about the priorities of different tasks and saying “no” to some tasks when you know it means you can say “yes” to something more important.
What you get to every day:
- Foster a team spirit of collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement.
- Facilitate regular meetings across several development teams, including stand-ups, retros, plannings, and backlog grooming.
- Use tools like Jira and Confluence to help facilitate an understanding of your teams' workload both within and across teams.
- Track and regularly report on teams' progress towards goals and milestones.
- Translate product requirements documents into workable, well fleshed out tickets for your teams.
- Triage and prioritize day-to-day activities related to features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
- Consume and help ensure proper instrumentation of product and engineering success metrics.
- Coordinate schedule, handoff, and project status updates at each stage of development process (definition, design, development, testing, documentation, enablement).
- Use strong verbal and written communication skills in collaboration with other engineering and product teams.
- Contribute to AlertMedia’s culture, values, and vision for the future.
What you bring to the role:
- 2+ years of experience in a Scrum Master, Product Owner, or similar role with teams building a SaaS product
- Excellent oral and written communication skills
- Ability to identify, analyze, and quickly resolve conflict
- Ability to make tough decisions about priority given finite resources
- Strong understanding of Agile values and principles and how to apply them to software development
- Familiarity with multiple Agile frameworks and techniques a plus (Scrum, XP, Kanban, etc)
- Strong desire to learn, grow, and experiment with new tools, processes, and frameworks
- English proficiency oral and written required
- This is a hybrid position (2 days a week) in our prime offices in the Reforma area of Mexico City where you’ll get to collaborate with our engineering team
