About the role

At Dayshape, we’re investing heavily in our product.  With this comes increased headcount in our Product Management team, so we’re introducing the Group Product Manager role to provide strategic leadership across the increasing scope of our ambitious roadmap.

This role is one of two Group Product Managers in the team and reports directly to the VP Product & Cofounder.  The role has two primary responsibilities:

• Product Leadership: overseeing product development and setting the vision and direction for the Platform & Data side of the Product & Engineering organisation. This includes teams that look after software architecture decisions, infrastructure, data architecture and integration APIs.

• People Management: line management and coaching Product Managers and/or Product Owners who are working in their team.

In addition, it is expected that GPMs will:

• Retain elements of hands-on Product Management at times, whether to explore early-stage ideas that do not fit within the capacity of their team, or to provide cover for members of their team.

• Act as a senior representative of the Product team, for example in customer or prospect meetings or industry conferences.

What you’ll do

Product Leadership

People Management

• Provide leadership and line-management to a team of 3-6 Product Managers and/or Product Owners

• Run 1:1s and support personal development planning with their team to fostering their professional growth

• Be a sounding board and a reviewer for their team, to coach and provide advice and guidance on their decisions

About you

To be successful in this role you’ll need to be:

• Technically minded – it is likely that you moved into Product Management from an Engineering background and you’ll have a good understanding of engineering concepts and risks

• Highly adaptable—comfortable moving between internal stakeholder meetings, customer calls and technical discussions

• An exceptional communicator, able to build trust, challenge others and explain complex ideas clearly

• Intelligent and quick to grasp new concepts

• Confident working with uncertainty

Bonus points if you:

• Have worked in/with the professional services industry

• Have experience with complex ERP or project management software

• Have experienced being part of a scale-up
