The Product Manager is a cross-functional position that requires taking ownership and responsibility of a product and all issues and considerations related to it. As a Product Manager, you’ll be the bridge between product stakeholders and the development team, taking the business requirements and defining the product requirements. Success depends on your ability to have deep knowledge of our customer's journey, the Welocalize business, and the impact of data.
A Product Manager is responsible for establishing a formal plan for serving the stakeholder community. Finesse is required; we must minimize the demands we make on stakeholders while gaining a solid understanding of their roles, perspectives, and needs. This role requires comprehending the organization, market, services, and the teams that deliver them,
and translating that understanding into a product vision and roadmap. A Product Manager must maintain consensus around the product vision and champion it throughout the organization.
A Product Manager does not have direct management authority over the development team; however, to be effective in translating vision to reality you must lead through influence. By translating the complex business requirements into clear product requirements, building realistic plans that can be implemented, and delivering solutions that are adopted by users, a Product Manager will gain the confidence and trust of developers.
As a Product Manager, you must be endlessly positive, share credit, be fearless, and help set the tone for our culture.
