Senior Product Manager

PERCHPEEK -- SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER -- £75,000 to £90,000 pa (w/remote working)

 

Hello!

Thanks for checking out our job posting for the role of Senior Product Manager at PerchPeek. You’ve already taken a tiny step towards being a part of our team - huzzah!

We know that taking your next career step is as exciting as it can be scary. So, with that in mind, we’ve tried to keep our description simple and bull***t free to help you decide if PerchPeek and this role are a good match for you. We’ve tried to avoid using too many clichés but sometimes they sum it up nicely, so you’ll just have to wince and forgive us.

 

Who are PerchPeek?

Have you ever relocated before?

Did you manage to do it without swearing or rolling your eyes at some point in the process? Didn’t think so…

That’s because no matter where in the world you go it’s a crazy, chaotic process that’s always time intensive and stressful. PerchPeek was conceived to change that.

We’re at the forefront of changes to the workplace as knowledge workers have greater freedom to relocate than ever before. Over the past 12 months we’ve grown incredibly quickly, launching in 20+ countries, growing from six to forty plus people and raising our Seed & Series A rounds from top European & US funds.

PerchPeek’s aim is to guide people through every stage of their relocation. Our product is a delightful combination of content, tech, relocation coaches & partnerships which work together to make moving simpler, faster, more secure and even enjoyable. We start with helping customers decide where to live and only finish when they are settled into their new home and community.

 

Requirements

Here’s a more detailed overview of the Senior Product Manager role:

As you can imagine, building & maintaining a sensible Roadmap for the Relocator App is a challenging process and one that requires a high degree of skill. As the Senior Product Manager in charge of the Relocator App, you’ll have responsibility for our main product and ultimately be responsible for ensuring our Customer Satisfaction is continually improving over time. As a commercially proven Senior Product Manager, you will be very confident and up to speed with technology and dealing with technology/development teams. You genuinely enjoy the energy and pace of start ups/scale ups.

More specifically, you be responsible for:

• Product Roadmap - you’ll be in charge of creating, iterating and executing our product roadmap for the Relocator App
• Product collaboration - you’ll be responsible for ensuring that your team gathers sufficient insight both internally (Ops, Content, Tech, Partnerships) & externally (customers, clients) to feed into the product roadmap development
• Product discovery - you'll be in charge of working with relocators, relocation coaches and sales to understand which problems to solve next
• Working backwards - you’ll ultimately be in charge of building the platform that’s currently helping thousands of people relocate and will be helping hundreds of thousands over the next few years. You’ll be an advocate for relocators and ensuring a strong focus on solving their pain points
• Communication - you’ll be in charge of communicating the Roadmap across the organisation

 

A couple of additional areas to note:

• We are a remote first Company and so predominantly you’ll be able to work wherever you’d like. However, you may occasionally be required (quarterly) for wider team retreats.
• As a young Startup, we want you to contribute to other areas that interest you too. “Think Big’ is one of core values, so you’ll have the opportunity to drive the business forward in areas beyond Product too.

 

You should join us if:

Our core values align to your own values. These really matter to us, so we need them to matter to you. Before you consider applying, please take the time to think whether you’re ready to commit to each of them every day. You can check them out here.

 

In terms of the type of person we’re looking for:

• Customer Obsessed: Since it’s our number one value, we wanted to reiterate it here. This is especially important in this role because it’s crucial that you have the customer’s problems at the front of mind when considering how our product can support them
• Product execution: You’ve helped build & scale tech products before and are comfortable in guiding teams to translate vision to reality. A big plus point is if you’ve had experience working within a product that has a combination of tech & operations.
• 4 years+ as a Product Manager, ideally at Start ups/Scale Ups.
• Strategic: You’re used to thinking long term and experienced with planning & delivering product roadmaps, and including creation of new roadmaps
• Design: You have a strong sense of design & enjoy working in a Design focussed organisation
• Quantitative / Qualitative feedback: You’re experienced in using both forms of feedback to drive Roadmap development & prioritisation

 

Preferred Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving with the ability to use data to drive decision making around the product
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex concepts in a simple manner.
• Natural relationship building abilities and the ability to work with a wide range of people at all decision-making levels.
• If you’ve relocated before, terrific
• Fluent in English, but further languages are a huge plus - the more the merrier as you’ll be managing an international team

Benefits

• Salary for this role is £75,000 to £90,000 pa
• Company options - alongside the salary, most of our packages include valuable employee options so that you can own part of PerchPeek too
• Unlimited holidays
• Annual £1.4k learning & development budget - so you can get some structured and proactive growth outside of your core role
• Working From Anywhere - Perchpeek is a Remote First company that allows employees to work wherever they feel comfortable. Everyone gets an allowance to ensure their working environment suits them - wherever in the world you’d like that to be!
• Recharge days - take a day off to recharge, no questions asked.
• External mental health support access - because we can’t always all be on our A game and that’s ok.
• Time spent turning colleagues into friends (corny but we don’t care) - Socials, team days and an annual reTREAT
• MerchPeek - free stuffed Perchies (parrots) and other parrot themed SWAG of course!
• If there’s something else you need support on, we’re open to discussions too

 

We are open to applications from a range of candidates. We are particularly interested in those that have a background in consulting, programme management or business operations.

We are an Equal Opportunity employer committed to a diverse and representative team. Whatever your gender, race, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status or disability - we want to hear from you.

 

Ready to be a Perchy?

Then please share your CV asap…

You’ll hear back from us and if you’ve been successful, you’ll be invited for a quick video call with one of the PerchPeek team so we can get to know each other a bit better. Afterwards, if we think we might be well matched, then we’ll be doing a series of interviews with different members of our teams before making our final decision. All interviews will be conducted remotely via video call.

We hope you’re as excited to apply as we are to hear from you - Good Luck!
