The Product Manager will have the opportunity to work towards the scaling phase of a brand-new learning product which is currently between launch- and rapid growth phase. 




 



 Performance Objectives


 
Lead getAbstract’s new learning product “Actionables” incl. its product team like a startup. Define and deliver the team’s quarterly OKRs: You define the quarterly OKRs for the Actionables and align them with getAbstract’s senior management and the product team. Structure the product team’s weekly OKR check-ins with the help of data and customer feedback to review and celebrate previous week’s successes and define current week’s priorities. Together with the product team you are held accountable for delivering on the quarterly OKRs. 
 
 
Own the product “Actionables” and develop it further together with the product team: Use your quantitative and qualitative skills to know what users are doing with the Actionables and derive action items from it to improve funnel metrics. Do your own research about the market we’re competing and key trends in technology, customer behaviors and expectations and bring evidence-based insights quickly into the product team. Shape solutions that are valuable, viable, usable, and feasible. With your developer experience you challenge and shape engineering projects that add desired value to the Actionables. 
 
 
Embrace problems that are worth solving for getAbstract and figure out the best solutions to deliver the desired outcomes: In empowered product teams, you apply the right discovery techniques to come up quickly with solutions to test. You act based on facts and not opinions – even if that means that you must start over again.
 
 
Stay up to date with the latest developments in EdTech and Product Management: Test 3rd party technologies and analyze fit with getAbstract’s product and efficiency needs. Consult relevant resources and network with experts inside and outside of getAbstract. 
 
 
Embody getAbstract’s performance-driven product culture:  Demonstrate a growth mindset, make decisions based on data, and work with a high degree of ownership, autonomy and responsibility. You thrive in an environment that is transitioning into a product organization.
