About the role
Hi, my name is Megan Berry, Senior Director of Product at Customer.io, and I’m looking for a Senior Product Manager to help us turn customer signals into products people actually want.
Our team is six product managers who partner closely with Design and Engineering to launch first-class products that drive customer and business outcomes. You need to be able to synthesize customer research, market research, analytics and your own taste into a customer-first roadmap and set of releases. You will work with a cross-functional team with a high level of autonomy to validate ideas early and help the team ship excellent work. This role focuses on Workflows.
What we value
- Surfacing customer problems based on qualitative and quantitative data.
- Driving alignment through effective communication.
- Performing market research and presenting findings.
- Using AI to accelerate discovery.
- Helping our teams ship sooner.
What you’ll do
- Identify and validate customer problems through user research, usage analytics, partner insights, and AI-powered discovery tools.
- Rapidly prototype and run focused experiments to test hypotheses and de-risk new ideas early in development.
- Lead cross-functional planning by aligning Engineering, Design, and business stakeholders around clear product goals and trade-offs.
- Drive feature strategy and influence roadmaps by proposing initiatives rooted in customer impact and market opportunity.
- Break down complex projects into incremental, testable releases, using component reuse and system thinking to accelerate delivery.
- Define product success metrics upfront and track adoption, engagement, and retention to inform iterative improvement.
- Take on Technology Lead responsibilities for specific initiatives when needed, including data analysis, prototyping, coordinating engineering work, and managing delivery risks.
- Look at product metrics after launch and work with GTM stakeholders to ensure your launches are successful and create the product and business outcomes we want.
What we’re looking for
- 7+ years of product management experience, ideally including time in B2B SaaS or platforms that leverage behavioral data for automation or messaging.
- Strong analytical skills, comfort with metrics dashboards, and experience using data to shape direction and evaluate impact.
- Proven ability to lead feature development independently, reduce scope, and deliver successful outcomes with tight teams.
- High product intuition balanced with humility and experimentation. You’re comfortable being wrong and eager to learn quickly.
- Exceptional written communication and decision-framing abilities, especially in remote and async-first environments.
- Experience using or developing AI-powered tooling in your product workflow.
- Technical background with demonstrated ability to build basic web applications, write scripts, and work with engineering teams on topics such as data models, APIs, and performance requirements.
- Track record of serving as a point of contact or DRI for engineering initiatives, with the ability to choose objectives and navigate trade-offs.
- Experience with products that involve complex workflows or automations is a plus.
