Product Manager
Provi is innovating the 240-billion dollar alcohol industry—do you want to be part of something game-changing? We were a hungry team in 2016 when we started and we’re still a hungry team, living our values—Host, Serve, Deliver and Celebrate—every day. We make sure that as the company grows, our people grow too and we’d love to have you on board.
Frequently cited statistics show that women and underrepresented groups apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. But guess what? No one ever meets 100% of the qualifications. Trust your experience and apply!
Provi has achieved product-market fit across the three tiers of the beverage industry with asimple premise: make ordering easier for retailers, distributors and suppliers. With our payments products, we’re extending that value prop by providing the easiest, most seamless way for retailers to pay for their orders and distributors to accept payments. As the Product Manager for payments at Provi, you will scale a pilot product that is central to our business strategy and be part of a team of engineers, designers and product managers all working to build the simplest way to buy and sell alcohol in the beverage industry.
Responsibilities:
- Work with a team of engineers, designers and other product managers to define, prototype and launch innovative solutions that meet needs of customers -- both retailers and alcohol distributors -- and business goals in scalable ways
- Think holistically about your product area of focus. With input and context from other product teams and business stakeholders, own roadmap-building, prioritization and execution. This is not an optimization role; you will be instrumental in taking Provi from 0 to 1.
- Keep the user problem that you’re solving top of mind -- and ensure that the rest of the organization is as well. Intake user feedback -- both qualitative (user research studies, surveys, and focus groups) and quantitative (onboarding funnels, usage trends) -- to determine new feature sets and iterations on existing functionality.
- Be accountable for outcomes not output. Understand the business opportunity, the ROI of what you’re proposing and the impact of what you’ve built. Communicate that impact to your team and the broader organization. Do not ship it and forget it. What you do matters.
- Collaborate daily with engineering, design and operational leaders to build amazing and thoughtfully planned experiences.
- Own the execution and excellence of your product area. Be scrappy. Solve problems. Do what needs to be done.
- Be both a teacher and student to your peers in the product team. Help the product team as a whole continue to improve. Help facilitate and maintain our team dynamic: open, encouraging, productive. Lead with empathy. -
- Above all strive to make the Provi team, business and product great.
Preferred Skills:
- At least 3 years of experience in execution of tech-related projects preferably in an Agile software development environment.
- Understanding of marketplaces and commerce-related products (checkout, payments, advertising, merchandising and more) from user-facing experiences to the underlying APIs and algorithms that power them is required. Experience with payments products -- both from the money movement mechanics to consumer-facing UI -- preferred.
- Proven track record of getting things done and done well with lots of examples of projects you've spearheaded.
- Analytical mindset and data-driven decision-making experience.
- Amazing written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfort with ambiguity and the grit to turn uncertainty into action
