We are on the search for an
experienced and awesome Product Manager to lead a dynamic product and design
team on our mission to build our next generation platform and updated suite of
products and apps.
As a Product Manager on our team,
you will work alongside Shotgun’s co-founders and product managers and develop
the long term product strategy and short to long term roadmaps, communicating
and validating both internally and externally. You will be a unifying force for
the entire product team, mentoring and supporting each product manager while
also implementing just the right amount of process and tools to keep the team
united while moving quickly. Most of our team members work from home offices
and are located in different parts of the globe. This role can be home-office
based.
And you’ll work closely with the
other department leads, such as engineering, marketing and support, to
continually improve the way we work together.
Ideally, you would have
worked on a large cloud platform product, with hands-on experience both
launching something new and scaling something really big. Desktop/native
software experience is also a plus, since we do that too.
Join Shotgun and be a part of
the film, tv and games industry’s widest adopted platform for project management
and collaboration. Thousands of artists and their teams rely on Shotgun every
day to stay connected and work efficiently on the world’s most amazing
