Platform Product Manager

Slack is a messaging app for teams that is on a mission to make your working life simpler, more pleasant, and more productive. We believe everyone deserves to work in a welcoming, respectful, and empathetic culture. We live by our values and hire accordingly.

Slack is looking for an experienced Product Manager to guide the design, development, and support of features to allow teams to discover and make use of integrations on Slack. Do you get excited about working on Platforms and want to help users find apps that make their working lives simpler, more pleasant, and more productive? Do you enjoy diving into details with your team and helping them succeed? Do you write great product specs and turn them into real plans?

* Define your features. Write specs and user stories, create wireframes, prototypes, test plans, release checklists. Communicate functionality and incorporate feedback. Rinse and repeat. * Prioritize your work and your team’s work. Manage the backlog of features. * Manage the daily workflow with a team of engineers and designers. Do whatever your team needs to help them keep moving. * Create and maintain your team’s roadmap and milestones. Work with your team to estimate, implement, and build features while ensuring that you’re working on the highest priority things you can be. * Partner with business development, developer relations and other cross-functional teams to define commercial features including pricing models, billing, and other “business” aspects of the Slack Platform. * Develop relationships with third party developers building on Slack’s Platform and ensure that they can thrive, innovate, and reach the teams for whom they’re building. * Represent your team in communication with product, engineering, and marketing leadership. Ensure we ship well-crafted product at a timely pace. * Get back to work. ;-)

* Product management experience on a platform, marketplace, or other commerce product is preferred. * Proven history of shipping and managing products with cross-functional teams. * Experience building out new product development teams (either as a direct manager or through informal leadership) and driving them toward a big vision as well as consistent execution. * Exposure or experience in developing pricing models for software distribution. * BA/BS/MBA etc. are optional but good. * Previous experience shipping and iterating on successful products. * Previous startup experience. * Ability to work independently, communicating across multiple time zones.
