Product Manager

Enterprise Partner Product Strategy

• Form a deep understanding of the current state of play in our creator platform, and identify the biggest opportunities for development and growth
• Work directly with Key Enterprise Partners who build on top of Substack to synthesize their requests and package them into roadmaps for durable product features that can be used across the rest of the Substack network and ecosystem
• Ensure enterprise-facing work ladders up into reusable primitives, systems, and platform capabilities

Roadmap & Execution

• Build a compelling roadmap at the short term, medium term, and long term horizons
• Help design and spec projects across the spectrum from experiment, to feature, to large-scale initiative
• Partner with your EM counterpart to inspire and lead a full-stack team of engineers, designers, and product analysts, creating clarity and accountability for them at every level

Cross-functional Leadership & GTM

• Work closely with the leadership team to ensure that your team’s product strategy and the overall company strategy are in lock-step at all times
• Fully own the product marketing and go-to-market strategy for everything the team ships

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience as a Product Manager
• A deep understanding of Substack’s product, user base, and market position
• Empathy for creators and a clear mental model for how creators use and benefit from Substack’s network and platform
• Comfortable operating at every level of abstraction (from high level product/business strategy to “what should the CTA say” level details)
• Deep experience with software design; you have demonstrated the ability to service user needs while balancing ease of use and flexibility
• Independent ability to build charts and tools using current software development tools (you can vibe code some things)
• Strong analytical skills, competence in SQL and experience with BI tools like Sisense; frameworks like cohort analysis and growth accounting should be second nature
• Strong communication skills: able to write a compelling strategy doc, internal or external blog post, and present to the company regularly
• An ability to roll up your sleeves and do what needs to be done
