Sr Product Manager, Gitcoin Labs

As the Sr Product Manager for Gitcoin Labs, you'll lead our day-to-day product management function, with ownership of our near-term roadmap. You will work directly with engineering and design to drive discovery of new customer needs, understand the market, and identify new opportunities for us to succeed in a rapidly-changing environment. Last year, we launched our all-in-one grants tooling (Grants Stack), built on top of the Allo Protocol, and are poised for enormous growth and adoption this year. This position is perfect for a seasoned product manager who is excited to seize a market-defining opportunity.

All product roles at Gitcoin are customer-facing, and you should be equally comfortable chatting with users on Twitter and Discord as you are prioritizing work with engineering. This position will have considerable exposure to leaders in our organization and report to the GM of Labs.

While some of our other openings require deeply specialized knowledge of the crypto & blockchain industry, the primary requirement for this role is a 5+ years of experience in product management and prior ownership of a product line or significant revenue-generating feature set. Experience in B2B SaaS or marketplace products will translate well into our environment, and experience working in open-source or Unix-style environments is a huge bonus.

Responsibilities:

• Connect often with our users and partners to understand their current needs, anticipate their future demands, and validate potential solutions that solve real problems.
• Manage a roadmap of both problems to be solved and actionable solutions that your team can collaborate on and implement effectively to continuously deliver value to users.
• Partner with engineering leadership, CTO, and GM to develop ways of working that encourage innovation and intrapreneurship while keeping our core functionality reliable
• Collaborate and communicate with stakeholders around the company to generate buy-in, integrate feedback, and ensure we are effectively communicating our value to customers and future customers.
• Becoming an expert in the Web3 grants space to understand the changing market landscape, and develop strategies to maximize our advantages, address risks and deliver measurable outcomes.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience as a Product Manager for software products
• Perceptive and creative leader and a reliable problem-solver
• Experience scaling products through constant learning and experimentation in fast-paced and rapidly changing industries
• Exceptional analytical skills and attention to detail; you understand how to dive into our user data to help make decisions (SQL familiarity is a huge bonus!)
• One day in crypto can be more eventful than a year in other industries. You’re cool with change, but know how to create stability for your team in this crazy environment.
• This role requires business fluency in English. You’re able to structure working hours within GMT-5 to GMT +1 and be online daily from 1pm UTC to 6pm UTC.
• Strong interest in Web3. Previous work experience in Web3 or a relevant field (marketplace products, open source) is an advantage.
