What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager position at Boom?
Our mission
Boom is on a mission to level the playing field for the 110 million renters in the US by making housing more flexible, affordable, and rewarding. Boom is building a suite of rental financial services for renters and property managers, including tenant screening, rent payment reporting, rent reporting-as-a-service, and a number of integrations with the largest property management systems (PMS). Boom serves renters through the Boom App and property managers via the Boom Platform. Now serving thousands of renters, Boom is led by second-time founders Rob Whiting (ex-BCG, Rubicon) and Kirill Moizik (Eco, Technion, Grubhub). It's backed by investors such as Starting Line, Clocktower Ventures, Gilgamesh Ventures (Petal co-founders), and angels such as William Hockey and Zach Perret (Co-founders of Plaid) and Harry Stebbings. Boom has been profiled by Inman, Business Insider, HousingWire, and more.
Opportunity
You will directly own the roadmap and execution for at least one of Boom's products. You will report directly to the Head of Product, and work closely with the Co-founders (CEO, CTO), engineering team, and designers. You’ll need to be able to toggle between deep detail (e.g. user experience flows, payment flows, technical documentation) while keeping the broader business strategy and product direction in mind. This role is a great fit for someone who is highly-organized, works well cross-functionally, and wants to ship real products and features; it’s not a great fit for someone who wants to do market analysis, benchmarking, slide decks, etc. Lastly, in this role you’ll be involved in senior-level company decisions and work closely with a talented team from places like BCG, Amazon, Grubhub, Eco, and others. Given the seniority of the role, this role is based in Austin with our leadership.
What you'll do
- Create and maintain the product roadmap (alongside the Head of Product, CTO and CEO)
- Own and report out on key product analytics metrics and stay close to marketing analytics metrics
- Write business requirements wireframes (for design) for product requirement docs, working closely with engineering
- Serve as the primary interface with design
- Lead all product handoffs / releases
- Lead, alongside the Head of Product, external product communication (feature launches, user guides, API docs, FAQs, email communication, etc.)
- Become a domain expert - deeply understand customers, competitors, vendors, industry trends, etc.
- Support Boom’s customer discovery, and translate learnings into new features, refinements, or new product pilot sprints (which you will also lead)
