What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager position at Descript?
Descript's vision is to put video in every communicator's toolkit. Back in the day you needed like six monitors and a bachelor's degree to edit video. Descript lets you do it by editing a document. In the future, maybe you won't even need that! But building a new way to record or generate, transcribe, edit and mix spoken audio and video comes with a series of unique design, technology, and business challenges. In other words, we need really good product managers.
As a Product Manager, you'll be responsible for defining the strategy, building the roadmap and shipping features for one of our product teams. We're a small, flat team. You'll work closely with a team of world-class PMs, engineers, designers, researchers and product marketers who are all driven to do the best work of their careers.
What you'll do
- Develop a deep understanding of our customers, market, and product opportunities
- Drive company-wide strategic initiatives that have meaningful business impact
- Be a highly visible, highly influential strategic leader at the company
- Own and drive the feature roadmap for your team, from idea generation through to execution and analysis
- Collaborate with design, engineering and marketing to ship product features that delight our users and deliver meaningful impact on Descript's business
Who you are
The base salary range for this role is $170,000- $250,000 / year. Final offer amounts will carefully consider multiple factors, including prior experience, expertise, and location, and they may vary from the amount above.
About Descript
Descript is building a simple, intuitive, fully-powered editing tool for video and audio - an editing tool built for the age of AI. We are a team of 150 - with a proven CEO and the backing of some of the world's greatest investors (OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, Spark Capital).
Descript is the special company that's in possession of both product market fit and the raw materials (passionate user community, great product, large market) for growth, but is still early enough that each new employee has a measurable influence on the direction of the company.
Benefits include a generous healthcare package, catered lunches, and flexible vacation time. Our headquarters are located in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. We're looking to hire people who are local and able to join us at the office when needed. We're flexible, and you're an adult-we don't expect or mandate that you're in the office every day. But we do believe there are valuable and serendipitous moments of discovery and collaboration that come from working together in person.
Descript is an equal opportunity workplace-we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We believe in actively building a team rich in diverse backgrounds, experiences, and opinions to better allow our employees, products, and community to thrive.
