Product Manager (Risk & Analytics)

About the role

As a Product Manager for the Risk & Analytics team at Overstory you will be part of an exciting team, working closely with a designer and engineers to build the Overstory core product. This team is on a mission to translate our risk and analytics into tools and visualisations customers can understand and use in their everyday activities.

Overstory product was launched three years ago and we are now at a stage of tremendous growth. The product needs to evolve to serve more customers use cases and to tackle more aspects of the climate resilience space.

Your job will be to lead the product development process, defining customer problems to be solved, building consensus around the best way to solve them and meet our business objectives. You’ll work in an agile manner, learning from our customers, iterating quickly, and deciding when to build for a scalable future and when to hack it together. The role will encompass all hands-on PM work such as writing problem statements, balancing product discovery with shipping fast and deciding on success metrics. It will also include defining team roadmaps, contributing to product strategy and supporting internal teams during the delivery process. 

The exact parts of the product you’ll be working on will depend on the needs of the moment.

About you / What a successful candidate looks like

You’re comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with working at an early-stage startup and you don’t need to have everything well defined before you act. You can think both short- and long-term so that you can meet near-term deadlines while iterating toward a future vision. You’re able to zoom out and think strategically, while also being extremely detail-oriented in the hands-on work of building a product. You understand that effective communication is an important part of strong product management, so you present your work clearly and frequently to teammates and customers. You have a passion for the urgency of solving our climate crisis. 

Requirements

• You are obsessed with shipping fast to learn even faster.
• You have exceptional verbal and written communication skills in a fast-paced environment.
