Product Manager, HomeOwner Mobile App
HomeAdvisor is seeking a Product Manager to lead our homeowner mobile apps team in Denver. We are the leading digital marketplace that connects homeowners and service professionals. Over 40 million homeowners have turned to HomeAdvisor to find professionals for their repair and improvement projects. HomeAdvisor is evolving our experience to an on-demand model, and this role will be at the heart of that transition.
As part of our Product team, you’ll be responsible for the strategy, development, and delivery of the best possible iOS and Android app experiences that helps homeowners find and hire the right professional for their project.
What you’ll do:
- Drive the product vision – if you don’t own it and believe it, who will?
- Work closely and collaboratively with your team of designers, Engineers and testers to build the best customer experience.
- Develop a keen sense of our customer’s needs as well as the competitive and market landscape.
- Collect whatever data is necessary to inform product direction and performance – specifically user attitudes and behaviors.
- Dig in the data until the facts are clear. Report your findings, and turn them into actionable items for the business.
- Author product specifications for proposed features and functionality as well as detailed product requirements/user stories.
- Exhibit good judgment in balancing considerations for size of opportunity, scope of development and support costs, risks, and end-user experience.
What you’ll need:
- Demonstrated leadership ability and potential for future growth
- At least 3 years of relevant experience: consumer web and/or mobile product development, business analysis, and requirement writing.
- A bias toward action: preferring to work in a fast-paced, Agile environment
- Constantly advocate for the user and their needs
- Experience in an Agile/Scrum environment and a knack for working well with designers, developers, testers, marketing, and executives.
- Experience building relationships with app store representatives is plus!
- A track record of taking ownership over projects and helping them succeed; you make solid judgments, have good intuition, and reach decisions quickly.
- You don't need to wait to ask for direction, but know when slowing down to create buy-in is critical.
- Analytically minded. All your decisions are data-driven and supported by the data and research you’ve collected.
- You’re comfortable with basic quantitative and qualitative data analysis, and reporting on results.
- Strong collaboration skills: You strongly prefer working in teams, but you're comfortable working independently when necessary.
- Superior organization skills
- Self-motivated with ability to work under minimal supervision
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Demonstrable success and career ambition
