**THE OPPORTUNITY**
This role requires someone who is great in wearing multiple hats, is a swift learner and can weather the storm and push the product forward.
Product Management teams at Friday PM leads the integration of computer vision, hardware, engineering, data science, and design to achieve the company’s vision for reinventing a modern workplace.

**THE COMPANY**
We are Friday PM – a workplace evolution platform (www.fridaypm.com).
Our mission is to make every workplace in the world set up for productivity, inspiration, happiness and business efficiency.
Our platform helps enterprises leverage behavioral analytics and embrace new working methods - far beyond a hybrid.

Using Personality Traits science, Computer Vision and AI, Friday PM analyzes office space together with new-gen employees’ working modes and habits and then recommends a hybrid workplace design custom-tailored to the way people work.

Friday PM was born out of an internal R&D project at Star in 2018, and since then, it has grown into a state-of-the-art solution for workspace monitoring, management and analytics. Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision are at the heart of our product concept, and, in our case, they are not just a set of buzzwords.

**YOU**
Minimum of 4 years of relevant experience.
Advanced level of English.
Strong communication skills and intuition for communication strategy with a client and stakeholder.
Ability to conceptualize, manage, and prioritize multiple projects for stakeholders.
You are proactive and self-directed in learning.
You should have practical experience in pre-sales/sales.
Detail-oriented with superior organizational skills - balancing multiple projects, deadlines, and requests should be second nature to you.
You are the champion of excellent user experience and let nothing stand in-between you and a product that delights users.
New domains do not slow you down; instead, you dive into them with a healthy “challenge accepted” attitude.
You are a great communicator – with customers, internal design, and engineering teams.
You thrive in a busy working environment.

Friday PM has already signed clients representing worldwide enterprises. However, we remain a startup. Since early-stage companies aren’t the right fit for everyone, we focus on finding unique individuals who have great entrepreneurial talent and will thrive in our startup environment.

Feel free to apply to this position if you match all the below personality traits:
- **"Can do" attitude.** You don't mind going above and beyond your job description; you roll up your sleeves and pitch in.
- **Bias towards action.** You are not waiting to take action until you get all the details; you are comfortable acting with only 65% complete knowledge and discover the rest on the go.
- **Adaptability.** You can operate in a space of ambiguity, quickly process new information and use it to influence your actions, even if it's a U-turn.
- **Collaboration.** You communicate clearly, actively listen to others, take responsibility for mistakes and respect the diversity of your colleagues.
- **Intellectual horsepower.** You are driven to get smarter and better at what you do; you're fond of picking up new responsibilities and wearing multiple hats.
