Hello there,
My name is Liuda, I am a Sourcer.

I'm helping the product company Portside (a modern, cloud-based operating system for aviation) to find a Technical Product Manager.
You'll lead a new product initiative – a crew marketplace for matching crew members (pilots, flight attendants, aircraft mechanics) with companies looking to hire in this space.

**More about the company**
portside.aero platform supports over 150 operators of business jet, helicopter, medevac and government fleets, as well as fractional jet ownership programs, charter brokers and others in the business aviation industry. We are based in San Francisco with a fully remote team spread across the US, Europe and Asia.

**You will be responsible for all aspects of building a modern crew marketplace, including:**
- soliciting requirements from our business partners
- translating high-level vision for the product into concrete development tasks
working with a designer
- updating Confluence documentation and filing all necessary JIRA development stories
- discussing deliverables with the development team and serving as a functional / domain expert for the development team
- leading backlog estimation, sprint planning, and sprint review meetings
- prioritizing backlog and resolving dependencies and bottlenecks
- providing periodic progress updates to our business partners and others at the company
- communicating with third-party vendors and suppliers to resolve integration /API issues
- eventually demoing the product to the sales team and potential customers
- otherwise doing whatever is necessary to get an MVP of this new product into production and then continue building, enhancing and expanding

**Who you are:**
- a “roll up your sleeves, take responsibility and get code shipped” product owner
- you like taking ownership of a problem and coming up with creative solutions
- you are analytical and sufficiently technical to be in the details, however minor, of what you are building and how it works — this a role for a “doer” not a “visionary”.
- you are self-sufficient and can play the roles of a product owner, product manager, business analyst, scrum master, etc. without having to rely on others
- you are a hustler — if something needs to be done, you will find a way to get it done
- you like working with data and have managed complex API integrations in the past
- you are great with writing specs and technical documentation, as necessary
- you are an excellent communicator, and can explain complex concepts in simple terms
- you are comfortable making quick decisions and judgment calls; you are also self-aware, know your blind spots and know when to seek input from others
- you are self-driven, well organized, curious, and tenacious

**Must have:**
- prior experience as the sole/lead product manager/founder in an enterprise, SaaS, or a similarly complex product space, leading a team of 8-10 people in developing a software solution from the ground up
- excellent communication skills (English is required)
- strong attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills
- understanding of how REST APIs work, ability to read API documentation

**What we offer:**
- a rapidly growing product company with a globally diversified and stable customer base
- a fully remote position; work anywhere in the European time zone
- a modern technology stack and a friendly and professional team
- competitive compensation in the top 25% for any given market, position, experience and qualifications
- stock option plan participation, with vesting that begins on day one
- 2 team events per year organized by the company
- 20 paid vacation days + sick days + all official holidays in your location
- company laptop
- English class reimbursement

**Stages of communication:**
1. 30-60-min general conversation with Head of Product Alek Strygin.
2. 1-hour conversation with someone else on the team.
3. 30-60-min final conversation (optional).

We look forward to hearing from you! :)
