About the role
The Associate Product Manager helps evaluate, define, and deliver features for O3’s project planning and execution platform, working with customers on capital projects worldwide. You’ll start by evaluating feature requests and potential solutions with our Product Team, talking directly with customers to understand their problems, and partnering with engineering to ship features users adopt. As you build depth in the product and the industry, you’ll grow into owning a product area of the O3 platform as a Product Manager, typically within 12–18 months.

- Evaluate incoming feature requests by assessing the underlying customer problem, its value, and its urgency to inform prioritization.
- Conduct user research and testing to evaluate potential solutions.
- Write PRDs that frame the customer problem, planned solution, and launch requirements.
- Develop user stories and acceptance criteria for product enhancements.
- Test developed features to confirm they meet the needs of users.
- Define success metrics for released features and track adoption with each client.
- Drive successful implementation and adoption of released features with the appropriate clients.
- Contribute to our library of product visuals (images, GIFs, and videos) and to the onboarding tours and materials that help new users adopt the product.
- Contribute to and present at planning discussions, including the quarterly roadmap review, yearly Product Planning, and backlog refinement.
- Facilitate internal team and customer meetings.
- Over time, take ownership of the backlog and roadmap for a product area, making prioritization and tradeoff decisions with engineering.
