What You'll Bring
-
Technical & Software Development Background:
-
Prior hands-on experience in software development or engineering (even brief/past experience, software projects, or coding background) is strongly preferred.
-
A clear, practical understanding of software development at scale, enterprise compliance, artifact repositories, and security controls within the SDLC.
-
Ownership & Drive: A proven track record of taking end-to-end ownership, navigating organizational roadblocks, and making a tangible impact.
-
Industry Context: Background and familiarity in Enterprise Software, SaaS, or highly regulated environments (e.g., Banking/Finance) is a strong plus, combined with an agile, flexible growth mindset.
-
Stakeholder Management: Experience working directly with Engineering Directors, Product Designers, and engineering teams.
-
Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field is highly desirable.
What Makes You A Strong Fit
-
Former software developer who transitioned into Product Management, OR a PM with deep technical fluency who understands developer pain points, repositories, and SDLC security controls.
-
Corporate/Enterprise background (e.g., Banking/SaaS) to understand compliance and scale, but with a flexible, high-agency startup attitude (avoid rigid "corporate" mentalities).
