Senior Product Manager

UpSlide is the number one productivity solution provider for financial services. Our software dramatically improves the functionality of PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Power BI and enables users at firms like Citi, KPMG, and BNP Paribas to focus on high-value tasks rather than formatting or copy-pasting. We're scaling up with 160+ employees across our offices in New York, London, Paris (HQ), Singapore, and Berlin.

Our values guide our approach to work and are at the heart of our recruitment process. To join our team, we look for individuals who value:

• Excellence: We think that every detail counts, and we place great importance on the quality of our deliverables.
• Trust: We are passionate, committed, and free to act with autonomy.
• Happiness at work: We enjoy looking on the bright side and we share our enthusiasm with our colleagues and clients.

Get ready to dive into our dynamic Product Team, led by our CPO and backed by a talented crew including 1 Head of Product, 3 Product Managers, 1 Technical Product Manager, 2 creative Product Designers, and 2 Product Marketing Managers. Each PM works with a squad (5 developers per squad). You will be taking over our Financial Advisory squad and working closely with Romain, the Tech Lead of this team.

This squad is strategic for UpSlide. It owns our users' must-loved and most-used features such as:

• Excel-PowerPoint link - recently improved with an Excel Link Manager to manage charts and tables updates for Financial Services Professionals
• PowerPoint formatting - recently improved with a dedicated toolbar

• Product discovery (40%)

Conduct qualitative and quantitative research to uncover user pain points, behaviors, and needs. Lead customer interviews, surveys, and usability tests to validate assumptions.

• Product strategy (20%)

Build and nurture your product vision based on data from users, your team, data analysis, competitors, market trends, and industry best practices. Turn that into a strategy and a well-thought roadmap to ensure we build the right features. Communicate the strategy to stakeholders and the team. Explore expanding Upslide AI capabilities within your scope.

• Product delivery (40%)

Work closely with product designers and developers to address user pain points and ensure we build the right feature. Turn the roadmap into a backlog of user stories, prioritize work, and explain rationale to stakeholders and the team. Ensure shipped products are bug-free and provide other teams with materials to understand and roll out features.
