About the role
Northwind Systems is hiring a product manager in Austin, TX. You will own a slice of the product with a small team, real customers and incomplete information. The job is deciding what not to build as much as what to build, and being able to explain both to the people affected.
The US market for this role is deep and well paid, and candidates rightly compare offers carefully. The band below is the real band — we do not hold a number back for whoever negotiates hardest.
What the work actually looks like
Expect customer conversations, writing that sharpens a fuzzy problem into a shippable one, and the metrics work that tells you whether the last thing helped. You will sit with engineering during build rather than reappearing at the demo. The team works a hybrid week out of Austin, TX, usually three days together and the rest wherever you work best.
What we look for
This is a senior individual-contributor role. You will be expected to push back on requirements that do not make sense and to set the technical direction for your part of the product. We are looking for prioritisation under pressure, metrics literacy and the willingness to kill your own idea when the evidence says so. A technical background helps, but clear writing helps more.
Working at Northwind Systems
Core hours are set by the team rather than by the company, and we are deliberate about protecting long stretches of focus time. The range shown is the annual gross salary band for this role.
Responsibilities
- Own the roadmap and the trade-offs behind it for your area
- Talk to customers regularly and bring what you learn back as written problems
- Define success metrics before a launch, not after it
- Work with engineering and design daily throughout the build
- Communicate decisions and their reasoning across the company
Requirements
- Experience owning a product area end to end
- Comfortable with data — you can pull your own numbers
- Excellent written communication, especially for hard trade-offs
- Able to decide with incomplete information and revisit later
- Genuine curiosity about the domain and its customers
Skills
Benefits
- Medical, dental and vision cover from your first day
- 401(k) with company match
- Equity in a company with real revenue
- Paid time off with a mandatory two-week minimum
