About Projected

Our mission is to help founders plan better, in the hope that their companies last longer and become successful.

We believe that we are in one of the most exciting times to be an entrepreneur and that by helping more businesses succeed we are playing a part in unlocking the potential that entrepreneurship brings.

Our core business is to provide beautiful, simple forecasting tools to founders, start-ups and scaleups that want to make better decisions.

We are a fully remote team working locally and globally and whilst we are at the start of our own journey, we’re backed by some incredible investors and have big ambitions.

Our people are thoughtful, curious and intentional in everything they do. We understand that work means nothing without the time to play and to enjoy the time with those we love. We all care deeply about our shared mission; we expect you to, as well.

Our Values
● Simple
● Flexible
● Grounded

About This Role

We are looking to add a Product Manager to our team.

In this role, you will be working closely with the founder to understand our objectives, customers to understand their needs and, to own, define and articulate what success looks like for Projected.

Working closely with the CTO, engineering team and our designer, you will help us turn that vision into reality.

You will be actively involved in all team efforts and gatherings, ensuring everyone that needs to be, is updated with your progress and knows what support you need or can provide.

You ask for assistance and understand the dependencies across the team.

We value

● Not only working software, but also well-crafted software
● Not only responding to change, but also steadily adding value
● Not only individuals and interactions, but also a community of professionals
● Not only customer collaboration, but also productive partnerships

That is, in pursuit of the items on the left we have found the items on the right to be indispensable.

Your day-to-day activities may include:

● Decide and lead the product direction
● Put together a product roadmap and ensure the day-to-day management and delivery of features and functionality
● Carry out user research, competitor analysis, analyse user flows to determine the optimal efforts needed in order to grow the product
● Input into the design of new screens and functionality to meet the growing needs of the Platform
● Provide UX and UI feedback to the development team to help build a great product
● Help manage regular team meetings, including standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives
● Help out with quality assurance and testing
● Be responsible for the effective communication of releases across the business and wider customer base

Working environment

We are a remote-first team, mostly based in the UK, and whilst this role will mainly be in typical business working hours with the option/need for time outside these hours we are open to flexible working arrangements and know that a strict 9-5 doesn’t work for everyone.

We understand the importance of in-person contact and have at least 2 company gatherings a year.

We are a curious bunch and want to continue learning. We want you to develop in your role and support you to increase your abilities and impact.
