coconutfairy commented 5 years ago

AS Blinkist recruitment team I WANT TO hire a product manager who understands business and customer needs AND has experience with agile methodologies AND is a team player who empathically supports their colleagues SO THAT together, we enable Blinkist customers to manage their own learning more effectively.

Issue: The new, cross-functional team concerned with the learning management experience of our customers needs a product manager. The successful candidate should be a team-player who can work with different types of stakeholders and adapt their communication accordingly. They should ask good questions and define and apply methodologies to answer them. This way they will come to understand our customers and their problems better than anyone else. Thereby, they can align customer and business needs for shipping the best product and iterating based on the data.

Proposed solution: Juli, a competent and value-driven product manager satisfying the aforementioned criteria. She is passionate about self-improvement and personal development and ready to take on the next professional challenge at Blinkist.

Business value: This product manager possesses a set of skills that will propel Blinkist to the next level. She has a track record of successfully shipping customer facing products in an agile high performance environment. Juli excels in user research, particularly interviewing, while also being proficient in competitive research, designing A/B tests and interpreting quantitative data to guide decision making. See CV for details.

Behaviour: Blinkist distributed authority among all colleagues, championing self-empowerment and mutual support. Therefore, Juli is a great fit. She is known to be a very empathetic and diplomatic communicator with a knack for motivating and empowering her team to do their best.

Risk and mitigation: So far, Juli has worked on a web product in alignment with the app team, but not on the app itself. However, she is a quick thinker who adapts rapidly and will ask questions until she gets to the root of a matter. Therefore, she will be able to fulfil this task swiftly.

Design: See attached mockup in the "comments" section below.

Estimation: Available for a chat anytime. Starting date negotiable.

Acceptance criteria: Attached CV has been read. Possible questions sent to Juli. Invited Juli for a first chat.
