Platform Product Manager

India

Full Time

At Atlan, one of our core values is putting the problem first and solution second. That’s why our folks in the Business Team come to work every morning with the intent of helping as many people as they can. Even if this means telling them that we’re not the right fit for them.

As part of our Business Team, you’ll be our eyes and ears on the ground—working to understand our users’ biggest challenges and wins—so we can integrate this information into our vision for our products. Every line of code we write and every pixel we create will be shaped by what you see and hear on a daily basis.

Let’s lead from the front and show the world how it’s done.

What will you do? 🤔

  • Scope of impact:
  • You will help produce platform features which will have the ability to support multiple user requirements at the same time. Your impact is to showcase the multiplier effect of platform product management.
  • You will work with multiple teams and your inputs will drive shaping the platform and in turn product to a large extent. Your communication will help keep the focus on building the right foundation.
  • You will stand at the vanguard of the product teams, so that product teams can build without worrying about the second-order effects of product features. Your effort will boost quality and user focus for all downstream teams.

  • Problem space:
  • You will be responsible to identify, articulate, and prioritise problems. This needs to be backed by solid research and the capability to zoom to different levels at the same time - “Define the problem with broad focus while zooming in to details so that we can provide the right solution”.
  • You will be solely responsible to lead cross-functional conversations with multiple stakeholders (Sales, Product, Partners, Strategy, Engineering, Customer Success, Customer Happiness etc.) to bring necessary clarity to define the problem statement and keep the communications flowing until we deliver the solution.
  • Any issues induced by the platform team have a disproportionate impact on the product and in turn our customers. This is further complicated by the fact that you will be working with multiple teams for each and every feature. Execution will be your first focus for each day.

  • Solution space:
  • You will own the platform product roadmap or part of it, driving features based on growth objectives, adoption strategies, partnership requirements, engineering excellence, product team blockers and more. Drive company-wide alignment for each quarter and get all stakeholders on the same page with a focus on delivering value earlier than everybody else.
  • Capability to take an obscure problem statement and turn it into a detailed solution document ready for the engineering team's consumption. This requires deep research, multi-dimensional thinking and innovative solution capability.
  • Use your obsession with quality and attention to detail to showcase “flawless execution”. Deliver features continuously to meet the commitments made as part of the roadmap. Communicate consistently so that platform features can be evangelised to Product, Engineering, Sales and above all Customers.

  • Documentation: 
  • Atlan has a “document first” culture and as such expects everyone to document all their work so that we can align better and faster. As a platform product manager, you will be required to author a lot of documents to describe Customer pain points, solutions, initiatives and anything in between.

What makes you a match for us ? 😍

  • You thrive in ambiguity and complexity while using your ability to simplify the solution with the first principle of thinking.
  • You have the capability to deal with abstract feedback and inputs.
  • You are obsessed with the customer experience and passionate about delivering features that will keep improving the customer experience.
  • An in-depth understanding of the business landscape that we are part of and its nuances. An experience working in a similar domain will be necessary for you to make informed and actionable recommendations.
  • A deep understanding of the product landscape and a background in technology and data to have a nuanced understanding of customers and user problems.
  • You take full ownership and accountability of your work. You love deep work and produce high-quality outcomes consistently while simultaneously capable of getting into the thick of the problems and finding the solutions being faced by the engineering teams.
  • Excellent articulation, communication and documentation capabilities. The ability to advocate your recommendations and get buy-in from the wider audience is key for you to be able to deliver a disproportionate impact.
  • You do not wait for instructions and guidelines and believe in taking end-to-end ownership of things.
  • Straightforward with the ability to stand for your views and opinions while capable of accepting criticism in the right spirit and evolving based on facts.
  • Bonus
  • You have worked in cross-functional roles with technical foundations.
  • You’re a product thinker.
  • You’re a thought leader in the data domain.
