Our client, whose disruptive approach to financial data transformed the way Wall Street works, seeks a Product Manager with top-notch mobile experience who can change the world of tablet and smartphone applications in an equally transformative way.
Gun Profile:
You should already have several major roll-outs of mobile products for media or B2B products under your belt — and be ready with ideas for many more. The Agile workflow used here means that the highly innovative and creative have an edge over cautious temperature-takers — every time. Finally, those with a background in real-time financial news and information will have a major advantage — and so will those who can adapt to new technology on the fly. We’re looking for a Product Manager who knows what’s next in mobile technology, yes, but who also has a gameplan ready for dealing with the future evolution of current designs and methods.
Nitty Gritty:
Mobile is becoming a bigger and bigger part of the way this media company’s financial clients obtain the news, data, and analytics they need to do their job. In this role, mobile strategy begins, is executed by, and ends with you, from business requirements and roadmaps, planning product specs, prioritization, and risk management through execution and on-going support and updates.
As the Product Manager devoted to all things mobile, you will be responsible for further extending this company’s presence from the desktop to on-the-go platforms, including BlackBerry, iOS, Android, and whatever else comes down the pike.
Inside Skinny:
The company’s core products will be getting a major overhaul in 2012, and that means you’ll get major bragging rights for applying the same creative methods to the mobile apps.
Net-Net:
Product managers with a hunger for doing amazingly cool work (with a budget to get that amazingly cool work done) and a hardcore entrepreneurial streak should definitely let us know how they can help keep this financial titan stay strong and nimble.
