The Associate Product Manager – New Grad position is designed to grow undergraduates into product leaders. APMs at Clipboard Health move quickly, with high ownership and good judgment from day 1. Previous APMs have scaled operational processes, written new pricing algorithms from scratch, and built new products all on their own.
Our APMs are generalists who work closely with our executive team. Instead of coming in with a toolkit and looking for problems it can solve (which often leads to incremental problem solving), they focus on the biggest problems and quickly devise new ways to solve them from first principles.
Ownership is not given to APMs once we think they are able to lead projects. APMs are expected to lead important projects from the get-go. Their plans and the quality of their execution are met with the same level of scrutiny as that of a Group Product Manager’s.
In your first 30 days you’ll:
- Talk to customers, understand their problems, and surface issues we weren’t devoting enough attention to
- Ramp up on the business, the product, and how we work
- Design and run marketplace experiments to validate hypotheses
- Write weekly write-ups and other documentation to keep others abreast of your work
In your first 90 days you’ll:
- Own an important problem on your own
- Write a plan (you may have to write several drafts) that proposes a solution to the problem
- Broadcast the plan to relevant stakeholders, get their feedback, and adjust it
- Execute on the plan and report findings to the executive team
You can’t be successful here if you:
- Don’t enjoy writing. We write a lot, and we hold our writing to a high standard.
- Want to know what to do. In your role as an APM, you’ll regularly be given tasks that are seemingly ambiguous.
- Don’t like working with data or math. As a marketplace company, we have a highly quantitative culture.
- Don’t enjoy talking to customers. We talk to our customers day in and day out.
- Don’t want an intellectual challenge. The problems we face are novel and challenging.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation
- Unlimited vacation
- 100% remote with tri-annual offsites
Please Note: We are currently accepting applications only from candidates based in North America, South America or Europe. This role requires an overlap of 5 hours with the PST (UTC-8) timezone.
