Product Manager (Tech)

Your morning begins with a discovery sprint — interviewing five B2B customers about pain points in your SaaS dashboard's reporting module to define the scope of a new data export feature. Afternoons are spent writing a detailed PRD in Confluence, prioritising the backlog in Jira after a stakeholder review, facilitating a sprint planning ceremony with the engineering team, and reviewing analytics on user activation rates to identify drop-off points in the onboarding flow.
