Senior Product Managers at Klaviyo have mastered the craft of Product Management. They are highly-skilled practitioners, who have been directly responsible for driving significant business outcomes. At Klaviyo, you’ll work in the kind of high-growth environment that offers unlimited potential. The potential to be a driving force that achieves even greater business outcomes, and the potential to coach and mentor the next generation of Product Managers. Klaviyo’s fast growth will ensure that opportunities abound.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our rapidly growing team and own our Machine Learning and Data Science Platform roadmap. Your mission is to empower Data Scientists at Klaviyo to manage and clean data, curate data science, machine learning, and AI-powered features, build models, and generally do great things to keep Klaviyo at the cutting edge of database and marketing technology. You will work cross-functionally with other product managers, designers, data scientists, and engineers to guide product development from concept to launch.

How You’ll Make a Difference:

• The ultimate measure of success for Senior Product Managers at Klaviyo is driving business outcomes. That’s why we focus on tracking, analyzing, and improving metrics for each area of our product, with a particular focus on driving the results we target. 
• We cannot build products that exceed our customer’s expectations without truly understanding those customers. That’s why Senior Product Managers at Klaviyo spend a significant amount of time interacting with our internal stakeholders. At Klaviyo, knowledge about your customers is power.
• Senior Product Managers at Klaviyo think deeply, quickly, and analytically. The rigor of thought is extreme here so we can ensure we’re making the best decision possible at all times. You should love to tease out problems, break them down to small, digestible pieces, and put them back together elegantly.
• Someone who joins Klaviyo must be exceptional at articulating their thinking through the written word. As a company, our success is gated on collectively being great and prolific communicators.
• Senior Product Managers are expected to be leaders on the team, identifying ways to accelerate or level up the rest of the product team and finding ways to push them forward, as well as being a go-to resource for other product managers.

What You’ll Do:

• Collaborate and communicate - you will collaborate with all teams within the company and all parties outside of the company to be most effective in your role.
• Manage a roadmap - you will prioritize all potential projects for our product area, and focus on those with the largest impact.
• Write great specs - you will define every use case a customer would consider, document potential ways to solve, identify outstanding concerns, flag edge cases, and leave no stone unturned. They sweat the details and are passionate about making sure that every experience is understood, anticipated, and handled elegantly.
• Ship features - you will get value into customer hands. For all of the work that goes into planning and coordination, we stay focused on delivering improved solutions and experiences every day.
• Mentor - you will share the benefits of your experience and knowledge with product managers on the team, helping to mentor and coach them to better outcomes.
• Learn - you will be a voracious learner. A lack of experience/knowledge around a challenge is an invitation to dive deep and become an expert in that area. You should love learning and tackling new challenges.
