[Hiring] Senior Product Manager @Wellio

Role Description

Wellio is hiring a Senior Product Manager, based in Europe. Until now our founders have shared product leadership. You'll take over ownership of product vision, discovery and delivery across both our platform and our content.

We're a (mostly) bootstrapped company funded by real customers. We like working on real problems that schools couldn't solve on their own. We like to ship fast without letting quality slip.

This is a hands-on role. You'll set strategy and also do the work yourself:

• Shaping pitches
• Running betting tables
• Ensuring we ship quality work every cycle

We're inspired by product philosophies from 37signals, Linear and Airbnb, and we use Shape Up to guide our product development. We believe in small, senior teams that embrace constraints, focus on craft and deliver exceptional outcomes.

Some principles that guide us:

• Continuous discovery
• Small teams over big ones
• Embracing constraints
• Fixed appetites with flexible scopes
• Knowing our tools and cutting with the grain
• Treating product as a marketing job
• Obsessing over craft and sweating the details
• Avoiding long-term plans in favour of betting on what matters right now

Improving student wellbeing needs technology and content that work together seamlessly. Most edtech companies split this work, with platform teams in one place, content teams in another and design somewhere else. We think that leads to narrow solutions that miss the bigger picture. At Wellio, design and content report into product, because the best solutions combine all three.

Day to day, you'll:

• Discover: Spend real time with customers. Watch teachers use Wellio in classrooms, run discovery calls, and explore new markets like primary schools and Indonesia to learn what needs to change.
• Set the vision: Work out how schools will run on the first Wellbeing Management System. Distil best practice and show how our platform and content make it work at scale.
• Shape and bet: Write pitches that make the problem clear and bring customer pain to life, whether it's a new lesson type, a feature or a whole product line. Work with engineering, design and content so each pitch is a good deal for its appetite, deliverable and usable. Then run the betting tables that lock in the next eight weeks of work for platform and content.
• Ship: Keep projects within their appetite. You'll wield the scope hammer and stop work from dragging on forever. You'll also hold the quality line and refuse to ship mediocre work just because "we promised it" or "we spent time on it".
• Close the loop: After launch, use interviews, data and usage to check that what we built actually helps, then iterate.
• Tell the story: We see product partly as a marketing job. As the person closest to the product and the problem, you'll shape the messaging that sales and marketing use.

Qualifications

• Experience in product management and helped scale B2B SaaS products
• Ability to spot opportunities and problems early
• Excellent discovery skills
• Knowledge of content, design and engineering
• Focus on outcomes, not output
• Experience shipping with AI
• Based in Europe

Benefits

• Build something from the ground up
• Join at an exciting stage of growth
• Make an impact around the world
• Work alongside people who've scaled
• High standards, low ego, and a global team
