Job Description
Be a key contributor to an exciting software company!
CareerPlug provides innovative recruiting and HR software for over 30,000 growing companies. Our applicant tracking and paperless onboarding platforms help companies make better hires to have the right people in place to build a successful business.
We believe that people are the heart of our business and are committed to building one of the best places to work --anywhere. To us, that means putting care and purpose into our hiring process, providing meaningful development and training opportunities for our team members, and living our core values every day.
CareerPlug is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse team. Our leadership takes responsibility for creating a safe and welcoming environment built on inclusion and respect for all.
Who are we looking for?
We're looking for a Senior Growth Product Manager (SGPM) to join our Product & Engineering team! As a SGPM you will be responsible for ensuring the adoptability of our products. Unlike traditional PMM roles, where involvement starts post-development, you will be engaged from day one of designing through every stage of the product life cycle.
If product adoption declines you're expected to know why and we trust you to address the issue.
Key Responsibilities:
Delivering value that clients will try - by actively participating in shaping (designing) the solutions we will build and ensuring every feature is driving optimal outcomes. Help clients buy the right plan for them by making sure they know how to upgrade and why they should upgrade (plan expansion) and see how many trials are converting. Master client and partner relationships by participating in client interviews and truly understanding their jobs-to-be-done. Manage the Customer Advisory Board (CAB) and ensure the success of our early adopter program (Labs). Ensure that the front of the house is heard by excavating market insights and leading and executing major launches along with sales and marketing.
We work in a quad model that emphasizes equality and collaboration, with no single leader dictating direction (like in traditional product organizations where the PM might be in this role). Decisions on what to build and accountability for outcomes are shared among the four quad roles: Product Manager, Tech Lead, Product Designer, and Senior Growth Product Manager (YOU!).
In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional teams including sales and marketing to ensure the product is continuously delivering value that clients and partners love and works for the business.
If you've read this far, we're sure you realized that this is not a very common position. It blends the responsibilities of both product marketing and product management. Curious what this role will not be doing. Interested in learning more?
You should be passionate about helping customers achieve success with CareerPlug and transforming them into evangelists.
For extreme clarity, we want to highlight some differences between traditional Product Marketing and this Senior Growth Product Manager position. Traditional Product Marketing has some common expectations that we'll rely mostly on our marketing team to deliver:

Anti-Racism Commitment
"My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together."
-Desmond Tutu
We have a fierce commitment to at CareerPlug. It's what shapes our culture and community, and shows up in a resolve to be inclusive, and therefore, anti-racist.
We know that racism can be intentional or unintentional, but its existence is dehumanizing to everyone it touches. Our promise is to purposefully identify, discuss, and challenge issues of systemic racism and unconscious bias and the impacts they have on our company and our people. We've always fostered a culture of communicating openly, but we know we can continue to do better. We will challenge ourselves to understand and correct inequities and create a "best place to work" for every employee.
We choose to participate in this conversation and affirm our identity as an anti-racist company. We hope you will join us.
