- Support the wider team as a product expert and evangelist, bringing high levels of empathy and a deep understanding of customers.
- Provide strategic oversight of product work, in a coaching capacity - knowing when to act as a sounding board or when to be a problem solver.
- Represent and share cohesive product visions, strategies, and goal orientated-outcomes with teams, and coach others to do the same.

You have experienced success with setting product vision and strategy and bringing amazing products to market. You are passionate about setting clear goals and outcomes, and communicating clearly with conviction to your team, your customers, and peers across Dovetail. You take pride in mapping a companies strategy directly to what your product teams are working on, and can clearly connect their results back to that strategy. You’re motivated to understand the problems end-users face and the importance of strategic goals, while not being afraid of getting involved in technical discussions when need.
- Ability to paint a compelling product vision to inspire your teams and the business.
- Adopt a growth mindset that seeks to improve our product management practices and hygiene amongst the teams and the engagements you are responsible for.

- Good instincts combined with deep product thinking that helps inform your desired outcomes.
- A track record of building trusted relationships, passionate storytelling, and an ability to influence without authority at all levels of an organisation.
- A love of coaching and guiding other Product Managers, both one to one and as a part of a cohesive outcome-orientated team.

- Thrive in fast-paced, often ambiguous environments
**We value your experience**
We look beyond how many years you've spent in a role and your educational background. Of course, the number of qualifications and certifications you've obtained is a testament to your hunger to learn. But, we like to think there's a lot more to your experience than this.
When it comes to a Product Manager, we like to know:

- What product outcomes you have led, and why and for whom they were valuable.
- What initiatives you have owned and the results (whether good or bad).
- How you think and how you best learn.
- How you tell your story and how you motivate/inspire others.
