About the Team

Our product development team includes a product manager, a product designer, a software development manager, and a team of eight skilled developers. We work closely alongside all product teams, growth, marketing, finance and customer success to deliver exceptional results. We take a bottoms up approach at Vidyard, so we are looking for a PM who can develop and lead a product strategy from conception through to execution. We are also a customer centric company, so knowing how to build user-friendly and scalable customer experiences is key. We're passionate about delivering exceptional results and are always striving to improve!

  • Fostering closer relationships with Vidyard's users and leverage feedback to help prioritize roadmap decisions. You'll balance feedback from users with the business needs and make trade off decisions where necessary.
  • Own cross-organization business outcomes by assessing results and defining next steps. You will make decisions that take into account team and company level trade-offs. You will clearly articulate to your peers and executive leadership why your current work is important to the company's vision and goals.
  • Build buy-in and support for your projects from senior managers both within and outside the product organization while mentoring more junior team members on how to do the same. You will work with your manager to put together a concrete and actionable career development roadmap.
