- Support Product Strategy: Collaborate with leadership to define the product roadmap, prioritizing initiatives that align with Extend’s mission to revolutionize the post-purchase experience.
- Own Feature Outcomes: Drive the end-to-end product lifecycle for specific features—from initial discovery and requirement gathering (PRDs) to launch and post-launch optimization.
- Collaborative Execution: Partner closely with Engineering, Design, and stakeholders to deliver persona-first, data-driven solutions while navigating technical trade-offs and business goals.
- Decide with Data: Leverage user research, product analytics and A/B testing to iterate on features and advocate for the best user outcomes.

- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, CS, Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience showing a strong grasp of product fundamentals.
- Core Competency: We need a PM who is an execution powerhouse. You should demonstrate the ability to take complex, ambiguous problems and break them down into clear, executable steps for engineering and design teams.
- Analytical Prowess: Strong proficiency in using data to tell a story. You are comfortable writing SQL or using analytics platforms to track KPIs and measure the success of your features.
- Communication: A clear and persuasive communicator who can explain the "why" behind product decisions and manage expectations across diverse stakeholder groups.
- Technical Literacy: A solid understanding of API integrations, cloud architecture, and modern software development lifecycles to ensure feasible and scalable product handoffs.
- Entrepreneurial Mindset: Thrives in a high-growth, fast-paced environment. You are a self-starter who is comfortable wearing multiple hats and taking extreme ownership of your domain.
