Junior Product Manager 

 

For Digital Hub Warsaw, we are looking for:

 

Associate Product Manager – Talent Impact

Product Managers in the Talent Impact unit ensure that HR products are fulfilling their primary purpose to enable users to perform tasks that benefit them and create value for the company. Product managers have two broad areas of responsibility:

Setting strategic vision for the product to ensure the customer and their needs are at the center; and ensuring team priorities are supporting business outcomes for customer, product, technical and enabling teams. This requires continual alignment of the product strategy and objectives with customer, product, technical, and enabling teams

Managing the product backlog, which prioritizes the work of the assigned squads, to achieve the vision and aligned strategy.

To successfully manage these areas of responsibility, product managers must have a deep understanding of the product domain, related technology, and architecture, as well as an ongoing dialogue and trustful partnership with their stakeholders.

 

Associate Product Managers are entry level product managers. They manage digital products focused in a single area of Talent Impact.

 

Key Tasks & Responsibilities:

Product Management

The product manager is accountable for the overall success of one (or more) Talent Impact product throughout its lifecycle, from conception to decommissioning. They identify domain needs, develop, and validate product concepts, and build a business case. They oversee the product's build and launch, including any sourced services; as well as ensure product availability, stability, and compliance needs are met. Product managers collaborate with various teams, including product development, marketing, finance, legal, manufacturing, operations, and sales, as needed, to ensure cohesive progress and success.

Product Managers drive agile best practices with the team to improve delivery, including continuous planning ahead of each development cycle (e.g. sprint planning) and working together to co-create user stories aligned with the product backlog prioritization. In addition to guiding the team, product managers have duties like market opportunity identification, competitive analysis, and monitoring domain performance.

Stakeholder Engagement

It is vital for the product manager to identify and partner successfully with their key stakeholder group (HR Talent Impact). Though many strong and loud opinions will be expressed, an effective product manager uses discretion to deliver their product in a way that meets the needs of users and stakeholders who will ensure value is realized for Bayer. The relationship between the product manager and the stakeholders should be based on a trustful two-way dialogue where the stakeholders trust the product manager to not only understand their needs but will actively work to ensure their needs are met while delivering the product.

Product Maintenance and Support

The product manager must have or develop strong working and technical knowledge of their product(s) in order to gather business requirements and translate them into comprehensive functional and technical specifications. They facilitate application design and technical configuration, act as the Product Lead, and work with stakeholders on business demands, designs and solutions. Additionally, the product manager advises and manages external service providers (e.g. SAP/SuccessFactors) to ensure the best solutions are provided and aligned with Bayer frameworks and regulations.

Product Discovery & Delivery

The product manager is responsible for creating comprehensive product roadmaps, to clarify user needs and non-functional requirements. They provide product oversight by tracking and reporting progress against 90-day outcomes and overall product health (including budget responsibilities). They also plan and manage product delivery while streamlining the corresponding backlog. Product managers are responsible for monitoring user feedback and metrics to co-create solutions that drive a better user experience and deliver more business value. They leverage Design Thinking methodology starting with user needs to prioritize problems and through discovery they perform usability, feasibility, business fit and value testing to determine the optimal solution.

People & Collaboration

Product managers must proactively communicate and collaborate with product users and stakeholders, which requires strong strategic communication skills. Effective cross-functional collaboration is critical for product managers, bringing together diverse skills and knowledge to deliver a valuable product. It's important to maintain strong and productive working relationships with colleagues in product management, engineering, and other technically focused organizations. Product managers are also responsible for mentoring more junior product managers to improve product management and agile practices across the community.

 

Qualifications & Competencies (education, skills, experience):

 

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar or minimum 3 years equivalent practical experienceAbility to lead through influence initiatives that involve cross-functional teams from initiation to deliveryAbility to establish and manage initiatives against a set of key metrics and goalsStrong analytical, management and organizational skillsStrong verbal and written communication abilities: must effectively communicate with technical and non-technical peopleExperience in building product vision, product roadmap, and product strategyExperience in designing, developing, delivering or leading digital solutions
