**WHAT YOU 'LL DO:**
Tens of thousands of customers rely on Retool to run their businesses, and our
Product team helps shape the vision, create the roadmap, and build the
products that make our customers successful.
Your days will include collaborating with design and engineering counterparts
to build the right thing at the right time, working closely with go-to-market
teams to get our products into the hands of our customers, and working with
company leadership to communicate the direction and vision for your product
area to the rest of the organization. At Retool, Product Managers are highly
flexible, technically-minded, and known for their readiness to pivot or tailor
their efforts when necessary to deliver great products to our customers.
As PM for the Core Data team, you’ll help drive Retool’s overall strategy for
how users connect to and interact with their data—from choosing which
integrations we invest in, to launching out-of-the-box data storage services,
to bringing the ease of visual development into the realm of querying and
manipulating data. Every customer of Retool is a customer of the Core Data
team—Retool’s low-code products rely on building interfaces and automations
that can read and write to a customers’ connected data sources. Further,
Retool is one of the only platforms that a customer will connect to all of
their most critical data sources; the quality and depth of Retool’s
integrations are crucial for Retool’s success.
You’ll help the team build strategic frameworks to decide which integrations
to invest in more heavily. You’ll lead Retool’s many built-in resources like
Retool Database and Storage—complete products in their own rights—and set
their roadmaps to help our customers build sophisticated apps more easily.
For example, today we’re thinking about:
* What types of resources should we prioritize building integrations for? How do we align our integration strategy to our broader product strategy?
* Should we make our integration platform extensible? Should we work with partners to drive more and higher-quality integrations?
* How can we make it easier for developers to work with data in a more abstract way? Should we build a unified ontology that can span across multiple different data sources? **WHO YOU 'll WORK WITH:**
You’ll be working with almost all Retools but will most often be partnering
with engineers, designers, data scientists, and go-to-market teams to deliver
products to our customers.
**IN THIS ROLE, YOU 'LL:**
* Set the direction of Retool’s product
* Understand our customers by talking with them, a lot, interacting with go-to-market teams, and digging into product data; and communicate what you find to the rest of the organization
* Collaborate with go-to-market to launch new features and products to our customers
* Identify new opportunities and product areas for Retool to pursue
* Measure, analyze and report to the organization on the success of our products
* Help build the organizational foundations for a high-performing and growing Product team at Retool
**THE SKILLSET YOU 'll BRING:**
* You have 4+ years of product management experience at a fast-growing technology company
* You’ve shipped large-scope projects end-to-end
* You know how you work best with engineering and design counterparts
* You’ve worked closely with go-to-market teams to arm them to sell and to gather product feedback
* You’ve worked closely and directly with customers, and have a knack for turning customer problems into the right product solutions
* You have a strong ownership mindset to do whatever is needed to deliver the best product to our customers
* You nurture a deep curiosity and knowledge of your customers and products
* You think not just in terms of features but platforms and systems. You thrive thinking about how the interplay of different capabilities can open up more powerful and interesting possibilities.
* You have significant experience with Databases and APIs. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you need to speak the language of caching layers, OAuth, and schemas.
