Job Description

This is a remote position.

At Cycle Labs, we’re on a mission to make complex enterprise testing simple, reliable, and intelligent. Our platform helps global organizations automate and validate mission-critical systems across the supply chain. We have several initiatives to build exciting new features, and now we need help to shape and deliver them.

As a Product Manager , you’ll play a pivotal role in that journey. Reporting to the Senior Director of Product Management, you’ll own key areas of the Cycle Testing Platform — shaping the roadmap, discovering customer problems, and guiding cross-functional teams to deliver meaningful solutions.

You’ll work closely with customers, engineers, designers, and testers to define what we build and why. From early research and prototyping to planning and release, you’ll help ensure that every feature we ship makes enterprise testing faster, smarter, and more reliable.

If your bookshelf has well-worn copies of Inspired by Marty Cagan, The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, or The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman — then this might be the role for you.

What You’ll Do

In Product Management, we say that we “put in the REPS!” Your job will be to contribute to the following activities for the products and features that you will own :

  • R esearch : learning the problems our customers and partners face.
  • Cultivating domain knowledge of enterprise platforms and the best practices for testing them.
  • Analyzing user analytics to understand what our users do and why.
  • Facilitating feedback from internal and external stakeholders.
  • Participating in a Customer Advisory Board to connect directly with customers and gain insights from them.
  • E xperiment : testing possible solutions to the problems discovered in Research.
  • Doing discovery with folks in other roles at Cycle Labs to figure out what solutions should look like.
  • Rapidly prototyping solutions for fast feedback to determine product directions.
  • Designing workflows and interfaces for the best user experience.
  • Providing early access to select customers / partners for potential new features.
  • P lan : specifying the work to be done to deliver intended solutions.
  • Contributing to the product vision, strategy, and roadmap.
  • Writing features and user stories collaboratively with engineers and testers.
  • Developing personas of Cycle Testing Platform users to inform feature work.
  • Understanding and prioritizing bugs as they appear.
  • S hip : releasing solutions to customers and partners.
  • Administer the release management process for software delivery.
  • Lead user acceptance testing for new releases and new features.
  • Edit user manual content to keep it up-to-date.
  • Contribute to other release materials such as videos and articles.
