  • Collaborate with Sales, Success, and Product teams to ensure seamless customer experiences and project success.
  • Translate frontline insights into scalable product features and work with R&D to shape the product roadmap.
  • Develop repeatable playbooks and deployment patterns to reduce implementation friction for future customers.
  • Contribute to and evolve the Forward Deployed Product Management function within Intercom.
  • Be willing to travel and work on-site with customers to build strong relationships and deepen understanding of their needs.

Qualifications

  • Experience : 4+ years as a product manager with a track record of shipping impactful products.
  • Leadership : Experience leading a team.
  • Customer centricity : Deep customer empathy with a bias for action and a track record of solving real problems with measurable results.
  • Communication : Ability to explain complex topics to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Product Marketing : Ability to articulate product value to internal stakeholders and external customers.
  • Navigating Ambiguity : Comfort in ambiguous, fast-changing environments with the ability to balance creative and analytical thinking.
  • Cross-functional collaboration : Skilled at aligning stakeholders across an organization to deliver outcomes for customers and Intercom.
  • Systems Thinking : Holistic view of how components, workflows, and stakeholders interact to fit into broader ecosystems.
  • Technical fluency : Ability to discuss APIs, SaaS infrastructure, LLMs, and low-code tooling with engineers and customers; comfortable onboarding customers to technical product setups.
  • Operational rigor : Highly organized and able to manage multiple deployments and priorities effectively.
  • Bonus skills & attributes

  • Experience in startups or B2B SaaS.
  • Experience working directly with enterprise customers on bespoke implementations.
