Who you are:

We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results!

If you love technology, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!

What you'll do:

As a Product Manager your key area of responsibility will be building Geotab’s customer intelligence by identifying which ideas and opportunities should be promoted into features to support pushing the product strategy forward. You will need to work closely with cross functional teams (Design, Engineering, Marketing, Support and others) as well as senior members of the team and product leadership. To be successful in this role you will be a self starter, resourceful with strong analytical skills, acute perception, and the ability to problem-solve to well-judged decisions. In addition, the successful candidate will have a strategic mindset, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a strong understanding of user engagement metrics and product KPIs to drive data-informed decision-making.

How you'll make an impact:

  • The primary role is to truly understand the customer and its associated market.

  • Perform customer discovery interviews with prospective and existing customers and partners to identify product gaps and generate news ideas for continuous value add for existing customers, grow market share for new customers and to overall improve Geotab’s customer experience.

  • Leverage various research methodologies and customer inputs to identify common patterns, pain points, problems to be solved/jobs to be done and use this to identify relevant solution opportunities/product efforts.

  • Develop a product roadmap and align internal stakeholders to the developed roadmap strategy.

  • Work closely with senior members of the team and product leadership to provide input on the long term vision of the product.

  • Work with cross functional teams (Design, Engineering, Marketing, Support and others) to build and execute the product development and go to market strategy for key roadmap deliverables.

  • Prioritize building what matters most by balancing short term sales targets with long term strategic investments for the business.

  • Collaboratively define and drive reporting and monitoring mechanisms against set product outcomes and use them as a tool to measure continued success of product efforts (both qualitative and quantitative).

  • Collaborate with other product managers on designing and executing market feedback loops and incorporate into product planning: Sales (participate in win-loss interviews and analysis; identify hard sales blockers and soft sales objections) and Retention and Referral (feedback/satisfaction/effectiveness interviews and analysis).

  • Clearly communicate the Why for every product effort and educate other stakeholders on the problems to be solved, business objectives, etc. Leverage this in collaboration with UX designers, developers, data scientists and other stakeholders to do problem and solution validation, translate customer needs into user stories/feature epics/work to be done, and prioritize epics relative to technical debt and other company product investments.

  • Help improve the Product Management practice at Geotab.

  • Self starter, resourceful with strong analytical skills with the ability to problem-solve to well-judged decisions.

What you'll bring to the role:

  • 3 - 5 years of required previous experience in product management and/or customer discovery or a related field (experience in a SaaS environment is highly valued).

  • Bachelors in a related field or Post-secondary Diploma/Degree (Engineering, Business, Computer Science highly valued), or equivalent combination of education and work experience.

  • Excellent written, verbal, and listening skills with strong empathy and presentation ability (in person and virtually).

  • Demonstrated experience with user engagement metrics, product KPIs, data-informed decision-making, and Agile planning methods/practices.

  • Strategic mindset with solid negotiation, conflict resolution, relationship management skills, and ability to adapt to growing technology and market demands.

  • Self-starter, resourceful, and strong analytical skills with an ability to stitch together disparate insights to uncover common patterns.

  • Strong organizational skills to manage products through discovery to launch, alongside an entrepreneurial mindset comfortable in a flat organization.

Geotab’s Voluntary Self-Identification Survey

Geotab is committed to fair and equitable treatment for all, and fostering a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion throughout the hiring process and beyond. At Geotab, our unique company culture is built upon the value of “always do the right thing” which is embraced by employees around the world. As a global organization, we continuously seek ways in which we can support both our staff and our communities through programs and partnerships focused on empowering diversity and prioritizing inclusion. 

We invite you to complete this optional survey to help us evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. Submission of the information on this form is strictly voluntary. Opting not to participate will not impact your job application in any way. Information obtained will not be associated with your name or job application in any identifiable manner. This information will be kept secure and confidential and will be used solely to evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. The information collected in this survey is only available to HR staff and Geotab data scientists to view in aggregated data format and not on an individual basis. Your answer will be maintained confidential and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making hiring decisions.

Note to USA Applicants: This is a separate survey from the EEO-1 Voluntary Self Identification Form used in the United States for compliance purposes. We feel that the options found in the mandated survey do not encompass the rich diversity of our applicants, and as such strive to provide additional responses that reflect the landscape more accurately.
