What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager position at Latchable?
Renting a home is the world's oldest subscription service. People spend thousands of dollars every month for an experience that is outdated, inconvenient, analog, impersonal, and leaves a lot to be desired. Latch is working to make every building better, and while we've methodically executed this mission since our founding with great success, we're just getting started.
Leveraging our knowledge from companies like Apple, BCG, and IDEO, we’ve rethought how people interact with space. Latch delivers a full-building operating system designed to help owners, residents, and third parties like guests, couriers, and service providers, seamlessly experience the modern building. We’ve done this by combining software, devices, and services into a holistic platform that makes spaces more efficient, enjoyable, and profitable.
The next chapter of the Latch story will be our most exciting yet, and we’re looking for more talented team members to help fuel our growth.
Latch is looking for a highly autonomous Senior Product Manager with a bias for action, who can help catalyze product development and manage Latch’s suite of hardware products as the company furthers its mission to build an access platform that helps people open, manage, and share the spaces they care about.
This is a high profile role; reporting to the department head, working directly with our VP of product; and overseeing multiple engineering and development teams in order to manage software initiatives.
You will be responsible for delivering the magical experiences that stray between HW and SW by; meeting with our customers and partners to understand their needs, carrying out research to help define problems, facilitating a cross-functional process to solve these problems, driving consensus by owning documentation and requirements; and working with Engineering, Operations, Program, and Marketing to deliver them on-time and to Latch’s standard of quality.
Smart access isn’t about locking doors, it’s about opening up new possibilities. Latch is the world’s first fully integrated hardware and software system dedicated to bringing seamless access to every door in a modern building. We’re looking for the curious and the creative to join our team and help us continue to change the way we access our most valued spaces.
