Truss is seeking a Product Manager to join our team.
Product Managers at Truss offer support to both our technical teams and our client stakeholders by developing and maintaining the product roadmap, establishing and monitoring KPIs and metrics, facilitating weekly backlog grooming and sprint planning, and continuously facilitating appropriate prioritization of the team’s work to meet milestones and deliver. They are also a key client liaison, leveraging proactive communication, empathy, patience, and a shoulder-to-shoulder approach to product development and management.
This person will join a small, technical team and be expected to manage clients and gain alignment quickly. A successful applicant will be comfortable collaborating with stakeholders to synthesize and parlay input and feedback into actionable decisions, but just as comfortable pushing back when project health is at stake.
This PM will be responsible for bridging technical complexity with user needs, ensuring seamless integration between client and stakeholder needs and other application teams while maintaining focus on user experience and business outcomes.
This is a fully remote position. Periodic travel (at least once a quarter) is required.
