Product Manager
Product managers carry the judgment for what to build. Execution is cheap now, so the scarce thing is knowing what is worth building, for whom, and why now. At Systeric that judgment is not advisory: you embed at the operator level inside a client, own the outcome, and grow into the fractional CTO who holds the whole picture. A small, senior function run like BCG or McKinsey, but as an engineering partner: a handful of operators across many companies.
What you’ll do
- Embed at the operator level inside a client: own the outcome, not a deck, and grow into the fractional CTO they lean on.
- Find the problems worth solving: read the data, the tickets, the users, and frame the real problem, not the request.
- Run Discover and Define: sharpen the problem, decide what to build and what to cut, and get the team aligned.
- Own a surface end to end: the call, the release plan, the metric, shipped and measured.
- Keep everyone in sync: the weekly update that gives clients and leadership full visibility in two minutes.
- Say no with a reason, and protect the roadmap from scope creep.
What we look for
- Product sense. Taste for what is worth building, and the conviction to cut the rest.
- User insight. Getting past what users ask for to the real problem they have.
- Strategy and prioritization. Choosing what to do and what not to, in what order, and why now.
- Delivery. Driving the work to shipped and measured, mostly by directing engineers and AI.
- Data and impact. Choosing the metric that actually matters, then proving it moved.
The ladder
One lean, senior track, all the way to CTO. No management chain: near the top you embed as a client’s fractional CTO, not a manager of managers. Pick a level to see what it expects.
How we hire
One short take-home, then one conversation. We move fast and tell you either way.
- Apply. Send a CV and links to things you have built, anything real.
- A short take-home. A small, real problem. Use any tools, including AI. We care how you think, not a perfect answer.
- One conversation. Forty-five to sixty minutes walking your solution together, pushing on it.
