If you’re passionate about technology and new ideas, maybe being a Product Manager is for you!
At its core, this job involves orchestrating the development of innovative technology by looking at the “big picture”.
As a product manager, you’ll identify consumer needs, develop the vision for a product, liaise with stakeholders, sift through and prioritize different features/capabilities and make sure entire teams are unified in their understanding to empower independent decision making.
Once the product is created, you’ll also conceptualise how it will be marketed across different audiences, making sure ideas are understood by everyone.
If you’re a creative thinker, strategist and communicator, you could use these skills as a Product Manager to help balance the perspectives of consumers, businesses and developers to create the best products possible.
