Axiom Zen is a best practices-driven team (committed to continuous deployment, continuous integration, automated testing, etc), looking for talented and startup-minded product leaders to join our growing team — in Vancouver, BC; San Francisco, CA; or Santiago, Chile.
At Axiom Zen, we look for interesting opportunities then help build companies to address those opportunities. Mostly this involves building software-driven products or businesses from scratch to early levels of product-market fit. Product Managers at Axiom Zen will be tasked with carrying projects from inception to MVP, market validation, and the subsequent growth stage. You will be working closely with an expert team of designers, software engineers, and strategy folks but will be given enough freedom to make your own mistakes – and breakthroughs.
To succeed in this role, you should have a deep technology background as well as a native understanding of important business factors determining the impact of web- or mobile-driven products. You may have built your own startups or businesses in the past, bonus points for both success and failure!
Fundamentally, this role is a barrel – quoting from Keith Rabois: “If you think about people, there are two categories of high-quality people: there is the ammunition, and then there are the barrels. You can add all the ammunition you want, but if you have only five barrels in your company, you can literally do only five things simultaneously […] someone who can take an idea from conception to live and it’s almost perfect […] This kind of person can pull people with them. They can charge up the hill. They can motivate their team, and they can edit themselves autonomously.”
If that sounds like you: Apply!
