The role
You are Patterno's first product manager. You work side by side with the founders and help decide what we build, for whom, and why. Your decisions shape the product from your first week.
Public procurement still runs on fragmented portals and PDFs nobody reads in time. We are live with customers, we talk to them constantly, and every conversation shows us where the product needs to go. You make sure we learn faster than anyone else in this market and turn that into the product our customers use to win public contracts.
You will learn product by owning real decisions, seeing what they do in real usage, and working next to the founders who have shaped this product from day one. Along the way, you see up close what it takes to build a company around a great product.
What success looks like in your first 90 days
- You are the team's go-to person for what our customers need.
- The roadmap is yours, and every item on it traces back to what customers told us.
- Your first experiments are live, and at least one idea died on data before anyone wrote a line of code.
- We run twice as many customer conversations, and nothing we learn gets lost.
- Product day-to-day runs through you, so the founders can focus on scaling the company.
What you'll do
- Talk to customers every week and run your own product sessions. Dig into how bid teams actually work, from the first tender alert to the final submission.
- Turn insights into bets: form hypotheses, design experiments, define what success looks like, and let the data decide.
- Own the roadmap and defend it with evidence.
- Work side by side with engineering: shape the solution, write the specs, and get it shipped.
- After release, watch what customers actually do, talk to them again, and decide what to double down on.
- Build the system that captures every customer signal, from interviews to sales calls to support requests.
