Axiom Zen is a collective of entrepreneurs, engineers, and designers who work on high-impact, cutting-edge technology and startups. With low hierarchy and an open, supportive environment, we provide enough freedom to make your own mistakes – and breakthroughs.
We are looking for an organized, meticulous, and exceptionally talented Design-Focused Product Manager to join us in our headquarters in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. We work closely with our office in San Francisco and are committed to having an impact beyond Canada and Silicon Valley.
We are seeking an exceptional candidate with an insatiable appetite for cutting-edge technology, an obsession with modern design, and a laser focus that has generated consistent exceptional results. At Axiom Zen you may either be working with small teams on experimental, prototype-like projects, or on one of our larger teams on longer duration, high-impact products; plus, you will work with emerging platforms (all the more exciting!).
Our team has worked previously with industry titans and fast-growing startups alike: Apple, Google, Facebook, Baidu, Hootsuite, EA, and Microsoft, among others. We have team members from Silicon Valley, France, Brazil, China, Malaysia, the Netherlands, and both coasts of the US and Canada, and more. Join us!
Things we’re looking for:
Expertise in design and UX, especially modern, interaction-heavy web and mobile applications
Ability to prioritize features and balance competing stakeholders.
Self-motivated and willing to learn new concepts, technologies and processes
Exceptional organization, planning, and communication skills
Relentlessly positive attitude and unshakeable team spirit
Deep passion for project management, collaboration, efficiency, and tracking
A love for building user-centric products that set new standards in usability
Track record of success, especially in a fast-paced, technical environment
Self-motivated and willing to learn new concepts, technologies and processes
Native command of metrics, analytics, and data-informed decision-making
What you will be doing
See potential opportunities and aggressively pursue them, first by on-the-ground hustling (talking to customers/users), then by high volume, low-fidelity wire-framing of potential products to address those needs, and finally by working with a full team to take the products into production.
Bonus Points:
Design and UX experience or expertise with modern, interaction-heavy web and mobile applications
Experience developing work scope estimates and interfacing with clients or senior management
BS or higher in design, engineering or related field. Recent grads may apply as well
Product experience at a Tier-1 startup or technology company. Responsibilities and compensation will be adjusted to match skill-set and contribution
Experience founding a startup, regardless of whether or not it was “successful” in the traditional sense. We are not afraid of failing hard for the right reasons.
