- Assist with release readiness activities, including documentation, enablement materials, and internal communications.
Cross-Functional Support:
- Act as a connective layer between Product, Engineering, Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success.
- Gather and synthesize input from technical teams and customer-facing groups into clear product insights.
- Help ensure product decisions and priorities are well understood across stakeholders.
Product Learning & Growth:
- Develop a deep understanding of Ocient’s platform, architecture, and customer use cases.
- Participate in customer discussions, technical reviews, and internal product forums.
- Gradually take ownership of defined product areas, features, or initiatives as skills and experience grow.
Ideal Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, systems engineering, or technical sales/solutions engineering.
- Strong technical aptitude with the ability to understand complex systems and communicate them clearly.
- Demonstrated ability to organize work, manage details, and follow through in a fast-moving environment.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Self-motivated, curious, and eager to learn product management best practices.
- Interest in building a long-term career in product management.
An Exceptional Candidate Will Have:
- Someone who is technically strong but wants broader ownership and impact.
- A clear communicator who can translate between engineering and business perspectives.
- A proactive problem-solver who sees gaps and helps close them without being asked.
- An individual excited by complexity, scale, and learning how great products are built.
