Associate Product Manager

At Yext, the product team oversees the entire product development lifecycle. We work closely with customers and partners to understand their problems and invent solutions; we work with UI/UX design to create new product features; we work with engineering to build features and manage prioritization; and we work with sales and marketing to launch and promote new features. As an Associate Product Manager, you will assist with every aspect of this process. APMs will focus on and eventually own a single product area under the direction of a senior member of the product team.
