Associate Product Manager, Knowledge Graph

At Yext, the product team leads all aspects of the entire product development lifecycle. We work closely with customers and partners to understand their problems and invent solutions, with UI/UX design to build new features; with engineering to build features and manage prioritization, and 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.
What You’ll Do

• Investigate and analyze requests from customers, partners, and internal team members, design features to solve these problems, and drive their implementation.
• Contribute to company-level product planning and execution by developing concepts into specs, evaluating them, and participating to build a strategic product roadmap.
• Work with UI/UX designers to craft new features, providing an intuitive and flexible user experience.
• Manage large engineering projects by collaborating with engineering leaders and advising on prioritization.

• Extremely strong written and verbal communication. Ability to tailor communication style to different audiences, ranging from customers to engineers to C-Suite executives.
