Senior Product Manager Role Overview

Newchip is looking for a highly experienced Senior Product Manager to direct and lead product development for our global Accelerator Program, including our +100-hour eCourse LMS offering, online user experience, and other strategic functions. As such, you will help shape the vision of the program and curriculum, creating a scalable world-class product strategy that impacts thousands of global startup founders in the Newchip ecosystem. Furthermore, you will oversee the development of our online Accelerator experience with the support of instructional designers, LMS experts, course developers, design teams, and other key product stakeholders.

As the Senior Product Manager, you will also be responsible for driving the development of the Product team, which includes making key hires and owning all strategic targets and KPIs of the Newchip Accelerator product. This is the perfect role for you because you know exactly how to build functional teams that are able to get things done fast and right. You also drive cross-functional collaboration with departmental heads over the collection of feedback and discussion of critical data that will help you drive your team objectives. Moreover, you are a master of agile methodologies, product frameworks, and project management softwares - you know how and where to apply them productively in a fast-paced, rapidly-growing startup environment.

You know you are the right fit for this role because you are an execution-minded leader and have substantial experience optimizing and innovating on established products that clearly make an impact on thousands - if not millions - of people. All the decisions you make are data-driven, and if the data mechanisms do not exist, you naturally build the processes to collect them effectively and efficiently. In short, you thrive in this role because you create actionable steps - and execute on them - all while keeping the big picture and long-term broader vision in mind.

Distinctive performance as a Senior Product Manager role may enable you to become the Director of Product at Newchip within the next 1-3 years, depending on the level of impact, rigor, and value you bring and create within your immediate role and the broader Product team.

Ideally, you already live in Austin, TX, or are eager to move here within the next 1-2 months!
