Manager Notes:

• We are hiring for a new Org within global technology. This is the Technical Product Management (TPM).  These roles are all within e-commerce section.  The manager will need Product Managers with a Technical background.  A development background is helpful.  Almost all of them need to be able to understand and participate in technical solutioning and engage with the business partners. We need a mix of both.  I will look for someone with an ability to engage with the business partner – don’t always agree with what is being put forward.  To understand the eco system and the weakness of the platforms.  Participate actively and vocally in these convos.  On the technology side I would want them to hold the engineering counter parts responsible for delivery and actively participate in technology solutions.
  
• Deep expertise within mobile apps – worked on large scale mobile apps before.  How have you implemented ab testing for your app – putting in the technology that enables the AB test – building the foundation for the mobile app to be great. What is a typical life cycle of an app customer.  They should understand this level of experience.  When they install the app why do they uninstall it – how can we regain more customers through technical solutions.  This is a technical role not on the UX aspect of mobile apps.  Can have android or iOS they don’t need both.  The candidate does not need to have any UX experience for this role. 
  

Duties:

• Envision, plan and execute on a mobile app platform for all company consumer apps.
  
• Focus on developing reusable app-specific frameworks e.g. for location, notifications, 3rd party SDKs, attribution, tagging, localization etc.
  
• Work with engineering and other teams to understand internal pain points in the current app ecosystem.
  
• Track and bring visibility to app acquisition and retention metrics, dive deep into how the mobile platform can help improve these metrics.
  
• Prior experience as a product manager for a consumer mobile app with > 1 million MAUs
  
• Prior experience in native app metrics and growth
  
• Understanding of platform guidelines for iOS and/or Android apps.
