Product Manager

At **Tetrixx **, when it comes to improving the environment and building sustainable solutions, no challenge is too big to take on. Tetrixx is where your years of intense training and experience come to make sense, giving you a real purpose, immense pride in what you do and, more importantly, clarity on why you do it.

Here are a few, core responsibilities that TPM has to take care of:
**Owning the Product Strategy and Roadmap**:
PM has to collaborate with the founders of the company to develop, own, and implement a full-fledged product strategy and a game plan (product roadmap) for it. This is the most crucial part of a startup This entails specifying:

- What the startup wants to accomplish with its products.
- The specific business goals they want to.
- List of steps and initiatives required to get to the product vision (plan of action).
- The resources required to stick to the product roadmap in timely manners.

After creating a product strategy and roadmap with the founders, TPM would then have to communicate and implement this strategy to the startup.

The TPM acts as the main point of contact for any queries about the product roadmap (for example, how far have the teams progressed?).

**Aligning Internal Teams Towards the Vision**:
The second biggest responsibility of TPM is to align the internal team (regardless of how few members there may be) towards a common company-wide agenda - the product vision.

TPM has to make sure that all the stakeholders, product leaders, marketing, and product development teams are on the same page and ensure that the product will deliver values to potential customers.

**Be an Individual Contributor for Every Major Business Function**:
A typical startup doesn’t have much resources to spend. As a result, TPM there is expected to wear many hats and directly execute some of the product strategies themselves (in addition to managing team members). In other words, they have to assume the role of a generalist.For that reason, a great product manager should have sufficient know-how of:

- Product marketing (product life cycles, market/user research, client expectation, moneytarisation,GTM,etc.)
- Business in general (finances, strategy, etc.)
- Product development (user stories, design, engineering, etc.)

Hence, startup product managers are expected to do everything - from influencing decision-making to taking initiatives that result from those decisions.

**Manage the GTM Strategy**:
Without a product marketing at this stage, TPM, in close contact to Founders, is expected to create and execute the go-to-market (GTM) strategy.

This entails:

- **Determining a Pricing Strategy **- the TPM works with the founder to opt for a pricing strategy that aligns with the business goals and clients expectations.
- **Determining a Distribution Strategy **- another critical component of a GTM strategy is determining a strategy to reach the end-customers.

Behind every successful product, there’s a high-level GTM strategy that helps bring it to the world.

**Provide Feedback and Get Updates**:
Once first MVP will be launched, TPM has to work closely with the internal teams to analyze and act on customer feedback.

Again, this requires a hands-on approach. TPM has to create a process that enables the sharing of this feedback instantly with the relevant teams. Furthermore, the process should also describe the way those problems are addressed and resolved.

For instance, if feedback reveals certain gaps in the product (a glitch or potential improvements), the engineering team should be involved. On top of that, the PM has to create and implement a plan of action that resolves the problem and helps fill the gaps.

**Measure Results and Optimize**:
Last but not least, the TPM is responsible for collecting, evaluating, and sharing product-related data.

For this purpose, they track certain product metrics to make sure that the startup is on a trajectory that hits the business goals.

Additionally, after analyzing this data, the startup product manager is also expected to lead the corrective/improvement measures through internal discussions.
