The Program Manager (PM) position requires a hands on, highly motivated individual who can drive new product development from concept through delivery, including developing market requirements and product specifications. Flexibility and adaptability are essential. The PM will interface directly with all key stakeholders, including those involved in business development and marketing (including the Chairman, Chief Business Officer, VP of Digital Products) as well as with the entire software development team (including the lead Software Architect and other team leaders as directed). Strong interpersonal skills are essential, as success in this role will involve developing trusted and respected relationships with those stakeholders. Success will be measured by the extent to which products are developed and brought to market that are high quality, meet the requirements of stakeholders, and are delivered on time. The role will be graded primarily based on team feedback and deliverables. Initial projects will include, but not be limited to, digital products such as Nuvique 2.0 (curation platform), BiblioBoard 1.0 (consumer platform), BiblioBoard web version 1.0, a BiblioBoard institutional platform (for libraries) and a Sales/Royalty reporting system. The PM will also be responsible for developing project templates for detailing market requirements and product specifications, such that project plans can be communicated in an effective and consistent manner. In developing project plans, an emphasis will be placed on being thoughtful, methodical and thorough. The PM is not necessarily responsible for knowing every variable and dependency, but they should be able to thoughtfully and thoroughly determine what questions need to be contemplated.
The position will report to the CEO, though it is expected that the role is highly independent. The ideal candidate would have 3-10 years experience in software product or program management and/or working in a software development environment. Technical software skills are a plus. The position will require learning our basic software design concepts and processes, participating in the Agile software development process, and attending all key development meetings including sprint planning meetings (scrums), sprint retrospectives, and daily stand up meetings.
Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, BiblioLabs offers an annual bonus pool based on 20% of the Company’s after-tax profits which is allocated at management’s discretion based on contribution to past and future business opportunities. The Company benefits include medical and dental insurance and a retirement savings program. To apply, please send your resume and salary requirements to itjobs@bibliolabs.com.
