Everyone is welcome at Handshake. We know diverse teams build better products and we are committed to creating an inclusive culture built on a foundation of respect for all individuals. We strongly encourage candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, historically marginalized or underrepresented groups to apply.

YOUR IMPACT:

We are looking for a Product Manager who strives to build world-class products to support our international expansion and the tremendous growth we’re seeing across many geographies and platform areas.
On the back of Handshake being the leading early talent network in the US and a growing customer base in the UK, France and Germany, we’re doubling down on the region to bring more equitable access to opportunities for early talents to more countries across the globe. To be close to our partners, customers and users in the region, we’re investing into growing our local product development team.
As a Product Manager in Handshake’s Europe-based team, you will be responsible for Handshake’s global in-product analytics and data integrations products. This includes reporting back to enterprise partners on the success of their recruiting programs, to university partners on their students’ activity and success on Handshake, and leveraging data sets within Handshake to create unique data-centric job search and career development experiences for students and job seekers.
Additionally, you will be responsible for managing existing and building new API integrations between Handshake and third-party platforms like applicant tracking systems (ATS) and others that employers and schools use in conjunction with Handshake.
Overall, you will play a key role in Handshake’s global go-to-market goals and the overall development of our product.

YOUR EXPERIENCE:

• 4+ years partnering with engineering teams to ship code. Ideally in a many-stakeholder environment with cross-functional teams.
• Proven track record of prioritizing shipping and delivering great products to users, ideally related to analytics or data integration products.
• Strong foundation in roadmap development and releasing products for complex, multi-sided marketplace businesses or SaaS platforms.
• Empathy and user focus. You challenge your own assumptions, and dive headfirst into understanding the needs of our local partners and customers.
• Exceptional communication skills that includes working with customers, users, and internal cross-functional partners as well as executives.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills. You can create and run data-informed processes and make validated decisions based on research and data.
• Having worked with external APIs integrations before is a big plus!
  For cash compensation, we set standard ranges for all U.S.-based roles based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including geographic location as well as candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
