A typical day as a Cogniter will contain the following tasks & responsibilities

• Breaking down the requirements with the Product Manager and Tech Lead, turning them into execution pieces and finding the right sequence
• Managing schedule, timelines, and milestones (i.e. Alpha, Beta, and GA)
• Driving the tradeoffs between usability, Go To Market (GTM) lead time, features scope, technical debt/investment (i.e. across UX/PM/Tech/GTM) to maximize value for our customers and Cognite
• Drive end-to-end alignment from sales to delivery, security, and support
• Managing internal and external dependencies arising from end-to-end alignment
• Managing budgeting and resource needs
• Managing in-market product performance in scope of the program (e.g. usage metrics, cost drivers, required delivery effort, as well as quality, reliability, security etc.), ensuring those metrics are measured, reported, reviewed and acted upon

We believe most of these should match your experience

• Must have experience from a SaaS company at scale
• Must have software development experience (any language) in developing, testing, deploying code for a software product
• Good system design skills or understanding (e.g. components architecture, scaling mechanisms, load balancing, rate limiting etc.)
• Experience in running complex, cross-discipline and cross-department programs
• Strong influencing skills: influencing without power (none will report to you), i.e. using different influencing skills and establishing your authority
• Structured, thorough and detail oriented
• Genuine interest in or direct experience on the full product lifecycle (product strategy, sales, delivery, adoption, support, sunsetting)
• Experience in leading and managing Product Development teams, running sprints, scrums, making scoping tradeoffs and discussing technical options with Tech Leads and architects
• Technical MSc degree or proven technical hands-on experience

• Don't meet every single requirement? We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
