Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager ABOUT NOMAD Nomad is unlocking economic opportunity for everyone in the long-term rental community. We offer property owners guaranteed rent and peace of mind, while delivering a better rental experience for residents. Backed by leading investors, we're transforming a massive, fragmented market with technology that makes renting better for everyone involved. WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS Nomad is looking for a detail-oriented and technically-adept Product Manager who can operate at the seam of product + engineering: turning real-world problems into build-ready scope, making priority and trade-off calls, and driving outcomes across customer-facing experiences and operator tooling. This is not a generic “PM as researcher/strategist” role - though you'll need to deeply understand our customers and business. This is not a quasi-coding role. Your focus is to be a conduit from Engineering to Product and the business bringing technical clarity, execution quality, and engineering leverage. WHAT YOU’LL OWN - Technical problem definition: translate ambiguous business goals into crisp system-level problem statements, constraints, and measurable success criteria. - Scope & priority trade-offs: make decisions with Eng on what ships now vs later, quality vs speed, short-term fixes vs durable solutions - aligned with business impact. - Build-ready specifications and tickets: write requirements engineers trust and appreciate (edge cases, data implications, API/contracts, workflows, failure modes, acceptance criteria, rollout + rollback, monitoring). - Day-to-day partnership with engineering: refine designs, unblock execution, ensure alignment, and keep quality high without adding heavy process. - Data-backed validation: use SQL (and instrumentation understanding) to validate behavior, quantify impact, debug issues, and confirm post-launch outcomes. - Shipping + operations excellence: lead release readiness, coordinate cross-functional dependencies, handle incidents/postmortems follow-up, and continuously improve delivery hygiene. Learn our operational processes. - Product shaping: contribute to roadmap shaping and iteration - especially where technical constraints, data, or system behavior determine what’s feasible and valuable. WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON (EXAMPLES) - Customer-facing workflows where correctness, edge cases, and reliability matter. - Operator-facing tooling that scales internal operations and improves customer experience. - Integrations and system interactions (APIs, webhooks, background jobs, data flows). - Instrumentation, analytics definitions, and “does the product actually behave like we think?” verification. WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT - Not a role where success is primarily customer interview volume, competitive tear-downs, or design ideation. - Not a role where you are writing code or building features yourself. - Not a “status meeting” or Gantt-chart-first project management job. - Not a role where you can be successful without strong technical fluency. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR REQUIRED SKILLS - You demonstrably are at the cutting edge trying and finding value in AI tools to make you more effective. - While you are not a software engineer, you can read and reason about code well enough to understand how a system works. - You are strong in SQL and can independently validate product behavior and outcomes (joins, aggregations, window functions). - You are fluent in modern product delivery with engineers: scoping, ticketing, acceptance criteria, rollout plans, monitoring, and fast iteration. - You can navigate GitHub workflows (issues, PRs, reviews) and are comfortable sharing your GitHub profile. - You have a track record of shipping meaningful product improvements and owning outcomes, not just writing docs. PREFERRED - Experience with integrations, payments/fintech-like workflows, risk/eligibility logic, or other “edge-case heavy” domains. - Experience improving internal tools / operator ...
