The product team at Klaviyo is passionate about identifying, specing, and shipping solutions to solve tough customer problems.

 

Klaviyo is a startup located in the heart of downtown Boston. We build software that helps tens of thousands of businesses have more relevant and personal relationships with billions of consumers. We are a product driven company and over invest in making beautiful, efficient, and fast workflows that help our customers accomplish what was previously unimaginable. We push each other to move out of our comfort zone, learn new technologies, and work hard to ensure each day is better than the last.

 

 

You will spend your time getting to know the product team and our customers. You'll over-index on learning the product, watching customers use it, using it yourself, and investigating how Klaviyo fits into the stack of tools our customers rely on. You will also build your own ecommerce store, set it up with a Klaviyo account, and turned a profit; by the end of this time, its like youve been working in our industry for years.

 

Youll likely:

- Take a course on our product and ace the test at the end

- Spend 90% of your time working with support

- Get in the queues and answer support tickets for our customers

 

Now that you are familiar with our people and our customers, you will dig in hard to our workflows, processes, and tools. You take your years of expertise and critically evaluate how we work, why weve evolved that way, and what about our current set up is keeping us from our maximum impact and efficiency. By the end of this timeframe, you are able to make thoughtful recommendations around how the team works together as well as how we can improve our recruiting processes.

 

Youll likely:

- Learn the architectural overview of the product

- Become a go-to expert on how the product should behave

- Help see a product enhancement from spec to successful completion during a sprint

- Connect with every internal team and learn what will help them succeed

 

Some of your suggestions are starting to be implemented and the teams youre responsible for are starting to thrive. Alignment is tighter, individuals are moving more quickly, and were releasing better quality product even faster. Youve sunk your teeth into our planned roadmap and have helped mentor other product managers to make exceptional choices that lead to a more reliable path forward. Youve taken ownership of the recruiting process and brought some incredible people into your pipeline. By the end of this time, the team comes to you frequently for guidance and youve earned the reputation of being a servant-leader who drives outcomes in a motivating and inspiring way.

 

Youll likely:

- Help execute a key product improvement (identify problem, define key metrics, brainstorm ideas, test hypotheses, write spec)

- Help teams ship quality features

- Share some ideas/specs of improvements you want to make in the product
