Senior Product Manager, Discourse Graphs

Astera Institute is hiring a Senior Product Manager for its Discourse Graphs team, which builds open-source tools for research teams to document, connect, and share questions, claims, and evidence. The role will shape product strategy and priorities, gather researcher feedback, and work hands-on with designers and developers to prototype and guide product development.

Responsibilities:

• You'll shape the product strategy, working out with the founders where Discourse Graphs should go, what to prioritize, and how to get there
• Week to week you'll talk with the researchers who use the tools, turn what you hear into one ordered queue of work together with the designer and developers, and show your ideas as working prototypes as often as you write them up
• You’ll be able to rate priority based on user need and our product vision

Requirements:

• Comfort soliciting and navigating user input in context of documented user flows
• A habit of talking with users every week, and of showing ideas as prototypes
• A way of working alongside designers and engineers rather than handing work to them
• Experience working without a manager: noticing what needs doing, taking it on, and keeping others posted in writing
