The Who, What, Why and Where

Twilio seeks a Senior Technical Product Manager to be a key leader in defining a new product offering at Twilio in the customer engagement space. The person in this role will be critical in shaping Twilio’s data and intelligence strategy, which will empower our customers to create highly personalized communications and experiences for their contacts. This person will be responsible for identifying key customer problems, as well as prioritizing, building and bringing the solution to market. This person will collaborate with PMs, designers and engineers on their team, coordinate with product and tech leads on adjacent Twilio products, and represent the voice of the customer in cross-Twilio communications.

Who?

Twilio is looking for candidates who live the Twilio Magic and have a demonstrated track record of identifying and executing product opportunities deeply grounded in customer needs. You have:

  • 5+ years experience in product management
  • Fluent in performing both qualitative and quantitative customer research
  • Strong structured problem solving and analytical skills
  • Able to structure work for multiple scrum teams
  • Has the technical ability to understand software and recognize areas of product integration, document product roadmaps, and engage with design, engineering and PMM leads
  • Proficient understanding of machine learning. Comfortable collaborating with MLEs and data scientists
  • Technically savvy and experienced with APIs, communications, enterprise software. CRM, support or marketing automation software experience a plus
  • Experience working on API-first products a plus
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience required, MS/MBA a plus

What?

As a Senior Technical Product Manager, you will live the Twilio Magic values:

  • WEAR THE CUSTOMER’S SHOES: Talk with customers and listen to their problems.
  • WRITE IT DOWN: Create clear, written documentation of the problems you seek to solve (and associated risks). Present those plans to your team, BU leads and leadership. 
  • RUTHLESSLY PRIORITIZE & DRAW THE OWL: Ruthlessly prioritize the incremental path to solving customer problems, delivering concrete customer value at each stage. Work closely with customer design partners to deliver experiences they love and value.
  • BE AN OWNER & BE BOLD: Think creatively about the unique advantages of Twilio’s communication breadth and scale. We have vast amounts of engagement data across our business units - but it is not yet centralized or utilized. This team will help shape the future of Twilio.
  • EMPOWER OTHERS: Collaborate extensively with other PMs, other functional teams and BUs within Twilio. Be an advocate and coach for other PMs. Help engineering teams focus on what is needed to create a great product experience. Facilitate quarterly planning, execute sprints in agile/scrum, manage the backlog and sprint prioritization. Collaborate with GTM teams on product launches (marketing, support, sales enablement), and dev experience teams on documentation.
  • OTHER: Some monthly travel required to collaborate with engineering teams in Denver and very occasionally Madrid. 

Why?

Today, Twilio powers the delivery of billions of the world’s communications. Increasingly, we’re hearing from our B2C customers that they’re struggling to harness the massive amounts of valuable data they generate, much of which stems from the communications we help them send. We seek to uncover how Twilio can help customers utilize their valuable data to create unique, individualized experiences that their competitors can’t replicate. We want to help them become more proactive (outcome-driven) than reactive (event-driven) in their customer engagements. We are a new initiative and team at Twilio that will function much like an internal start-up. If you want to shape the future of B2C customer engagement and Twilio, this project is for you!

Twilio is a company that is empowering the world’s developers with modern communication in order to build better applications. Twilio is truly unique; we are a company committed to your growth, your learning, your development, and your entire employee experience. We only win when our employees succeed and we're dedicated to helping you develop your strengths. We have a cultural foundation built on diversity, inclusion, and innovation and we want you and your ideas to thrive at Twilio.

Where?

This position will be located in our beautiful office at 375 Beale Street in San Francisco. You will enjoy our incredible perks: catered meals, snacks and drinks, game room, ergonomic desks, massages, Wednesday Night dinners, monthly All Hands and more.

You will also be part of a company that believes in small teams for maximum impact; that strives to balance work and home life; that understands that this is a marathon, not a sprint; that continuously and purposefully builds an inclusive culture where everyone is able to do and be the best version of themselves. We seek people who naturally demonstrate our values, who are challenged by problems, empower others to thrive, and can draw the owl and not be beholden to one playbook.
