Associate Product Manager - Remote
Posted about 2 months ago
Company Overview
Our client is a leader in EV charging infrastructure and fleet electrification, providing cutting-edge solutions for large-scale fleet operators transitioning to zero-emission transport. As a trusted partner in the industry, we specialize in charge management systems, energy optimization, and technical consulting to ensure seamless EV infrastructure deployment. We work with some of the largest fleets globally, solving complex technical challenges to enable a smooth transition to electric mobility.
Role Vision
We build durable, cross-functional product teams and empower them to deliver meaningful customer outcomes. This role supports the product team by ensuring strong execution, coordination, discovery support, and delivery across the product lifecycle — from early problem exploration through release and launch — helping teams turn strategy into shipped, customer-valued outcomes.
The Associate Product Manager works closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Designers to support delivery against the four pillars of product success: ensuring our products are Valuable (something customers choose to buy and use), Viable (solutions that work within business constraints), Usable (products users can easily adopt), and Feasible (products we can reliably build and release). Ownership of these pillars is shared across Product, Design, and Engineering.
Purpose of the Role
The purpose of this role is to support both discovery and delivery activities, helping the team deeply understand customer problems and translate those insights into well-shaped, deliverable product outcomes.
This role balances execution excellence (planning, coordination, releases, launches) with hands-on involvement in discovery, including collaborating with engineers to write, shape, and slice user stories that clearly express customer needs and intent.
It is ideal for someone with a few years of professional experience who is looking to specialize in product. The role suits a candidate with strong project management instincts and customer curiosity who wants to grow into broader product ownership over time.
All employees are expected to demonstrate commitment to company values and work collaboratively in support of company goals.
