Product Manager in a small multinational team in Japan

===========
Product Manager | PUSHCODE
===========

We are looking for a Product Manager for PUSHCODE, a service that makes it easy to implement "web push notifications".　

[ PUSHCODE ] https://www.pushcode.jp

The Product Manager is responsible for ensuring that the product is sustainable as a business, and for prioritizing and directing the product development necessary to achieve this.

PUSHCODE's Product Managers are committed to reducing the risk of building the "wrong thing". Even if what we create is wrong, we will develop it in a way that minimizes the loss. We also manage the entire product development process so that the product team can flexibly change direction at any time.

[ Area of Responsibility and Job Description ]

◆Define the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
You will work as a team to define the minimum value that should be provided to customers, and define it in the form of a product. You will also define the "minimum" in terms of software development so that there will be minimal loss even if the product fails.

◆Identify and test your assumptions
As you proceed with development, you will encounter various "I want to try it!" and "We should do it!" ideas (assumptions) will come up. It is not "lean" to try everything, so the product manager clarifies which assumptions the team should work on to validate.

◆Proceed based on data
You will lead your team to make decisions based on qualitative and quantitative data. You think about what data we need, how we can get that data, and then you actually collect the data and organize it so that the team can access it.

★The PUSHCODE team is multinational, and we develop in English. We are looking for people who respect different countries and cultures, diverse personalities and values, and enjoy working together.

Working style

★Remote work
Currently, all employees are working remotely. Once the situation of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) infection settles down, we plan to allow employees to come to the office to work. You can also continue to work remotely and move outside the commuting area of the office.

★Flextime system
EDOCODE has a flextime system, so as long as you work during the core hours of 10:00 - 16:00, the rest of your time is free.

Applying from outside Japan

★Time zone
You must reside in an area where the time difference from Asia/Tokyo(UTC+09:00) is within 2 hours.

★Contract　
In principle, if you work while living outside Japan, the relationship is not an employment contract but an outsourcing contract. However, the way you are treated and interacted with in the company is exactly the same as that of an employee.

★Migration to Japan
We provide full support for foreign nationals moving to Japan to obtain their status of residence.
