About the role:

 

AccuTrade is looking for a Senior Product Manager who is a highly motivated individual with a background of bringing commercialized products to market in an online environment across a large sales team.  We are actively seeking a candidate to join our AccuTrade team as a Senior Product Manager II who will be focused on managing a soon-to-be-released product to our 1,000+ dealer customers.  This role will work with customers, technology, operations, sales, finance and marketing teams to ensure the launch and ongoing product management are successful.  This Senior PM II will be instrumental in increasing AccuTrade’s dealer market share and product growth.

 

As a Senior Product Manager II at AccuTrade, you are a creative problem solver, a role model to other PMs, and an executor driven by positive outcomes for our customers. You have strong customer empathy and make product decisions based on both qualitative and quantitative customer and business data.

You work with our technology team, bringing products and features to life through an iterative development cycle.  Once delivered, you will work with the sales, operations and marketing teams to launch such products and features across 1,000+ dealer customers as well as 200+ front-line sellers.
