About Factory
About the Role
As the PM for Growth at Factory, you’ll own our overall approach to get users active and productive on the platform.
You’ll be responsible for our activation metric: how do we measure what it means to be an activated user, and how do we get more users to that point and beyond, whether they’re coming from our self-serve product or onboarding via an enterprise deployment.
And you’ll own our self-serve product offering: what we provide as part of it, how we price and package it, the role it plays in our broader company strategy, and how we should evaluate its success.
There won’t be a single “growth” engineering team to work with—you’ll operate across multiple engineering pods and work closely with our Marketing, BizOps, and Deployment functions to make sure we’re doing the right things to create more happy Factory users.
You’ll need a strong thesis for what makes a compelling early software factory experience in a competitive market, and an opinion about how PLG best reinforces a top-down Enterprise motion. You’ll need sharp technical instincts, genuine empathy for developers, and the ability to make fast, high-quality decisions in ambiguity. You should be as comfortable diving into technical architecture discussions as you are presenting roadmap priorities to leadership.
Our goal with the product function at Factory is to be high-leverage, high-ownership, and hands-on—you can expect to be working directly with the C-suite at the largest companies in the world, and shipping improvements directly to the product. And you’ll be central to defining the role of Product in a software factory-driven organization—a pattern we intend to pioneer and then help distribute across our customer base and the broader industry.
