Product Manager for PostHog's observability suite, focused on data-driven discovery, user research, and commercial strategy rather than delivery management.
ABOUT POSTHOG
PostHog is your product’s context layer. It ingests and stores your analytics, errors, replays, and business data so you and your agents can query and act on it.
We launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort https://posthog.com/handbook/story. We've since shipped more than a dozen products, including:
1. Product-led. More than 500K organizations have installed PostHog, mostly driven by word-of-mouth. We have intensely strong product-market fit.
2. Default alive https://paulgraham.com/aord.html. Revenue is growing incredibly quickly, and we're very efficient. We raise money to push ambition and grow faster, not to keep the lights on.
3. Well-funded. We've raised more than $180m from some of the world's top investors. We're set up for a long, ambitious journey.
We're focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and being as weird as possible https://posthog.com/deskhog.
THINGS WE CARE ABOUT
PRODUCT AT POSTHOG
Product management plays a slightly different role at PostHog https://posthog.com/handbook/product/product-team than at most other companies and is incredibly important. Instead of micro-managing engineers, PMs are responsible for research, data, and setting high-level context across the organization. They work across multiple products https://posthog.com/handbook/product/product-team#small-team-membership to determine how products are being used, what the competitive landscape is like, and how users are feeling about PostHog. Using the usual PM jargon we could say PMs at PostHog are very discovery-focused and don’t engage in delivery https://www.svpg.com/discovery-vs-delivery/ almost at all.
1. Run growth reviews https://posthog.com/handbook/product/per-product-growth-reviews for products that have product-market-fit
2. Dive into data research projects to answer challenging questions without obvious answers
3. Organize user interviews https://posthog.com/handbook/product/user-feedback
