Technical Product Manager - Startups

Technical Product Manager - Startups

We are looking for a dynamic and impactful technical product leader to join the Axiom Zen team in beautiful Vancouver, Canada - or San Francisco, California.

Most of what we do at Axiom Zen involves building products or businesses from scratch to early levels of product-market fit. You will be tasked with carrying projects from inception to MVP, market validation, and the subsequent growth stage. You will be working closely with an expert team of designers, software engineers, and strategy folks but will be given enough freedom to make your own mistakes - and breakthroughs.

To succeed in this role, you should have a deep technology background as well as a native understanding of important business factors determining the impact of web- or mobile-driven products. You may have built your own startups or businesses in the past, bonus points for both success and failure!

Fundamentally, this role is a barrel - quoting from Keith Rabois: "If you think about people, there are two categories of high-quality people: there is the ammunition, and then there are the barrels. You can add all the ammunition you want, but if you have only five barrels in your company, you can literally do only five things simultaneously [...] someone who can take an idea from conception to live and it’s almost perfect [...] This kind of person can pull people with them. They can charge up the hill. They can motivate their team, and they can edit themselves autonomously."

Include a Mix of Skills, Qualifications, and Industry-specific Words : How to Use Keywords in Your Resume

How to Use Keywords in Your Resume
ATS software is not always accurate. So when you’ve found the keywords to put on your resume, you need to include them clearly so that the ATS can read them.
Don’t: Embed resume keywords in images or use fancy fonts.
Do: Use standard fonts and avoid images in favor of plain text.

 

Include a Mix of Skills, Qualifications, and Industry-specific Words
The ideal keywords to include in your resume should be related to soft skills and hard skills.
Other keywords include any certifications you have — as long as they’re specified in the job listing.
For instance, if the job ad for a web developer role mentions “programming languages,” your skills section might look like this:
C++
Java
Python
TypeScript
These languages are good examples of industry-specific terminology. Only people specializing in IT are likely to know what “TypeScript” is.
It’s important to use job-specific resume keywords so that the hiring manager knows you’re familiar with the industry — even if you’re looking for an entry-level job.
Including these words shows you’ve done at least the minimum amount of research, and have an interest in the field.
Also, use synonyms to increase the variety of keywords on your resume. A “programmer” should also refer to themself as a “coder” because these two words mean roughly the same thing, and you never know exactly what terms have been programmed into the ATS.
