Lead Product Manager

Product Management at Coda

At Coda, Product Managers translate customer success into commercial impact. They maximize enterprise value by solving real customer problems and turning those wins into measurable outcomes. PMs at Coda think like founders: they take end-to-end ownership, shrink the time from insight to execution, and hold a high bar for craft and quality.

The Opportunity

This is a highly cross-functional, hands-on role. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Design, Data, and GTM, and you’ll do whatever it takes to ship: talk to customers, dig into data, write tight specs, prototype flows, sweat UX details, and remove blockers. You’ll make good decisions in ambiguity, be right a lot, drive clear priorities, and deliver meaningful results.

What you'll do

• Own the roadmap and outcomes: Set direction, make tradeoffs, and ensure the roadmap delivers measurable business impact (revenue, retention, margin, or market share).
• Turn strategy into execution: Lead the team through agile sprint cycles, breaking initiatives into clear stories, requirements, and milestones that ship.
• Define success and measure it: Establish success metrics up front, instrument what matters, and use data + customer feedback to iterate quickly.
• Make the hard prioritization calls: Navigate the tension between today’s immediate needs and the product’s long-term health to build sustainable competitive advantage.
• Unblock the team relentlessly: Remove roadblocks for Engineering, Design, Data, and GTM so the team can move fast without compromising quality.
• Be a full-stack executor: If needed, jump in to talk to customers, write copy, prototype flows, build enablement materials, write docs, analyze data, or respond to CS tickets.
• Drive results, not consensus: You are not a peacemaker or a consensus driver. Your job is not to include every opinion. You will listen hard, decide, and move. You’re not here to make everyone happy. You’re here to ship and win.
• Lead through influence and ownership: Keep stakeholders aligned, ensure nothing falls through the cracks, take accountability when things go wrong, and give the team credit when things go right.

What you'll bring

• A track record of delivering successful outcomes. You can point to products you’ve led where you didn’t just "ship features," but moved core business metrics (revenue, churn, margin, or market share).
• Strong product judgment. You can make hard calls in ambiguity, explain the tradeoffs, and be right more often than not.
• Ruthless prioritization. You can clearly articulate why we should invest in problem A vs. B based on customer value and long-term business impact.
• A high bar for craft. You care about the “why” and the “how” behind great products. You sweat details, have great taste, and know what it takes to ship something special.
• A strong bias to action. Speed matters. You ship MVPs, learn fast and iterate. You reduce the time from insight to execution without lowering standards.
• High ownership. You operate without boundaries and never hide behind “not my job.” When you see a gap, you don’t wait for permission. You do whatever it takes to deliver the outcome.
• Analytical rigor. You’re deeply comfortable with data. You can run your own analysis, understand complex schemas, and use data to pressure-test decisions.
• Clear, strategic communication. You can distill complex problems into a crisp narrative that aligns execs and gives teams clarity and momentum.
