JOB: PRODUCT MANAGER (SaaS)

Holistics is on a mission to improve data teams' productivity by bringing software engineering

best practices to Data Analytics. We are looking for relentless and passionate builders to join
our team to drive Holistics towards that mission.

And as a Product Manager of Holistics, you will be able to learn and get involved in building
a simple yet powerful high-tech product that is directly shaping the data industry.

HOW WE BUILD PRODUCTS

Product Culture

 Autonomous but aligned: We adapt the Spotify Squad Model. Our team is split into
4 Squads, each (5-7 members consists of PM, PD, and Engineers work autonomously
together. Each has its own mission, strategy, and goals that contribute to our product's
overall vision.
 We embrace transparency culture across the company. We make sure that everyone
know what's going on and have access to any information they need to make informed
decisions, whether it is a technical document, a revenue dashboard, or a strategy
discussion.
 We have a strong writing (doc-first) culture. Documents create transparency and
clarity of thought, almost everything in Holistics is communicated through written
documents. Everybody has to learn the best practices in writing and note-taking such
as (Evergreen Notes, PKM, Zettelkasten, etc.)
 Customer-informed, not Customer-driven. We observe and listen carefully to our
customers, but we don't try to build everything they ask for. We strive to empathize,
learn their real needs, and figure out how they would fit into our vision.
 Data-informed, not Data-driven. Product management is an intersection of science
and art, data are used to inform our decisions, strengthen our intuition rather than to be
relied on.
 We maintain a problem-solving culture. Everyone is strongly encouraged to have
rigorous understanding of a problem, separating Problem Space vs Solution Space as
well as using Eigenquestions to find the most important dimensions of a problem.
Solutions are deliberated over with trade-offs explicitly listed in discussion
documentation. Watch this talk on problem-solving for engineers (Vietnamese) from
our cofounder.
 We do not compromise product quality for artificial deadline. We find the balance
 between moving fast and thinking deeply about long-term product vision and
architecture.
 Everyone is a builder, Experimentation Culture
 Continuous learning: We encourage people to learn and share, because each member
is an atom of the product/company’s success: We have a weekly TED talk program
where team members present about topics they are interested in; Engineering Team
organizes weekly technical talks as well as monthly technical workshops; Product Team
has regular AMA events with external product experts, and Happy Sharing events to
share what have we learn; We share what we learn in every meeting with have, and on
every channel we communicate

Product Principles

Product Principles inform how we build, design, and make decisions when developing
products.

 Always start with problem: The key to success is identifying the right problem to
solve. Always start everything with deeply understanding of the problems to be solved,
be clearly aware of the problem and solution spaces.
 Customer-Centric: We build products to make our customers' lives better. Constantly
talk to our customers and observe how they use product to understand deeply their
challenges at work.
 Think Deep, Think Big, Start Small: Think in long-term, envision how the product
will evolve and fit into the big picture. Then start with a smallest coherent solution.
Always ask yourself how can you ship sooner and learn faster.
 Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible: Data Analytics
is huge space, and data tools are usually complex. We challenge ourselves to build a
powerful analytics product that is also easy to use, allowing anyone to make data-
informed decisions.
 Prioritize Ruthlessly: We must deprioritize a lot of things in order to do what we
prioritize. Each feature increases maintenance cost, operational cost, and the product
complexity. It is better to focus on doing a few things well than many things half-assed.
 Empowered Product Team: We always start with the problem, instead of a list of
features, everyone is empowered to dig deeper into the problem space, define their own
approach and strategy to solve the problem. - Empowered - Marty Cagan. We
substantially invest in individuals to reach their potential, because we believe each
individual's success generates compounding growth for the entire product.
