Your challenge, should you choose to accept:

Adia is looking for an experienced Technical Product Manager who can work with our Product Development team on the Adia platform. We’re talking creating and evaluating technical solutions to interesting problems, destroying impediments through ingenuity and heading up a world-class development team in pursuit of product excellence. This Technical Product Manager should understand user and client needs and have deep technical knowledge to help prioritize and manage the product backlog in an Agile environment.

• Build relationships with the Adia Product Development team through sprint planning and daily management of the Agile process
• Help plan and prioritize the product roadmap alongside the rest of the product team (QA Specialists, Product Marketing Manager, Data Scientist, and Head of Product)
• Provide guidance to the Product Dev team in solutioning features and navigating impediments or blockers
• Challenge the Product Development team when projects run over schedule or deliverables are not met
• Create solutions to simplify complex and resource-intensive, asynchronous processes like order creation and job matching
• Proactively manage changes in project scope, identify potential crises, and devise contingency plans
• Identify problems and bring solutions for a more optimized platform
• Assist with the development of reports and the loading and configuration of data and systems
• Help determine the feasibility of different third-party integrations

What you bring to the table:

• Educational background in computer science, information systems, or related field
• 3+ years of proven experience leading development teams and projects in a similar role
• Proven experience with .NET framework in Azure, Xamarin, and Angular
• A familiarity with other technologies including native Android, iOS, and react native a plus for future tech stack changes
• An eagerness to communicate with the out of office Product Development team
• Supreme attention to detail -- you’re always ten steps ahead
• Strong analytical mind
• A desire to do impactful work every day
• Previous experience working in a startup or similarly fast-paced environment
• A sense of curiosity, a willingness to constantly confront unknowns and acknowledge when you don’t know or aren’t sure
• You have a perpetually optimistic outlook -- when someone says it can’t be done, you ask why

Our Culture:

Adia is a gig economy marketplace for businesses and flexible workers in the hospitality, events, warehousing, and retail sectors. Leveraging technology, Adia makes it easier for businesses to find vetted hourly workers on demand, and gives workers a way to book unlimited jobs in one tap. Unlike other gig platforms, we hire our workers to Adia as W-2. That means they get to keep their flexible schedule, and still get taxes withheld, benefits, PTO, and weekly pay. Founded in 2016, we have a short company history but one that spreads across Switzerland, UK, Germany, and now the US.

Adia is a fast-growing, hardworking, curious (like, Alice in Wonderland curious) organization that strives for improvement every day. We are open, honest, and motivated, using our big brains to build a great product and not overgrown egos. We’re an early player in the HR tech space, which brings excitement and purpose to our work. If you’re looking for a place that will help you uncover your best working self and give you hands-on experience in way more than your job title alludes to, we may be the right team for you. We push ourselves and pull each other to be better than we were yesterday.

We have an incredible future ahead of us, and we’d love for you to be a part of our journey toward it.
