Product Specialist @ Hnry
Wellington, New Zealand
Permanent, full time
Hnry takes the hassle out of being a self-employed individual by taking care of all the financial admin - everything from Invoicing and Payments through to Expenses and Taxes. We're taking a traditionally labour-intensive and stressful set of tasks, and automating them wherever we can, delivering great experiences and online tools for our users, and making their lives easier.
Reporting directly into a Product Manager, the Product Specialist is a key part of our cross-functional delivery squads, working with stakeholders, engineers and designers to deliver measurable contributions towards Hnry’s business outcomes, both via our external customer-facing app and within internal-facing systems.
Responsibilities:
Being the internal SME for one or many areas of the Hnry service, understanding at a deep level the 'why' of these areas, and being the go-to person for that specialist knowledge
Collaborating with others to maintain and manage the backlog of potential changes/improvements in those areas, working with key stakeholders from around the business to facilitate prioritisation decisions, championing those improvements that contribute towards key strategic business outcomes
Working within a delivery squad (our highly collaborative, cross-functional teams made up of engineers and internal customer representatives), to plan and incrementally deliver those changes, making measurable contributions towards one or many business outcomes
Monitoring and measuring the internal and external customer impacts of those changes and measuring the effectiveness of changes over time
Contributing to right-sized documentation for areas of the Hnry service, documenting your knowledge, key decisions, dependencies and target outcomes, without resorting to writing narrative essays or unnecessarily complex documents/presentations
Continually analysing data, trends and wider business insights, to help drive better decision-making and inform prioritisation decisions
Following our internal best-practices to build, measure and learn at pace - championing the release of new change incrementally, focusing on delivering the 'smallest increment of measurable value'
Regularly engaging with internal and external users to understand their priorities, their experiences, and feeding that insight back into the squad and the wider business
Collaborating with our internal Marketing team when new externally-facing changes are brought to market
Working closely with our Product Designers to deliver great experiences, both online and offline, for Hnry customers
