Product Team Overview 

We are looking for full-time Masters or MBA students (1-3 years of experience) to join our Product Management team at ServiceNow. As a Product Manager, you will work on complex high-tech problems by undertaking research, designing, and executing analysis, and helping frame and structure complex problems.

This is an excellent opportunity if you are looking to get a taste of product management at a high-growth enterprise software company!      

Product Management is a team sport at ServiceNow. We have a unique organization structure in which multiple Product Management roles work together to contribute to a product’s success.   
  
We have two types of Product Managers within our teams: Inbound and Outbound  

Inbound Product Managers plan for and develop new products and future releases of a product. They gather feedback to determine the problems we're trying to solve, then generate a product roadmap. They work with various teams such as release management, design, and engineering development.

Outbound Product Managers enable Go-To-Market teams on product innovation and evangelize the product with customers and partners. Considered the product experts, they generally serve as the bridge between the inbound PM and the product marketing team to ensure the product gets to our customers.   

A few key responsibilities of Outbound PMs include:   

• Enable our go to market partners  
• Define pricing & packaging (in collaboration with our pricing team)

• Understand product strategy that sets us up for success as we look to grow to $15B+ in revenue. 
• Research and collect product requirements from key buyer audiences and end-users to determine areas of opportunity for product enhancements. 
• Oversee the product or project timeline, deadlines, milestones as it is being built by development/engineering and communicate with stakeholders to keep them updated.  
• Contribute to the complete product lifecycle, from researching market needs and competition, analyzing customer data, writing product requirements, and delivering product features to market. 
• Understand the technical and business impacts of product decisions that inform tradeoff decisions to optimize against product delivery and customer value.
