Overview
Owning a product and its lifecycle start to end. Main objective, aside from ensuring continuity of product, is how to maximise product revenue & profits. This included researching competitors, where we sit in the market compared to them, how to compete against them, and what projects can we invest in to ensure we do well over the next years. There are project management aspects as well, in addition to resource allocation.
Skills
product managing, project managing, presentation, research, budgeting, resource allocation, leadership, how to learn fast.
Responsibilities
Yes, I was given full autonomy, with oversight from my manager just in case things went south.
Support & Guidance
Not too much, my manager's style was more "let him try and figure out how to swim, and if he starts drowning, I'll save him".
Culture
Very friendly, approachable, and respectful. People wanted you to be well and do a good job.
Your Impressions
Loved it greatly. While remote work and me not being in London did reduce my socialising options, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and with the people I did meet, create strong bonds.
Yes
Read up on Vodafone's Spirit Values, they take them very seriously!
