Hello!
Thanks for checking out our job posting for the role of Product Manager at PerchPeek. You’ve already taken a tiny step towards being a part of our team – huzzah!
We know that taking your next career step is as exciting as it can be scary. So, with that in mind, we’ve tried to keep our description simple and bull***t free to help you decide if PerchPeek and this role are a good match for you. We’ve tried to avoid using too many clichés but sometimes they sum it up nicely, so you’ll just have to wince and forgive us.
Who is PerchPeek?
Have you ever relocated before? Did you manage to do it worry and stress free (no eye rolling or swearing!)? Or if you haven’t ever relocated, how do you feel about the prospect of figuring it all out on your own? Finding a new home, sorting out shipping your stuff, organizing utilities and bank accounts etc… The list of things to think about goes on and on. No matter where in the world you go, relocating is a crappy process that’s always time intensive and stressful. PerchPeek was conceived to change that.
PerchPeek’s aim is to guide people through every stage of their relocation. Our product is a delightful combination of content, tech, customer success & partnerships which work together to make moving simpler, faster, more secure and even enjoyable.
We’re at the forefront of changes to the workplace as knowledge workers have greater freedom to relocate than ever before. However, 95% of the people relocating around the world (c. 80 million annually) currently receive no (effective) support when moving and we are building a product to support this blue ocean of unsupported people. Over the past 18 months we’ve grown incredibly quickly, launching in 30+ countries, growing from 6 to 100+ people and raised both our Seed and Series A rounds from top US and European VC funds – Albion VC, Episode 1 and Stage 2 Capital. (Normal startup protocol would dictate that we put a rocket emoji in at this point, but we promised minimal cliches so… 🎈🎈).
What will you be responsible for as a Product Manager?
- Product backlog – you’ll be in charge of creating product initiatives, iterating and delivering digital products in line with our product and company vision
- Product collaboration – you’ll be responsible for ensuring that your team gathers sufficient insight both internally (Ops, Content, Tech, Partnerships) & externally (customers, clients) to feed into the product backlog development
- Product discovery – you’ll be in charge of working with relocators, relocation coaches and sales to understand which problems to solve next
- Solving problems – you’ll be in charge of building the platform that’s currently helping thousands of people relocate and will be helping hundreds of thousands over the next few years. You’ll be an advocate for relocators and ensure a strong focus on solving their pain points
- Stakeholder management – you’ll be in charge of communicating with stakeholders across the whole organization
Key Requirements
- Solid understanding of product development process and methodologies
- Technical literacy – so you can work effectively with the engineering team
- 3 years+ as a Product Manager or Product Owner, ideally at Start-ups/Scale-ups

- Data literacy – you are expected to make decisions based on data and insights and communicate your product development outcomes in a quantitative manner
- Energetic and enthusiastic – if that’s not your personality, you won’t be able to keep up with the fast paced environment of PerchPeek!
