About Black Spectacles

Are you a strategic, customer-focused Senior Product Manager who can balance big-picture outcomes with detailed execution and connect decisions directly to measurable business impact?

At Black Spectacles, we’re proud to be the leader in our space — with the strongest brand, a thriving business, and an incredible opportunity for continued growth. As an entrepreneurial company, we’re ambitious in our plans to support the architecture community, fostering an environment where excellence, innovation, and collaboration thrive.

We believe that success in product management comes from curiosity, collaboration, and a relentless focus on creating value for customers — and at Black Spectacles you’ll find all three.

We’re seeking a Senior Product Manager to work closely with our CEO to shape and execute the roadmap for our SaaS-based online learning platform and eLearning products. You will bring analytical rigor and a thoughtful, straightforward communication style. You listen deeply, anticipate risks, and organize complex problems into clear, actionable steps. You’ll play a key role in turning strategy into action, partnering across teams to deliver products that create measurable impact for customers and drive business growth.

At Black Spectacles, you’ll benefit from :

  • A team that lives and celebrates our values daily.
  • Regular opportunities to see and feel the impact of your work.
  • A fully remote work environment, complemented by semi-annual company trips to build connections.

Black Spectacles has been recognized by Great Place to Work and Built In as a great place to work, by the American Institute of Architects for the national impact we’re having on the profession of architecture, and by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing companies in the country.

Our Ideal Teammate

We’re looking for someone who :

  • Is motivated by contributing to a mission-driven company that supports the architecture and design community.
  • Is analytical and detail-oriented, producing precise, high-quality work while respecting plans, timelines, and standards.
  • Brings creative problem solving while staying grounded in customer insight, financial responsibility, and solid execution.
  • Balances customer needs, business priorities, and product execution with sound judgment.
  • Takes ownership and accountability for outcomes.
  • Encourages calculated risks and shares ideas in a supportive environment.
  • Takes a world-class approach to their work and values collaboration.
  • Lives our values of excellence, innovation, and taking care of our people.
  • Role Overview

    As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll own major areas of our SaaS-based online learning platform and eLearning products. You’ll translate strategic direction into actionable product plans, oversee backlogs, and guide cross-functional execution to deliver high-quality releases. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Learning / Content, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure decisions are grounded in customer insight and business outcomes such as ROI, with clear trade-offs, success metrics, and risk rationale. You help maintain clarity and momentum by organizing priorities, setting steady rhythms, and supporting teams to deliver high-quality products.

    We offer a competitive base salary of $115,000 to $150,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications.

    Responsibilities

    Product Strategy & Roadmap

  • Define and sequence priorities with explicit business cases such as ROI, cost, and time-to-value, and establish a review cadence.
  • Build a consistent discovery rhythm through customer calls, surveys, and experiments, and share insights in a concise and practical way.
  • Develop, prioritize, and maintain the product roadmap in collaboration with stakeholders.
  • Requirements & Documentation

  • Define clear and testable requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria using JIRA and related tools that reflect customer insight and business outcomes.
  • Collaborate with design and engineering to scope features and ensure alignment with customer needs.
  • Execution & Delivery

  • Strengthen structure through launch plans, checklists, and decision logs to support collaboration and predictable delivery.
  • Track leading indicators and post-launch results, communicating lessons learned and next steps.
  • Partner with Engineering to ensure timely, high-quality product releases.
  • Apply the right delivery approach for each initiative, drawing on experience with both Agile and Waterfall methodologies.
  • Collaborate with Marketing and Sales to coordinate product launches, communications, and go-to-market strategies.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Build trust across Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Leadership through clear and factual communication.
  • Ensure alignment on priorities, timelines, and success metrics.
  • Serve as a strong advocate for the customer while balancing business needs.
  • Mentor and coach an early career teammate on discovery, backlog management, and outcome-driven planning.
  • Business & Financial Accountability

  • Favor small, testable experiments before large investments.
  • Present clear trade-offs and expected ROI or payback, and document what will be monitored and when.
  • Proactively surface constraints and mitigation plans.
  • Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 12+ years of professional experience, with 8+ years in product management roles.
  • Proven success managing SaaS-based products, ideally in online learning or related industries.
  • Experience working effectively in both Agile and Waterfall environments.
  • Strong track record of delivering measurable customer and business impact through product innovation.
  • Financial literacy (ROI, unit economics, payback) with a disciplined, results-oriented approach to decision making.
  • Experience leading customer discovery and using insights to guide product decisions.
  • Skilled with product analytics tools (e.g., Mixpanel, Amplitude, GA) to guide decisions and measure outcomes.
  • Effective collaborator who builds trust across Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Content, and Leadership.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills to align stakeholders and drive execution.
  • Experience mentoring or coaching product team members is a plus.
  • Ability to travel quarterly for in-person meetings and company events.
  • Benefits

  • Work From Home : Enjoy the flexibility of working remotely year-round.
  • Comprehensive Benefits : Starting day one, access to BCBS Health, Dental, Vision, Disability, and Life Insurance coverage.
