Within a year of joining as an APM, you’ll be expected to grow into a Product Manager role where you’ll lead a dedicated product team, define the team’s strategies and roadmap, and help the team execute well. Your time as an APM will follow two main to help you get there:

Months 0 - 6 | Product Execution

  • This period is all about getting to know Current and helping your team execute smoothly. You’ll find yourself:
  • Learning the details of Current. You’ll spend your first few weeks working on various teams at Current and understanding our culture, product strategy, and processes. Then, you’ll eventually settle on a single team for the duration of your APM program.
  • Gathering and sharing product requirements. You’ll work with your PM to review Product Briefs, break them down into User Stories, and share with the Engineers on your team.
  • Preparing and helping run sprints. Current builds software in 2-week sprints. You’ll work with your Engineers to estimate and update your User Stories, break them down, and group them into achievable workloads for 2 weeks. You’ll work closely with your team’s Engineers to find and resolve issues quickly to ensure a smooth release.

Months 6 - 12 | Customer Insight and Experimentation

  • Once your team is running smoothly, your responsibility will grow. You’ll begin spending more time on understanding our customers’ needs, measuring product performance, and evaluating the impact of your team’s work. You’ll find yourself:
  • Conducting user surveys and interviews. You’ll work with your PM to design and conduct surveys and interviews. You’ll understand how customers engage with Current and use this information to inform product decisions.
  • Designing and running product experiments. You’ll familiarize yourself with the science of A/B testing and will learn to use our data tools. This will allow you to design and run experiments to measure the impact of your team’s initiatives.
  • Guiding your team’s strategy, priorities and roadmap. You’ll use your newfound customer insight to have input on your team’s strategy, priorities, and longer term roadmap, which you’ll communicate to your team.

Months 12+ | Graduation

Once you ‘graduate’ from the program, you’ll become a full-fledged Product Manager at Current. Your responsibility will continue to grow and change throughout your time here!

The Associate Product Manager role is a full-time contract position with the intention of converting you into a full-time (W2) employee as a Product Manager by the end of the program. This position is a remote position and would follow the timezone of our company headquarters (Chicago, CST, GMT-6).
