Job Title: Head of Business Product
Location: Remote, preference for someone who can work with some overlap on GMT +8 time zone.
About Magic:
Magic’s task is to use software to tame a staggering world of complexity. Our users can put in any request or command, no matter how complex, using natural language. Our software manages each request from the moment it enters our system until it is fully complete. This includes back-end infrastructure to handle SMS messages, natural language processing and machine learning, intelligent internal tooling for our agents, and innovative layers of abstraction over the diverse complexity of the world. https://getmagic.com/
The Role:
Magic has built a successful, profitable personal virtual assistance service. It is currently a product that caters to busy professionals who are experienced with personal/virtual assistants and know how to delegate. This time-saving tool has caught the interest of the business community and due to the organic demand that has been building for a business-focused product, Magic is developing a new B2B product to meet this demand. Our new Head of Business Product will own the formation and direction of our new B2B product, having the autonomy to research the product direction, build out the roadmap and to begin building sales relationships with the SMB market. In order to do this, extensive research on interfaces, integrations, user testing and business use will need to be implemented in order to bring this product to market successfully. This role will report directly to the CEO, Mike Chen.
What’s in it for me?
You will have the opportunity to come in at an early stage to own the Product Management of a tool that is already used by thousands of people on a daily basis and will soon be utilized by businesses across the US. You will have the opportunity to build a ‘startup in a startup’ and to see your ideas realized into a product that impacts millions by saving them what matters most: their time. You will be our first dedicated product hire and have a tremendous opportunity to shape the future of Magic and grow in your role.
