You're sitting at your desk, staring in white-knuckled anticipation at your computer screen. You're tense, but you know you've crossed the t’s and dotted the i’s. Today's product launch, which you were responsible for, is now in the hands of millions of small business owners around the world. TechCrunch just published an article praising your project’s potential. The CEO and your manager just walked over to your desk clutching two big bottles of champagne. All of your research, design, testing, and collaboration has paid off. This is the moment all Product Managers live for: the launch. Even better, the launch of something you really believe in, that has the potential to transform the lives of small business owners all over the world.
At FreshBooks you’ll experience this thrill often, working alongside a group of world-class Developers, Designers, and Product Managers: the Product Development team.
The Product Development team at FreshBooks is responsible for defining and delivering new ways to help small businesses focus on what they love to do. We take the headache away from bookkeeping and accounting and replace it with a fun, intuitive set of tools that just make sense to small business owners.
You are probably already gainfully employed elsewhere right now, or have recently departed a world-class organization in search of a better way.
