LaSalle Network has partnered with an innovative and fast-growing startup company looking to bring a Lead Product Manager onto their team. This is a high-impact opportunity for a strategic, execution-focused leader who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and is ready to help shape the future of a growing product organization.
As Lead Product Manager, you’ll work directly with the CEO and senior leadership to translate vision into actionable strategy, guide product direction, and ensure cross-functional teams are aligned and delivering value. You’ll also mentor and collaborate with another Product Manager who owns specific areas of the platform.
What You’ll Do
-
Lead product strategy and execution: Drive product initiatives from concept to launch, ensuring alignment with business goals and customer needs.
-
Translate vision into action: Refine high-level, creative input into clear, executable product strategies and roadmaps.
-
Own and evolve the roadmap: Define priorities, set timelines, and communicate plans across teams and stakeholders.
-
Guide cross-functional teams: Partner closely with engineering, design, and leadership to manage deliverables and ensure timely execution.
-
Mentor product team members: Provide guidance and support to other Product Managers, fostering collaboration and consistency.
-
Champion the customer: Use research, interviews, and analytics to ensure we’re solving real problems and delivering meaningful value.
-
Measure impact: Define KPIs, track performance, and iterate based on data and feedback.
What We’re Looking For
-
6+ years of product management experience, with demonstrated leadership and ownership of strategic product initiatives.
-
Proven ability to execute in unstructured environments—you know how to move forward even when things are unclear.
-
Strong communication and emotional intelligence—able to navigate high-energy interactions with professionalism and confidence.
-
Comfortable pushing back on “moonshot” ideas and setting realistic timelines.
-
Experience with web, desktop, and/or mobile applications.
-
Familiarity with Agile methodologies (flexibility over rigidity).
-
Strategic thinker with a hands-on approach and a bias toward action.
Bonus Points
-
Experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, or similar.
-
Background in a technical role or hands-on familiarity with software development.
This is a full-time, onsite position based in downtown Chicago. The role offers a base salary of $120,000–$140,000, depending on experience, along with a discretionary annual bonus. Employees receive 13 paid holidays and 2 weeks of PTO. Candidates may be required to sign an NDA prior to submittal.
