About ShortPoint
ShortPoint is a design software company that helps teams build beautiful intranet sites inside Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams. We are a remote-first, globally distributed team certified as a Great Place to Work and ranked #4 out of 15 Best Workplaces in Technology in the GCC, with regional offices in Dubai, Lviv, Ann Arbor, and London. We believe teamwork makes the dream work, and we keep our teams in sync and winning at scale. We are looking for a meticulous, proactive, and technically grounded Technical Product Manager to join our product team and work directly with our Product Director to keep our product engine running with precision and a great eye for design.
Role Overview
We are seeking a hands-on Technical Product Manager to support the Product Director across the full product lifecycle. You will run and manage product meetings, turn ideas and discussions into clear, well-written user stories, create mockups with the help of modern AI tools, and keep everyone informed on the status of upcoming releases.
The ideal candidate combines strong product craft with genuine design sensibility and a solid technical foundation: you can follow engineering discussions with ease, reason about APIs and architecture, and dig into technical details when the situation calls for it. The stronger your technical depth, the better. You will bridge the gap between engineering, UI/UX design, and business priorities, and you should be comfortable working AI-first across your daily workflow.
Key Responsibilities
Product Execution: Assist with the day-to-day product cadence alongside the Product Director, from meeting management and follow-ups through backlog grooming, story writing, and release tracking
Story Writing: Write detailed, unambiguous user stories and acceptance criteria in Linear, and keep the backlog organized and sprint-ready
Release Communication: Track release progress across engineering and QA, and proactively inform stakeholders of status, risks, and timelines
AI-Assisted Design: Create wireframes and mockups using AI design and prototyping tools, and apply a strong eye for UI/UX to keep the product intuitive and polished (you will be asked to demonstrate this in the interview)
AI Process Improvement: Being able to contribute to our processes by utilizing AI (Claude/ChatGPT work) to analyze data, close gaps, and resolve bottlenecks.
Requirements

ā ļø Mandatory Screening Criteria: Candidates who do not meet the experience and background requirements below will not be considered.
