I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
This is a cool role, that seldom comes up in New Zealand.
We want a Product Manager for our ‘mission critical small to medium business application using Web 2.0 technology’.
Ken Norton does a good summary of How to hire a product manager that covers off some of our criteria.
Key responsibilities of Product Management are:
- Owning the feature set of the product
- Channelling customer requirements into a release schedule
- Maintaining competitive analysis
- Bringing products to launch (Real Artists Ship)
We suspect that there are few people in NZ that actually have Product Management experience so you might come from a Business Analysis background. We’re happy to develop someone into this exciting and key role.

Hi Rod,
You still looking for someone in this role?
