I really dislike combining the notions of project and product management as if they are synonymous. It's like saying a developer and a designer are the same thing. That's wrong.
The skills sets, discipline, and day in and day out activities are outrageously different. I get combining the 2 roles into one category for organization purposes, but the description/answer to the inquiring page title doesn't even use the word "project" in it.
Could some project managers do product management and vice versa? Sure. I've even done some of both at the same time, despite it being somewhat of a split-brained job. Do some companies just muddy/confuse the terminology? Sure, but that doesn't mean it should be allowed to perpetuate further and confuse others even more.
I applied for one of these positions a few weeks ago. I got a generic "we'll let you know after we look at your stuff!" email in response, then nothing.
So the site looks nice, love the videos and whatnot, but more transparency after submitting your info would be nice.
I also see that the job I applied for is months old, so maybe it's not actually open.
We're doubling (to 4) our Product team at Livefyre, and seeking Technical Product Managers for our embeddable webapps. Your work at YouTube seems relevant. :)
livefyre.com: on Ubuntu Chrome, the css (site_media/css/style_v5.css) fail to load, together with many .js files; as a result, the site looks like this:
(This doesn't happen on Ubuntu/Firefox, nor on Windows/Chrome.) It's strange; in the Network pane of Dev tools, the request show up as "failed"; but if I do
Yes - we've built out pages for careers in Sales, Social Media, Editorial, Marketing & PR, and Bus Dev so far, and a few more (esp Engineering) are in the works.
You can find them all by going to the blue bar on the top that says "Choose a Career Path to Explore" and selecting one from the drop-down menu
