Shirley Baumer, Director of Product Management at Monday.com
Shirley was the first product manager at Monday.com, back when it was a startup with fewer than 30 people. We explore how the company has changed in six and a half years, discussing everything from how the core work management product was conceptualized and built to the opening of new offices worldwide and a Nasdaq IPO.
Shirley shares how her untraditional background helped her hit the ground running. She was a journalist before working in tech and intuitively knew how to speak with customers and prospects, decipher their problems and summarize their needs. Coupled with her experience in behavioral economics and background as a medical-tech startup founder, we learn that you don't necessarily need to have an MBA or work in tech previously to succeed in product management.
Finally, we get the scoop on how Shirley and Monday.com recruit and hire product managers and tech professionals. She also reveals the common mistakes candidates make in job interviews and what you need to do to stand out.
