How do we work with Product in Airthings?

You will also be the 12th member of our product team in Airthings. We are an international team consisting of Product people, Project people, and Designers responsible for a portfolio of digital and physical products targeting consumers, businesses and professionals. We have a strong dedication towards making products that are sustainable and that impact people and our planet in a positive way, so our team also includes a Sustainability Manager.

Product Management in Airthings is not inscribed in stone. We are all curious and continuously learning how to manage a very diverse product portfolio that includes both hardware and software. We hope you can bring your own ideas on how to manage “product”.

Our main product management tool has been Aha!, but we recently opted for ProductBoard. We are all still new to this tool, so you do not need to worry if you do not have experience with using it - neither have we! Our designers mostly work in Figma, we use Slack for communication (packed with bots and integrations to keep our finger on the product), Intercom helps us stay in touch with our customers, and we use Beamer to communicate product updates and capture NPS. There are actually more tools we use, but we do not want to bore you with a list of SaaS solutions. This should give you a flavour of how we work.
