🏢 About HowGood

HowGood is a mission-driven SaaS company that provides comprehensive sustainability insights, enabling businesses to make informed environmental and social impact decisions. Working here means contributing to a greener future while building cutting-edge product growth strategies in a remote-first culture.

About This Role

As a Product Manager for Growth, you'll own the full funnel—from acquisition to retention—driving volume and velocity through relentless experimentation. Your work directly impacts HowGood's ability to scale its sustainability platform, making sustainable choices accessible to more businesses.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day starts with a standup with engineers and the growth marketer to review experiment results and prioritize new tests. Mid-morning, you dive into SQL to analyze funnel drop-offs, then meet with customer success to hear user feedback. Afternoon is for writing experiment specs, reviewing a product change's impact, and presenting a growth roadmap update to stakeholders.

🎯 Who HowGood Is Looking For

  • A data-driven PM with 5–8 years in B2B SaaS growth, who can demonstrate moving a specific funnel metric (e.g., activation rate) and explain the exact experiments used.
  • Comfortable in SQL and experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, cohort analysis) and able to challenge flawed analyses with clear reasoning.
  • A cross-functional collaborator who partners seamlessly with engineers and growth marketers to run rapid, iterative tests.
  • Empathetic communicator who translates user signals into product improvements and can articulate prioritization trade-offs clearly.

📝 Tips for Applying to HowGood

1

In your resume, include a 'Funnel Impact' section with a concrete example: e.g., 'Increased trial-to-paid conversion by 20% through a 3-step onboarding experiment.'

2

Prepare a 1-page case study of a growth experiment you owned—hypothesis, metrics, results, and key learnings—to attach or reference in your cover letter.

3

Tailor your application to sustainability: mention any personal or professional interest in environmental impact, as HowGood's mission is core.

4

Use specific metrics in your resume (e.g., 'lifted activation from 30% to 45%') rather than vague statements like 'improved growth'.

5

Highlight remote collaboration experience (async communication, tools like Slack/Notion) since the role is remote.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Emphasize your hands-on experience with growth funnels in B2B SaaS, citing a specific metric you moved.', 'Show your experimentation mindset: describe how you prioritize tests, balance speed vs. rigor, and decide to kill an experiment.', "Connect your personal values to HowGood's mission—explain why sustainability matters to you and how your work can amplify impact.", 'Demonstrate cross-functional leadership without authority, especially with engineering and marketing teams.']

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • → Read HowGood's blog and case studies to understand their sustainability data and typical customer pain points.
  • → Explore their product demo or free trial to experience the user journey firsthand and identify growth opportunities.
  • → Research their competitors (e.g., EcoVadis, Sustainalytics) to understand HowGood's unique value proposition.
  • → Look at their LinkedIn page and recent news to see company culture, team size, and any growth milestones.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk me through a funnel you improved: what was the metric, how did you diagnose the issue, and what experiments did you run?
2 How do you decide which experiments to run vs. kill? Describe a time you stopped an experiment early.
3 Tell me about a time you used qualitative research (user interviews, surveys) to inform a growth experiment.
4 How would you approach improving activation for HowGood's SaaS platform? What metrics would you track?
5 Describe a situation where you had to push back on a flawed analysis from a stakeholder. How did you handle it?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't be generic: avoid saying 'I love growth' without citing specific metrics or experiments you owned.
  • Don't ignore the mission: failing to mention sustainability or showing disinterest in environmental impact can hurt your chances.
  • Don't overpromise: avoid claiming you can 'double growth' without data—be realistic about what you've achieved.
