Startup Manager

A startup manager keeps a young company running while it figures out what customers want. You rarely have one fixed job description. In a given week you might set priorities with the founders, hire and coach team members, fix a broken process, talk with customers, track budgets, and decide what not to do. Because resources are limited, you jump between operations, product, sales, and people issues, and you use simple data to check whether the team is moving in the right direction.
