Negar Amiri
Product Manager and Marketing Specialist
Vancouver
As a marketing graduate, I embarked on my career with a dream job on the Membership Team at Tourism Vancouver. After a year, I decided now was the time to fulfil my dream of moving to London, UK.
I started working as a Marketing Executive at the British Dental Association focussed on email marketing, retention and internal communications. I worked on exciting projects like revamping our whole email strategy and developing an internal communications strategy.
Once we got the foundations set, I was promoted to Marketing Manager. In addition to developing the marketing strategy for all of our events, products and services, I managed, trained and coached a dream team of five.
I moved back to Vancouver in November 2018 and re-trained as a web developer at Lighthouse Labs. As a marketing professional, I often found myself frustrated when I couldn't make small web changes or use SQL to analyze our data. Web development allowed me to gain a better understanding of how web apps work and how I can use it better to communicate with customers.
After working in web development for 2.5 months, we noticed a need for a product manager. I took on this role to better understand our customers and plan features to be built on the platform.
As a newly Certified Scrum Product Owner, I'm seeking opportunities in Product Management to help Vancouver companies add value to customers' lives.
