Nick Carroll Was Once a Founder — Now He's Building One of Bubble's Most Anticipated Products Yet

Nick Carroll, a product manager at Bubble, has had an unconventional career path, starting as a founder before pivoting into the live music industry and eventually becoming a PM. He joined Bubble after realizing how much time could have been saved if he had used their platform for his initial software project. His first app on Bubble was for his parents' lab to manage mice used in experiments. A typical day as a product manager at Bubble involves both tactical and strategic work, with lots of video calls across the organization. Successful product managers need strong hard skills like prioritization frameworks, user research, and testing techniques, as well as soft skills such as communication and developing a strong product sense. Nick finds working at Bubble rewarding because it enables more people to become entrepreneurs and solve problems. Since joining Bubble, he has developed skills in effective communication with stakeholders and collaborating across different teams. He is excited about meeting more users in person at BubbleCon and sharing major mobile updates.
