Skills

Required

  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience, with the majority of that as an Engineer and at least 2 of those as a Product Manager.
  • 5+ years of experience hiring, building, scaling and managing product management teams in high growth companies.
  • Led transformations of productivity for larger engineering teams using AI to accelerate time to impact.
  • Experience using and improving the tools and processes used by Engineers to build the services and features our customers use.
  • Significant experience working with Engineering and Data Science.
  • Be able to understand the breadth of our product line as well as get technical and be able to drill into details on owned areas.

  • Be highly data driven, knowing how to get, understand, and use data to make the best possible decisions.
  • Drive execution with a cross-functional team, ensuring that everyone is working towards the same goals and impact.

Nice to have

  • Thrive in the dynamic environment that comes with being part of an innovative startup from its early days. That means flexibility as well as dealing with ambiguity.
  • Move quickly and constantly iterate, moving from hypotheses developed from customer conversations, data and insights to running tests to confirm those hypotheses, to learnings and iteration towards a solution that customers didn’t even realize they wanted but now can’t live without.
  • Operate and think of both the customer experience layer and deeper in the technology stack. Know whether the limitations of the current systems and tools are reasonable or if we should rebuild to enable new capabilities.
