About YOU

You love to understand how products work, how customers engage with them, and how you can improve them to align with purpose, customer need, and business objectives. As someone who has worked on products big and small, you carry both micro and macro capabilities. You are extremely organized with attention to detail and you can also zoom out and understand the big picture at 30,000 ft. You figure out the right questions to ask for the best solutions. 

You are a senior product leader who loves to roll up their sleeves, tackling challenges big and small. A big thinker who is also a team player and can jump in and help out wherever and whenever needed. You believe in asking questions and listening intently, while also being decisive and vocal.

You are excited to grow a product, and to grow your career alongside it!

We are all working remotely for the foreseeable future, so it’s important that you are proactive and consistent with your internal and external communication.

You’re a team player, and we’re looking forward to building a team environment in which we care for each other’s psychological safety, have our voices heard, and shift each others’ perspectives. This is a full-time position reporting directly to the CEO.
