As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll join one of our Product Engineering teams, you’ll take ownership of specific parts of your team’s overall roadmap. We are growing fast (yes even now) and at a stage where we want to move fast with high stability. So you’ll have to be comfortable with making progress with incomplete or imperfect information.
Start with fully understanding the issue you are trying to solve by digging into user research, analytics, and whatever else is required. You’ll then work on designing a solution, hopefully, one that can be implemented iteratively, together with your engineering team, designers, and as-needed stakeholders from across the company. You’ll work with your team to prioritize it and you’ll ensure that it gets built to spec and shipped. You’ll measure the impact and, assuming it was something user-facing, ensure that our users love it.
The ability to figure out what needs to get built and executed. You probably have a few years of professional product management experience in a high-growth, data-intensive environment. You may have shipped mobile features before.
Passion for conducting user research. And an eye for good design. You know when small and qualitative research is ideal and when large n quantitative is best. You can’t wait to get out into the field with our market launchers and then collaborate with designers to craft effective, delightful user experiences.
Clear communication skills. You’ll be making complex tradeoffs about what’s best for our users and our business thoughtfully and collaboratively.
Data-savviness coupled with an inquisitive and investigative nature. You have a technical background and a broad set of analytics skills. You are driven by curiosity and are not afraid to learn or use new tools, write SQL, dig through tickets in Zendesk, fire up a Jupyter notebook, dig into some python code, or do whatever else it takes for you to frame questions and get data quickly so you and your teams can better understand a problem and prioritize solutions
Desire to get your hands dirty- we have over half a million MAU but are a startup at heart. You are willing, nay excited, to roll up your sleeves and do whatever needs to be done. Sometimes this means writing SQL, other times it may mean drafting up a copy or a mock (don't worry, you'll be able to request help to polish it up)
Willingness to travel. When in doubt, we get on a plane. Visit our growth team in the field, join co-working sessions with fellow colleagues around the world and meet users where they are (But we also respect vacation time and outside commitments — your time is important.)
A degree (or equivalent experience) in a quantitative or technical field such as statistics, economics, electrical engineering, or computer science.
An understanding of iOS and Android design principles and best practices.
An aspiration to lead and develop true product teams, not feature teams.
Creativity, flexibility, and the ability to handle ambiguity gracefully.
An open mind with respect to diversity and inclusivity. Our team (and customers) come from all over the world.
