  • Champion product-led growth by improving onboarding, activation, engagement, intent-based experiences, and conversion.
  • Partner closely with Engineering to ensure clarity in technical planning, platform investments, and long term architecture.
  • Work with GTM leaders to identify growth levers and measure their impact across the funnel.
  • Set standards for experimentation and ensure teams run fast, structured, and reliable tests.
  • Represent product priorities in executive forums and ensure alignment between product direction and company goals.

Qualifications

  • 12 plus years of product management experience including leadership roles managing multiple PMs.
  • Experience owning a full product surface area in a fast moving startup environment.
  • Strong track record leading product teams or working within a multidisciplinary product organization.
  • Experience running product squads and scaling processes that improve collaboration and execution.
  • Comfortable working across marketplace, platform, and growth surfaces.
  • Strong strategic thinking with the ability to dive into details when needed.
  • Experience driving product-led growth and building intent based user experiences.
  • Strong analytical ability. SQL proficiency preferred but not required.
  • Clear communicator who can influence across engineering, design, go to market, and executive teams.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
