About the Team
AI has made it possible to build almost anything. The constraint on great software is no longer engineering capacity, its judgment about what’s actually worth building. Product Managers at Mixpanel build products that help customers answer that question, and they dig deep into customer problems to answer it themselves.
Mixpanel’s Product Managers operate with high ownership and trust. As a team, we focus on helping every builder, not just the ones with a statistics background, get real answers out of messy product data and make the judgment calls that separate delightful products from bloated ones.
We’re also our own best customer. The team uses Mixpanel every day to build Mixpanel: testing our own product intuitions against our own data and catching what works and what doesn’t before our users ever see it.
About the Role
As a Director of Product Management for Core Product, you’ll lead a mid-sized team of Product Managers who are responsible for the key revenue-driving surface areas at Mixpanel.. You’ll own strategy for this group while developing the people and practices that help the whole team do their best work. You’ll partner closely with product leadership to set direction, raise the bar on product craft, and create leverage across the org.

- Stay close to the market and competitive landscape to inform where Mixpanel should invest next
- Partner with product leadership to shape the product function at Mixpanel: what it’s responsible for, how it works with other teams, and how it scales over time
- Help hire and build a high-performing product team
