• Define and track appropriate metrics to measure product success in collaboration with S&P
• Understand and be able to communicate about technical and architectural decisions as they relate to adjacent systems and infrastructure
• Keep your skills up to date by attending professional development events and learning about best practices in product management

What You'll Need:

• A bachelor’s degree or higher
• 1-3 years experience in Product Management-related role, preferably at a technology company (prior experience in a finance-related industry or in a desktop platforms is a plus)
• Demonstrated experience leading complicated cross-functional projects with stakeholders across different levels and teams, including design, engineering, marketing, sales, and analytics
• Comfortable navigating two distinct organizations, inspiring a shared vision and building consensus among groups with different perspectives and incentives

• Enthusiasm for thriving in a highly collaborative hybrid work environment
• Solid organizational skills, with great attention to detail and efficient context-switching
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills

What Really Gets Our Attention:

• Experience executing against strategic priorities by delivering solutions in collaboration with development teams 
• A story with a happy ending about asking for forgiveness instead of permission
• Project management experience, especially familiarity with Jira
• Passion for AI/ML-related work
