As Product Managers, we are responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle - from discovery to feature definition and prioritization, product messaging, go-to-market strategies. We are also responsible to make appropriate tradeoffs to optimize time-to-market and technical and business outcomes, communicating goals and KPIs, and desired outcomes. You have a proven track record of product management, experience driving strategy, and influencing executive leadership. The ideal candidate is a self-starter, approaches complex business questions with data and curiosity, and loves to dive below the surface to identify the root cause and help drive a path forward.

• Understand our customers, our products, and our competitors to identify needs & opportunities to advance our product and innovation.
• Lead your product team to design, build, and launch elegant features that solve customer problems.
• Own the end to end customer experience and be a constant bar raiser for improving and delivering excellent product solutions. 
• Define clear product metrics and set ambitious targets for your team.
• Closely collaborate with our Marketing, Sales, and Customer Experience teams to understand their needs and to ensure that your roadmap is addressing customer needs. 

What we're looking for: (Job Requirements/Must have) 

• 5+ years experience in a Product Manager role at SaaS companies
• Demonstrated ability to define a user-centric long-term strategy supported by clear tactics and milestones
• Strong UX/UI sensibility  - a keen sense of design and bar for high quality UX and the impact it can have on customer outcomes. 
• Strong prioritization and organizational skills. Excited by the idea of managing multiple responsibilities at once and ruthlessly prioritizing the highest impact work
• An empathetic and attentive listener; someone who is committed to understanding and anticipating the needs of our customers and key stakeholders
• A proactive, self-starter; someone who can roll up their sleeves and solve problems on their own initiative.
• A data driven product manager who understands the right questions to ask and figures a path to get objective data to understand and inform the decisions we make.

Bonus Points:

• Work in a DTC (Direct to Consumer) experience or marketplace solutions would be a bonus - but not required.
