About the Role

As a Staff PM, you’ll have the opportunity to drive our team's long-term strategy in how we build Product Tools to increase the velocity of the product, design, engineering, analytics, and marketing teams.

This is a rare opportunity to develop world-class tools that impact our hundreds of millions of users on a daily basis.

We are constantly increasing the speed at which the company operates by unlocking growth potential through our work on improving our world-class CRM, experimentation, and design system platform to drive meaningful business impact.

• Work to better understand internal consumer user problems and opportunities to help build out better tools and features.
• Align the needs and priorities of features requested from teams to ensure proper vision and deliverability of the team given the resources available.

• An Innovator: You can abstract insights from qualitative and quantitative insights and make tough trade-offs to launch a successful MVP, and set the teams up for quick, data-driven iterations. 
• The voice of the customer: You understand consumer behavior, user experience design, user research methods, and consumer product fundamentals and frameworks. 
• The strategist: You know what other companies are doing in the market to help promote their product through their owned channels as well as other 3rd party tools available, and how and when to incorporate new channels & trends into what the team is working on. 
• A Storyteller: You connect your team's work back to objectives that the Executive team prioritizes. 
• Results-Oriented: Drive results from your teams' roadmaps that deliver value for our members and business.
