- Serve as a key leader driving our product management roadmap and delivery, and will ensure the ongoing health and quality of our support and platform products.
Your Professional Profile

- 5+ years of management experience leading the full spectrum of a design organization
- A portfolio that demonstrates strong experience designing for desktop, mobile and application interfaces
- Proven experience as a data-centric leader, able to dive deep into the product performance metrics to identify fact patterns and derive action, while also seeking deep insight through user research measures to understand quantitative patterns.
- You can confidently build sound arguments and business cases for investments, while always preserving a bias to action given constraints (time, resources, data) in order to achieve business outcomes and solve user needs.
- Committed to growing and developing your own team; you’ve successfully led multi-level teams and have coached your direct reports to be supportive, successful managers of their own teams.
- Experience leading user engagement for a high-traffic product with millions of users.
