About You

We are looking for a strong product leader who can drive strategy, prioritization, and product delivery. If you are passionate about building intuitive solutions to complex problems and have a desire to impact how ownership is managed and distributed around the world, we’d love to talk with you.

• You have 7+ years experience in product management in a high-paced, agile software development environment, with a proven track record of shipping impactful products.
• You have several years of experience in building products at startups in cross-functional teams with product designers, engineers, and business partners.
• You are empathic and driven by solving problems for your users. You have the ability to dig deep into their problems and really understand what drives them.
• You are a systems thinker and solve problems in a holistic way. You draw data flow diagrams in your sleep and complexity makes you salivate.
• You traverse between altitudes with ease. You can think big picture on product strategy in one moment and then get in the trenches to solve a calculation definition issue in the next.
• You are resourceful and scrappy in the right ways. You know when to invest versus stand-up fake doors to validate a hypothesis. You understand that sometimes the best path forward may not be through building software.
