Full description
The role
We're hiring a Staff Product Manager to own major product areas end to end. You'll work directly with the Head of Product and founders, find and shape the opportunities that move the business, and drive them from hypothesis to launch to scale. We're looking for a generalist: someone who operates at the intersection of strategy, data, and engineering, and is comfortable in ambiguity, because at this stage the problems rarely arrive well-defined.
Who you are
- Strategic. You find opportunities others miss. You're a systems thinker: you can take a messy pile of use cases and distill them into one simple, elegant solution, then build the case for why it wins.
- Analytical. You're comfortable in the grey. You can take raw, messy data (qualitative or quantitative) and pull out the actual problem, the real insight, the requirement that matters. You write your own queries and change your mind when the numbers tell you to.
- AI-forward and adaptable. You use modern AI tools as a core part of how you work, stay current on how the practice of product management is changing, and adapt fast when better methods emerge.
- Technically strong. You're a real technical partner to engineering. You can talk architecture and tradeoffs, work hand-in-hand to turn a logical design into a real technical architecture, and you're hungry to learn what you don't know yet so you can make better calls.
- A strong executor. You get things done. You've owned a product (or a big chunk of one) and know how to lead complex, cross-functional projects without losing momentum. You have a bias to ship: the fastest way to know if something works is to put it in front of users, so you ship, learn, and iterate.
- Entrepreneurial. You've been a founder or early employee at a high-growth startup. Failed companies count; we care about the reps, not the outcome. You're scrappy and happy to wear different hats: building a business case one day, mapping a workflow the next, negotiating details with a vendor the day after.
- Product taste. Years of shipping products people actually love. You have a strong eye for design and know what good looks like in consumer products.
Across all of it: clear communication. You can take something complicated and make it simple, without losing what matters.
What you'll do
- Own strategy, roadmap, and outcomes for one or more core product areas
- Take 0-to-1 bets from problem discovery through launch, then scale what works
- Run structured experiments: define hypotheses, instrument metrics, make calls based on data
