  • Continuously drive innovation to create solutions that help our users better understand the value of our product
  • Clearly articulate your strategic vision for the product
  • Partner with multidisciplinary teams to track and manage projects timely and effectively
  • Take an entrepreneurial approach to problem solving
  • Juggle multiple priorities and make things happen in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

  • A strong bias toward action and can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development
  • Excellent influencing skills and a proven collaborator; ability to work successfully with both direct and indirect teams across the organization
