It is a space with a great deal of opportunity to lead greenfield product strategy balanced by the need to drive discipline and long-term repeatability.

What you´ll do

You will conduct complex business and technical analysis, prepare strategic documents, define new processes & best practices, and identify and define metrics to measure key performance indicators of the business. The role is hands-on with a heavy individual contribution. You will be a key influencer in the team’s strategy, and you will oversee the team’s planning process.

Who you are

You are ideally already overseeing an ongoing product area of critical value to your business, setting goals, measuring progress, securing engineering commitments, and overseeing delivery through multiple iterations. You are a person who is excited by ambiguity and new product development while yearning to help shape product management practices to reduce this ambiguity over time.

- You are an effective communicator at all levels from engineers to executive leaders.


- You have participated in your team’s planning process and demonstrated the capacity to think strategically above and beyond the tactical responsibilities of quick feature delivery.


- You are able to help define goals for your department and build the metric reports that allow your team to measure progress against these goals.


- You work to define relevance and context for collected metrics, and to identify blind spots in our ability to measure outcomes due to gaps in reporting or collection. Your advice is sought from other teams on best practices and advice on data reporting and business monitoring.
