Job Details

What will you do?

  • We'll need you to identify new problems and opportunities, and work across the company to create scalable solutions.
  • You'll lean on your leadership and collaboration skills as you work closely with engineering, data, and UX teams to create compelling technical patterns, design systems, and shared features.
  • You'll define and guide long term product strategy, identify merchant problems and turn those insights into products that delight merchants and their buyers.
  • You'll define success metrics for your product area, and drive alignment for all product efforts to those measures.
  • You'll drive ‘build, partner, or acquire' decisions for your product area.
  • You'll motivate and influence key stakeholders, drive buy-in for your ideas, and tell exceptional stories around why and what we should build.


Qualifications

What do you bring?

  • People management experience:You've been responsible for performance management, have navigated tough conversations with direct reports, and you feel comfortable supporting Product Managers to achieve their career goals.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset:You must be comfortable rolling up your sleeves, thriving in ambiguity, and getting the work done.
  • Experience owning and driving the building and shipping of complex, SaaS products at scale.
  • A love of storytelling.
  • A genuine excitement for solving merchant problems and a strong sense of empathy for the merchant and their buyers.

Nice to have:

  • The ability to distill technical concepts to business users and vice versa.
  • Previous experience as a software developer or hands-on knowledge of how to code.
