Your passion will be to discover, develop and ship products and features that deliver both meaningful benefits to our users and strategic business growth success for our company.

Day-to-day, you’ll succeed by learning which solutions are simultaneously impactful, usable, valuable, and feasible, through product discovery, clear prioritization of effort and collaborative design thinking. You’ll lead, coach and motivate a dedicated, cross-functional Agile team by communicating your vision, authoring user stories, optimizing team welfare and experience, actively prioritizing the backlog, and coordinating regularly and clearly with partners, external vendors and stakeholders.
