You Have Cultural fit: High ownership and throughput: We are in hypergrowth and are looking for multipliers. Comfortable with driving clarity in chaos: You have a track record of developing clear perspectives in workstreams with no clear answers. You take a strategic, first principles approach to figuring out the next step. Team culture: You drive a high-velocity team while intentionally building a strong, positive culture, not at its expense. Product craft: Strong design sense: You'll hold a high bar for customer experience while redesigning major parts of our app. You can share clear examples of having done this in the past. Strong analytical abilities: Ideally, you've worked on ML products in the past and use data to make strategic decisions. Strong communication skills: In order to be successful, you will need to communicate complex concepts succinctly for broad audiences to drive decisions. Past experience: Proven track record of building and shipping medium - large consumer facing product changes.
