  • You have experience thinking about or creating systems for other teams to adopt or build into
  • You have worked in a complex product area using analytical problem-solving skills to make decisions
  • You have demonstrated success in conceptualizing, developing, launching, and scaling platform-backed products within a fast-paced environment
  • You have a business, technical or design background, a highly collaborative mindset, and direct experience implementing best-in-class solutions with design and engineering counterparts
  • You have strong analytical and quantitative skills, with the ability to leverage data and metrics to support assumptions, formulate business cases, and establish OKRs

  • You have a strong sense of accountability and ownership; ability to work collaboratively in a result-oriented way
