About the Role: The company is looking for a Senior Product Manager to help lead our products into the future.

We encourage you to apply if you enjoy navigating ambiguous business challenges, understanding market dynamics, negotiating with business and engineering stakeholders to drive desirable outcomes, conducting customer research, collaborating with designers, digging into the details and gathering requirements, testing and learning, and conducting rigorous financial and performance analysis on opportunities.

• Work with design professionals to build compelling, measurable user experiences that can be analyzed and optimized with the data they produce.
• Consult with partners and vendors on how our products can be used to accomplish goals. In cases where a solution would require development, this includes coaching partners and vendors toward options that create generalizable, sustainable value for a broad set of related, common applications.
• Collaborate effectively in cross-functional product teams, facilitating positive energy / engagement and helping elevate the capability of others.
• Directly manage more junior product managers; indirectly manage business, design, and engineering stakeholders.
