  • Proactively build partnerships with different teams across a number of internal initiatives to surface new ideas and cross-pollinate solutions.
  • Implement and communicate metrics, conduct usability testing, and use data to continually improve product fit and impact.
  • Stay at the forefront of documentation and best practices, supporting both new and legacy product lines.

YOUR EXPERIENCE
  • 2-4+ years of product management experience, preferably in internal, multi-tenant systems
  • Direct experience working with agile teams to deliver products from vision through execution.
  • Inquisitive and engaged in using and building AI-centric tooling and workflows.

  • Demonstrated ability to build deep partnerships with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong communication, documentation, and relationship management skills.
  • Analytical mindset-comfortable working with data, defining KPIs, and rapidly assessing success/failure during product lifecycles.
  • Adaptability and bias for action-able to navigate ambiguity, work at speed, and drive results in highly dynamic environments.
