What you’ll do:
- Own defined problem spaces and initiatives within the career sites product area
- Contribute to a shared roadmap and product vision, working closely with other PMs in the domain
- Lead discovery efforts to deeply understand candidate, customer, and market needs
- Translate insights into clear requirements, priorities, and delivery plans

- Strong product discovery skills and comfort working in shared ownership models
