• Define the near- and medium-term product development roadmap, key features/capabilities, and manage the development cycles with clear schedules, deliverables and milestones

• Develop and monitor metrics to track the success of products and features and inform future iterations

• Work with a diverse group of cross-functional teams to ensure creative and continuous improvements

What We’re Looking For

We want strong collaborators who can deliver a world-class user experience. We are looking for people who thrive in a fast-paced environment, are user-focused, team-oriented, and able to execute in a way that accelerates creativity and continuous improvement. It's important that you can understand the story of our users and their clients and use that knowledge to advocate passionately on their behalf to make their technology experience better on a day-by-day basis.
