What you'll love about this role

• We’re nimble and fast-moving, without corporate red tape, approval layers, or politics
• You’d be impacting the lives of small business owners — helping them to pursue their dreams and thrive financially using our platform
• We’re radically collaborative, free of silos, and PMs work in partnership with team members from across the company
• You’ll have the freedom to truly focus on customers in an environment where user research and data-driven decisions are valued
• You’d be working directly with our small, yet established product team including seasoned Product Managers, an incredibly talented Product Designer team, a UX Researcher — alongside an exceptional team of product-centered in-house engineers

What we’re looking for in a Product Manager
Based in New York City or Oklahoma City, we’re looking for an experienced leader who’s able to help to shape and drive the roadmap across a growing product suite through a user-centered philosophy, constant experimentation, measuring everything, and innovation.  Skills needed include:  

• Experience:  You have at least three years of professional product management experience in software 
• Empathy:  You’re obsessed with customers — figuring out how they think, understanding their problems, and predicting how changes will make them feel
• Scaling experience:  You’ve scaled products to serve thousands or millions of people
• Inspiration:  You paint pictures of the future that excite team members and customers alike
• Customer delight:  You’re enthusiastic about building products that people love and make a meaningful difference in their lives, while being able to articulately explain what makes certain experiences incredible
• Intuition:  You have a knack for blending data and experience to uncover what customers truly need and conceptualize novel solutions, even in the presence of major ambiguity
• Data focus:  Your analytical skills are strong, so when there are data gaps, you’re comfortable designing research programs and talking with customers to inform decisions
• Natural leadership:  You’re able to earn the respect of world-class engineers and designers through influence, not direct authority
• Technical acumen:  You understand technical concepts, and are able to work closely with engineers to consider their implications when making decisions

Bonus points for

Small business expertise:  Bringing products to market that specifically focus on serving small to mid-sized businesses

• Domain knowledge:  You have strong opinions — well informed, but loosely held — on digital marketing, social media, and developer tools
• Engineering skill set: hobbyist programming experience, a degree in CS, or a background as a software developer
• Related expertise:  Experience managing MarTech, ecommerce, or AdTech products
• Team leadership:  Mentoring, training and/or hiring product team members
