You will have an opportunity to own, shape and deliver compelling best-in-class experiences for our internal developer community of 600 engineers and growing. You will be responsible for partnering with our engineering leaders and customers and capturing/communicating the vision, identifying opportunities, setting goals and priorities, and building out the developer journeys. As a product leader in our organization, we look to you to set big, ambitious goals, be gritty, and hold yourself and your cross-functional teams accountable to deliver results on behalf of our developers. We anticipate this role to expand over time and include building out a product management team to scale and mature our platform work. You will be a vocal and empathetic developer advocate, influencing and building cross-functional experiences with stakeholders across the organization including our business teams, risk and compliance, security, legal, and finance.

• Communicate the vision, strategy, execution plan and company impact/learnings to all stakeholders including the highest levels of leadership in the company.
• Be forward thinking and leverage technology, data, and tools, including ML or AI, that will provide a significantly differentiated value to our strategy.
• Collaborate closely with the full cross-functional team (e.g., marketing, product, design, engineering, platform, data, compliance, risk, finance and operations) for your line of business & initiatives, to help execute on the strategic vision.

What you'll need:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant technical discipline or equivalent experience.
• 7-10 years of product management experience, at least 5 leading developer-facing products and/or platforms.
• Experience mentoring / leading a product team or cross-functional team.
• Full stack "operator": ability to both create and execute the business and product strategy; with clear objectives, but limited, ambiguous, or varied direction.
• Ability to operate cross-functionally, leading and influencing colleagues, and ultimately leading to timely tactical decision making to advance our objectives.
• Data-driven approach and excellent analytical skills with a strong understanding of how data and modeling can drive focus and results.
• Superior communication skills, written and verbal. Experience presenting to senior-most company leadership.
• Experience delivering quality software that solves business and user needs.
• Passion for your customers! You do right by them, always.
