• Location requirements: Hybrid, California, United States

About the role

• Lead Product Manager maximizing enterprise value by solving customer problems in global commerce. Collaborate with cross-functional teams delivering meaningful results and product success.

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap and outcomes: Set direction, make tradeoffs, and ensure the roadmap delivers measurable business impact (revenue, retention, margin, or market share).
• Turn strategy into execution: Lead the team through agile sprint cycles, breaking initiatives into clear stories, requirements, and milestones that ship.
• Define success and measure it: Establish success metrics up front, instrument what matters, and use data + customer feedback to iterate quickly.
• Make the hard prioritization calls: Navigate the tension between today’s immediate needs and the product’s long-term health to build sustainable competitive advantage.
• Unblock the team relentlessly: Remove roadblocks for Engineering, Design, Data, and GTM so the team can move fast without compromising quality.
• Be a full-stack executor: If needed, jump in to talk to customers, write copy, prototype flows, build enablement materials, write docs, analyze data, or respond to CS tickets.
• Drive results, not consensus: You are not a peacemaker or a consensus driver. Your job is not to include every opinion. You will listen hard, decide, and move. You’re not here to make everyone happy. You’re here to ship and win.
• Lead through influence and ownership: Keep stakeholders aligned, ensure nothing falls through the cracks, take accountability when things go wrong, and give the team credit when things go right.

Requirements

• A track record of delivering successful outcomes. You can point to products you’ve led where you didn’t just "ship features," but moved core business metrics (revenue, churn, margin, or market share).
• Strong product judgment. You can make hard calls in ambiguity, explain the tradeoffs, and be right more often than not.
• Ruthless prioritization. You can clearly articulate why we should invest in problem A vs. B based on customer value and long-term business impact.
• A high bar for craft. You care about the “why” and the “how” behind great products. You sweat details, have great taste, and know what it takes to ship something special.
• A strong bias to action. Speed matters. You ship MVPs, learn fast and iterate. You reduce the time from insight to execution without lowering standards.
• High ownership. You operate without boundaries and never hide behind “not my job.” When you see a gap, you don’t wait for permission. You do whatever it takes to deliver the outcome.
• Analytical rigor. You’re deeply comfortable with data. You can run your own analysis, understand complex schemas, and use data to pressure-test decisions.
• Clear, strategic communication. You can distill complex problems into a crisp narrative that aligns execs and gives teams clarity and momentum.
