Your role in our mission
In a nutshell, we’re on the lookout for someone who is passionate about Product and about helping other Product Managers to fulfil their potential. If that sounds like you, read on!
At SF, you’ll have some big challenges on your plate. These challenges are aimed squarely at our mission and they’re challenges for which we don’t know the answer – the dream for every Product Manager. We’re looking to test entirely new concepts, succeed where others have failed, help people in new geographies and much more. It’s all to play for.
It’ll be quite the adventure but don’t worry, you won’t be alone! You’ll be leading a small team of SF Product Managers – and you’re in luck because they’re great. Smart, energetic, dedicated and frankly lovely, SF Product Managers are an exceptional bunch – and you’ll have an amazing opportunity on your hands to help them flourish.
As a Senior PM here, it’s not all about leadership – you’ll be rolling up your sleeves too. You’ll no doubt find yourself conducting early-stage user research, running design sprints, crunching data, leading partnership conversations, working with internal stakeholders, helping with requirements and much more.
Who you are
We embrace our differences but there’s one thing we like to share our values, so it’s important to us you are:
- fearless, and able to make the impossible possible.
