ABOUT YOU

• You have at least two years experience in a product role
• You’re obsessed with optimizing a product to achieve the business goals while maximising return on investment
• You’re not a coder, but you’re able to understand the technology stack and most importantly understand the level of effort involved to get a Product Backlog item done
• You’re the voice of the user inside the business and you’re passionate about the user experience
• You embody Q-CTRL’s core values and you demonstrate them in your words and actions both internally and externally – you work to be real, trusted, just and revered
• You understand that communication is the biggest responsibility of your role and the one you’re least likely to get right unless you focus on it
• You care about how your attitude affects those around you – everything you do runs through this filter
• You are humble enough to bend to the will of the frameworks, technologies, constraints, and people you work with when doing so won’t have a materially negative impact. In other words, you can play by someone else’s rules when that’s the best thing to do
• You love to teach and learn from your co-workers
• You don’t mind being the one that looks bad – you make mistakes sometimes – you choose to fix them and learn from them
• You’re confident with a number of tools and approaches and you probably have some you prefer right now, but you’re neither dogmatic nor myopic in your focus on them
• You’re a CSPO and/or PSPO
