- Detail oriented: the little things are what make products amazing and you should always be thinking about them
- Global product management: prioritization and execution across markets, languages, and currencies
- Technical skills: able to speak to engineers about technical approach, architect decisions, and high level technical strategy
Personal Characteristics:
- Mobile product vision: you understand mobile consumer product in your core and you are capable of creating transformative product features
- Design sense: you should feel comfortable giving visual input and enjoy the creative aspects of ideation
- Ability to communicate across diverse cultures, languages, work styles, and personalities

- Entrepreneurial through experience or mind-set
- Focus on outcomes with proven experience making product teams successful

There’s nothing ordinary about working at Badoo. We’re just as social as our product and don’t hide behind our computers. Innovation is key to what we do and since we’re a rapidly growing start-up, things move fast. We’re a diverse, international bunch and are based in amazing offices in Soho.
