This is an internal focused product where you get to own the vision, evangelize your vision across the organization, and gain buy-in from teams to drive product adoption.
Ideally, you are fanatical about using complex analytics in your decision-making process. You love being involved with every step of the process, from research to customer development to solution design and iteration. You’re highly autonomous and capable of taking high-level business problems, developing a viable strategy to tackle specific problems, quickly developing solutions, and evangelizing your product cross-functionally.
We iterate quickly, and with our accelerating growth, you will see your work have an immediate, growing impact every day in a hyper growth company.
