Qualifications

Minimum

You solve problems from first principles. You’re excited to solve problems in innovative ways, and you resist “this is how it’s always been done” thinking.

You’re customer focused. You are able to identify consumer pain points, lead with the consumer front of mind and build go to market strategy to enhance our consumer experience.

You’re an AI leader. You’ve built, launched, or scaled AI-powered consumer products, and you can help raise the bar for how our team builds, makes decisions and creates more magical customer experiences.

You’re equally comfortable operating at 10,000 feet and 1 foot. You don’t hesitate to get in the weeds and operate at the lowest level of detail, but you’re just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team. No job is beneath you.

You’re analytical. You let data win arguments, and you’re comfortable pulling your own data in SQL or modeling in Excel.

You’re unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments
