For that, we add serious helpings of laughter and chat to every workday and celebrate each other's successes in work and life.

About the Role

You have a history of successful management of challenging cross-functional projects. You have the ability to explain sophisticated concepts to a variety of audiences confidently representing the product team to customers and internal partners. You resolve ambiguity by building and putting prototypes in front of customers and you're comfortable using AI tools to do so.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
 

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
