With our main products in a really solid space, 2021 is about growth, new ventures and big opportunities—and we're very excited to add another Product Manager to help us dream, build, experiment, learn, and build some more.

• Collaborative and communicative: You have a demonstrated ability to work well and communicate with engineers, designers, and data scientists -- experience working with business and editorial team members is a plus
• Curious, analytical, and motivated: You don't merely accept outliers in data, but investigate and dive into the numbers to find novel insights and new product ideas
• Comfortable in the spotlight: You will need to work with and help influence senior leaders across the company to promote the team's vision and product strategy in a fast-growing and revenue-driving space
