Curiosity: The best candidates understand that creativity and growth start with a curious, humble mindset and asking thoughtful questions.

Ownership: The best product managers take the responsibility of delivering a successful product to heart, and step in wherever needed, even if crossing typical role boundaries; they never shy away from the details nor lose sight of the bigger picture.

Communication: Effective communication to any audience (company leadership, engineering, customers, and more) is key to success in this role.

Attitude & Ambition: The best candidates are smart, hard working, competitive, and not afraid to fail. They are team first but willing to take the lead with minimal guidance and supervision.

Proven product management experience (at least 3+ years), with demonstrated success in product delivery, ideally at an Enterprise SaaS company (even better if in an Internet Infrastructure company)

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or Engineering or equivalent technical experience, higher level degree (MBA, MS, etc.) a bonus but not required
