• Partner with marketing, engineers, designers, data and applied scientists to ideate, prioritize and deliver great solutions for our customers and professionals.

• Coordinate within your team and among teams at Thumbtack to ensure understanding of and alignment around projects.

• Drive a high-impact initiative from seed to scale, ensuring sustained focus by thoughtfully sunsetting or culling initiatives that do not meet success criteria.

In order to be successful, you must bring

• 5+ years of product management experience with a proven track record of launching impactful consumer web or mobile products that users love.

• Excellent user-centric thinking with strong user experience and product sense, allowing you to empathize with users and craft excellent experiences.
