What You'll Do

The Digital Identity team's product managers own problems end-to-end. Product works at the intersection of engineering, design, legal, security, data privacy and customer-facing teams. In this role, candidates will be responsible for the following:

• Developing  a deep understanding of the underlying motivations, goals, needs and desired outcomes of our prospects, existing customers and their end-users.

• Engaging with partners, customers and prospects (and customer-facing teams) to assess market trends and customer demand to drive the ideation and development of new customer value propositions and product concepts. 

• Collaborating with customers to synthesize and iterate on product design, bringing a unique product vision to the table – avoiding the “build a faster horse” problem common in customer feedback channels.

• Partnering with product marketing, sales, design, engineering and our partners to prioritize product opportunities based on impact. Learn as we ship and continuously improve our product development rigor.

• Shaping roadmaps, project plans, and clear product specifications that consistently deliver high-quality customer experiences.

• Ensuring successful product launches by working cross-functionally with sales, marketing, legal, security, data privacy, design and engineering; build scalable processes to ensure the team consistently delivers quality.

The Digital Identity team is looking for a “swiss-army knife.” A candidate that is independently driven, self-directed, resourceful and always willing to roll up sleeves to deliver. An ideal candidate will have a natural affinity for the details of complicated systems while remaining focused on the larger vision. Candidates should have great interpersonal and communication skills and a passion for learning, building, and shipping products that make an impact.

Qualifications

Extra Points for any of the Following

• Great product intuition, an “eye” for product market fit and demonstrated ability to find it.

• Can work across the entire business stack and make an impact at different stages of the product life cycle: building vision & strategy, prioritizing features or ensuring all the loose ends are tied up when executing.

• Comfortable with complex systems and business problems. A MECE thinker (mutually exclusive, cumulatively exhaustive) that knows how to decompose complex problems into member parts, and how to communicate that complexity in simple terms, with clarity and focus.

• Understand the importance of rapidly testing hypotheses. Can execute with speed - minimizing effort and complexity to iterate towards minimum-loveable-products while delivering delightful experiences for customers and their end-users.

• Grit and a whatever-it-takes approach to ensure that the product and team are successful.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and can articulate complex concepts in a digestible manner to diverse technical and non-technical stakeholders both internally and externally with customers and prospects.

• Have deep interest in building great product experiences and have a background building B2B2C products, B2B software, B2B APIs or D2C consumer onboarding/identity management experiences.

• An intrapreneur/entrepreneur mindset. Startup experience is a plus.

• Bonus points for previous experience in a digital identity, identity and access management or consumer onboarding product role.
