Product Lead - AI Platform

What we seek:

We’re seeking a Product Lead (Principal to Director levels) who will play a pivotal role in building our AI powered recruitment SaaS platform. In this role, You’ll help define the core product vision, goals, MVP experiments, and experience. You will collaborate closely with our users and cross-functional stakeholders like sales, supply acquisition, data/AI and customer success to drive key results. You’ll identify market forces, technical needs, and user needs into action. Furthermore, you will work hands-on with our design and engineering teams to build products that align with the success of blue collar recruiting businesses.

This is a highly entrepreneurial position and will require you to wear a number of different hats. Our culture is built on core values that inform everything we do. We encourage high ownership, collaboration, feedback, and a growth mindset.

What you bring:

• Customer obsession: You practice user empathy and are comfortable embedding yourself with users on a regular basis.
• Analytics: You are very comfortable getting the data you need and transforming it into insights and initiatives without support. SQL, scripting languages, and data-visualization packages are tools you can easily reach for and leverage, so your decisions are data-informed and clearly articulated.
