Responsibilities
- Write clear PRDs with unambiguous requirements, acceptance criteria, and edge-case coverage for features across the platform.
- Manage the backlog and delivery process: sprint planning, ticket grooming, bug triage, release notes, and QA plans.
- Prototype in Figma—wireframes, user flows, and state diagrams—working alongside (or ahead of) designers and engineers.
- Drive UX decisions: information architecture, interaction models, and interface copy that’s clear, consistent, and on-brand.
- Collaborate daily with engineering to scope work, resolve blockers, and ensure high-quality releases.
- Translate business rules (e.g., results-based payouts, campaign eligibility, content attribution) into product logic and clear system requirements.
- Participate in discovery activities: user interviews, creator feedback sessions, and usability tests to validate designs and surface new problems.
- Define and track product metrics (activation, conversion, creator retention) in partnership with the Head of Product; instrument events and monitor dashboards.
- Coordinate cross-functionally with Execution, Sales and Creator Success on workflows that span multiple teams.
- Maintain and improve internal tooling and ops workflows to increase data integrity and team efficiency.
Requirements
- 2–4 years of product management or design/UX experience.
- Strong visual design and UX sensibility. You notice when spacing is off, when a flow has unnecessary friction, or when a component doesn’t follow the system.
- Proficiency in Figma: you can create and iterate on wireframes, flows, and prototypes without waiting for a designer.
- Solid understanding of how software is built. You can speak fluently with engineers about APIs, data models, and technical tradeoffs—even if you’re not writing the code.
- Sharp spec-writing skills. You can document requirements in a way that leaves little room for ambiguity.
- Experience managing a backlog and shipping cadence in tools like Linear, Jira, or similar.
- Familiarity with product analytics: defining events, building funnels, reading dashboards (Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar).
- Clear, concise communicator across audiences—engineers, designers, executives, and external stakeholders.
- Bias toward action. You’d rather ship and learn than plan forever.
- A team player.

- Startup, marketplace, adtech or creator economy experience is a plus.
