Skills Required

  • You are relentlessly focused on long-term success and driving measurable results toward goals. You’re able to continually and ruthlessly prioritize projects and next steps by the greatest potential impact, risk, and resources required and push those projects forward in the face of obstacles.
  • You have 2+ years’ experience managing analysts, designers, and developers, leading complex user and metrics-inspired projects. You know how to deploy these people efficiently to have the biggest impact on set goals.
  • You have a well-rounded knowledge of growth, acquisition, conversion optimization, and retention. You have a passion for continuing to expand your knowledge around these areas.
  • You have an analytical mind, are very comfortable with large quantities of data, know what to look for, and have the ability to spot a trend others might miss. You know how to use data to derive insights that increase growth and learnings. You weave qualitative and quantitative data analysis together to identify and solve complex problems.
  • You are a systematic thinker, understanding how all the components of the marketplace will fit together and how new projects will impact the larger system.
  • You possess exceptional communication skills and articulate your decisions clearly, explaining what problems they solve and why.
  • You are hypothesis-driven. Everything you and your team work on has a compelling and articulate answer to “Why?” before anything else.

You can effectively work with the right people to address and eliminate those weaknesses. You have excellent user-centric design and product sense and a passion for using data to improve user experiences.
  • You have a high bar for product, process, and people that borders on perfectionism, and you hold the entire team to this same standard while delivering projects on time.
  • You are incredibly detail-oriented, process-driven, and organized—personally and within the team—but can ensure we ship high-quality product at a timely pace. Balancing multiple projects, deadlines, and requests should be second nature to you.

  • You have a strong desire to grasp the entire site from all our users’ perspectives: shops, buyers, affiliates, etc. Over time, you’ll need to develop an acute understanding of their desires, motivations, and problems.
  • You can assist engineers in making some technical decisions, but you don’t have to be an engineer. You should be eager to learn more from a technical perspective and able to talk at length about technical challenges they have faced when building past products.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
  • You want to build relationships across the entire team.
