• SaaS experience. You have worked in software-as-a-service companies that serve clients.
• Process proficient. You have a strong understanding of product discovery and delivery techniques, knowing how to tackle risks up front and optimize products once they are live.

• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
