What does “good” look like for us? 😇
We want someone who is intelligent, filled with energy and acts with integrity. Someone who puts the customer above all else and doesn’t need convincing of the benefits of doing so. We are looking for someone who:
· Has experience with design thinking and gets lean product development – taking a user centred approach to problem solving and maximising the value experienced by a user at the earliest possible opportunity. To do this you must bring your curiosity, empathy, and imagination to work with you every day.
· Embraces the unknown (Agile) - You know what you want to achieve but through rounds of iteration and pivots the journey might be quite different to any you imagined…and you’re fine with that.
· Someone who values insights – someone whose opinion and approach changes to match the facts rather than someone who finds the facts to fit their existing beliefs.
· Values getting stuff done over processes – you continually assess processes and are ruthless about killing off anything that don’t deliver value and optimizing the things that do.
· Skilled at influencing without authority – our product team need to be trusted and respected. You don’t have direct reports instead you manage up aligning stakeholders right up the hierarchy to the top.
· Is a master of prioritization – how do you know what to do next. No one is going to tell you here; you need to know what to do. You need to be able to explain why that’s the right call and bring your stakeholders with you.
· Is the sort of person people love to be around – not just because you’re brilliant but because you’re fun, friendly and trustworthy. Someone who can tell a great story and is also a great listener. You’ll work with a diverse group of people from software developers to customer service, marketers to data.
· Comfortable in a fast-paced, changing environment – you can work across multiple products and projects concurrently.
