This role is ideal for a high-impact operator with 5-6+ years of experience in management consulting or a fast-scaling startup. You should be a master of "structured chaos," capable of translating high-level product strategy into actionable roadmaps. While a background in Business or Economics is required, the team is looking for someone who can move fast without a playbook and bridge the gap between Product, Engineering, and Data. The compensation is highly competitive ($160k–$210k) and comes with a robust benefits package, including a 4% 401k match and a "dogfooding" budget to shop on the app. While the role is listed as "on-site" in NYC, SF, or LA, the company emphasizes a flexible hybrid approach. This is a high-visibility position where you’ll own the end-to-end product lifecycle and tooling stack for one of the fastest-growing marketplaces in the world. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Can navigate ambiguous environments and influence stakeholders without direct authority. * Have a data-driven mindset and are comfortable using SQL and dashboards to track product health. * Are passionate about the creator economy, live shopping, or collectible marketplaces. * Enjoy building systems, playbooks, and frameworks from scratch to help a team scale.
