Role

As Senior Product Manager, you will drive strategy and execution in building compelling features for the Likewise app. As you'd expect for an early-stage company, your role will include everything from product strategy through implementation and optimization, so think of it as product and program management rolled into one.

Your innovation, insights, and bias for action will be key to making this happen in a way that is fun and engaging for our users. In partnership with a small-but-fantastic team of creatives, content producers, engineers, and data geeks, your impact on our products and overall direction will be huge!
