Product Roles that are a great fit

I am looking for a company where I can tackle large and hairy problems with smart and motivated people while continuing to build my growth and product muscle. My belief is that learning occurs at the corner of discomfort and challenge. I am looking for a place where I can learn while also  teaching my peers something new!  What is also important to me is a bias for action and growth in terms of responsibilities, people

I thrive in environments that will encompass the following:

  • Ability to hone my general management skills

  • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally across the organization. Team work does make the dream work!

  • Organizations and people that have a sense of urgency to get things done

  • Companies that encourage debate but leave the decision with the primary owner

  • Encourage learning across the organization, internally or externally with classes

  • Allow me to grow and mentor product folks

  • Have a culture of writing; writing is the most underutilized skill in the workplace
