Our Values ⚖️

Engineers and product obsessed - we loathe over-engineering, we cringe anytime a customer reports a bug and we release new versions every 2 weeks.
We love our customers - solving their problems and helping them grow and succeed in a rapidly changing world. Oh yeah we also love their 5 star reviews.
We love disrupting the status quo - we believe everyone globally in the industries we're going after will be using a mobile app as their primary business tool by 2021.
We understand that it is critical to measure what matters. So we don't take victory laps nor do we pause to take a break unless the scoreboard reflects that we are #winning as it relates to our customer delight and growth goals.
We don't just think of this as a job. In our spare time, this is what we do and who we are. Our obsession with small business, fintech, smart growth, and cool apps is a 24/7 thing.
We believe only three things matter as we build out our business: building a great product, delivering awesome customer service, and a killer instinct for activating and engaging new users... which leads us to:

Who are we looking for 😎

You love the idea of making it easy for anyone to work for themself and make a great living. That idea fires you up so much, you are willing to go to the wall to bring it to life. We are looking for a data driven, scrappy, results oriented Product Manager who recognizes that creating a product users love, delivering world-class customer success, and serving as a multiplier on the team is a winning strategy. We’re also looking for someone who is comfortable with the UX side of things. If you are comfortable navigating auto-layout on Figma then this role is for you!

You have a track record for high customer empathy, data driven opportunity identification, collaborative problem solving, and going the extra mile to achieve a shared "win". You believe in product roadmaps, process alignment, taking big swings at creating new features, while getting small improvements "high visibility, high need" features out quickly, testing/testing/testing, and continuous improvement. You thrive on making contributions across the business and also enjoy carving out "deep work" opportunities in specific areas.

Someone who has created his or her own startup or been team member #1 or #2 at another startup. Someone who has achieved "real" not "vanity metric" traction and exited - voluntarily or involuntarily. Someone who wants to do it all over again, but better ... with a team that has the talent and runway to go all the way. Someone who believes the fact that people with time and talent don't have a transparent, frictionless path to make a great living is a crime. Someone who has done their homework and knows exactly where they plan to add value to realize our vision. Someone who is highly resourceful and effective when things are most uncertain. Someone who has the ability to nurture a feature from concept to launch to post-launch impact monitoring to a seamless iteration cycle. Let's not get bogged down with the technicalities of planning poker, but project management skills are definitely a bonus! Someone who is modest, but intense. Pragmatic with a sense of urgency. Leads with data yet trusts his/her intuition. Someone who has strong views, but holds them lightly. Someone who knows that it is now or never.
