You will own the end-to-end product lifecycle for our marketplace team, which is responsible for helping clients (startups to large enterprises) in discovering, and ultimately hiring, top independents on Contra's platform. This role is critical to the future of Contra's success as we build out an effective growth loop for the independent workforce.

  • You are a resourceful & goal-oriented PM. Contra is shaping the future of independent work and as such we have large goals in front of us, we want someone that thinks outside the box to reach our product goals
  • You have experience making data-driven decisions (analytical skills is a plus!) - at Contra, we strive to experiment and iterate to deliver the best product experience possible
  • You operate well in a remote-based environment (and are within ~3 hours of Pacific Timezone)
  • You are passionate about building beautiful and functional products that exceed user needs
