Why You?

You are someone who brings your life experience to create engaging experiences that truly make a difference in the lives of working parents. You use data to inform roadmaps, but you also know when you have enough information for action. You love the challenge of prioritizing user needs amongst multiple business objectives. You enjoy growing from diverse perspectives and coworkers while collaborating with others in a cross-functional team, and across departments. 

You are a self-starter, strategic and collaborative while looking to join an inclusive and supportive culture with a bias for action. You dig balanced startup life and can wrestle challenges in fast paced environments with grace. You do the research to understand the pain points from a wider perspective and solve problems holistically, effectively and efficiently. You ensure that findings are communicated properly to internal and external stakeholders.
