Responsibilities
- Define and maintain product roadmap.
- Communicate ideas via mockups.
- Define and measure success metrics.
- Build consensus for your ideas.
- Double as a project manager to make sure your ideas are being executed in a timely fashion.
Requirements
- Scrappy: You find a way to get things done no matter what. If your web designer is busy you'll create a pixel-perfect UI; if your engineers are busy you'll check in the change; if you don't have a QA team (heh, *ahem*) you'll test the deploy.
- Technical: You're not afraid to talk algorithms with engineers or check minor modifications into source control
- Results-driven: You care more about winning in the marketplace than what your friends think of your product. If an ugly UI performs better under your success metrics you go with what works, not what looks good.
- Organized: You create order from chaos. You can organize processes and webpage flows whenever necessary but you don't fix what's not broken.
- Comfortable working in an environment where ideas are thought of, described, and executed within a span of hours to days
- Deep understanding of web analytics
Desired Qualifications
- CS / symbolic systems / MS&E degree from a top CS school (Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Caltech, CMU, Waterloo, etc) or equivalent level of technical understanding.
- 1-5 years of product management experience with at least 1 year of experience in consumer web software. We will consider the rare fresh grad who has a hardcore get-it-done attitude (and proof of this on their resume).

Who are you guys, anyway?
We're a young and scrappy startup in the social application space.
Here are a few bullets on us, because who doesn't love bullets?
- We're profitable, which makes us pretty much the opposite of your typical echo chamber Silicon Valley startups.
- We raised $4m in an A round with Polaris Ventures and value-add angels including Ron Conway and Ariel Poler.
- We're only 21 people. You can make a MASSIVE impact here.
- Our office is in San Francisco, in the old Yelp space, but we plan to upgrade our digs soon. We'll still be in SF.
- We have all the typical startup stuff (free food, Rock Band, exposed brick walls, etc).
- If you like beer, check out our kitchen.
