- Drive Impact. Set clear, measurable goals — and ensure the team is relentlessly driving toward them.
- Plan & Prioritize. Own the roadmap and collaborate across engineering, design, data, and marketing. You’ll also influence adjacent teams (e.g., Career Events, Employer Paid Products) to ensure alignment and amplify impact.
- Champion the User. You’ll bring deep insight into the student experience — through user research, experimentation, and data — and use it to shape every product decision.
