- Lead how their products are taken to market and drive marketing and sales to effectively communicate the value of the product and drive adoption.
- Define and measure success in the form of input and output metrics and connect those to the business outcomes the company wants to drive.

- Excellent written and verbal communication and the ability to explain complex technical design in 20 seconds or 20 minutes, depending on the audience and goals.
- Ability to combine data-driven approaches with strong user empathy to figure out what/when/why to ship –we’re building a platform for millions of users, and there is lots to do!
- Excited by ambiguous and vague problem definitions and the ability to refine them into an actionable plan.
- Strong sense of ownership, urgency, and problem-solving skills –Timescale is moving fast, and so should you. Trying things, making mistakes, and quickly improving are in our DNA.
