Far from your typical corporate “values” checklist, we hire, evaluate, and make our most important strategic decisions against these criteria. The right fit for this role will embrace, uphold, and contribute to forwarding these values in the work they do, and the interaction they have with clients and team members.
We’re looking for an individual who:
- Has an insatiable drive to create products that people truly love. We’re not interested in putting out “just another” cookie-cutter application.

The individual who is the best fit for this role thinks beyond the next best technical solutions and is obsessed with developing incredible tools that not only perform the task, but also make people smile when they use them.
- Is relentlessly focused on the end user. You eat and breathe User Experience and are deeply curious about, and fascinated by, how the end user interacts with the product. You’re ruthless in cutting out features that don’t add value. You’re willing to go entirely back to the drawing board if something just isn’t working for the client. This is “Act with the client’s best interest in mind” at its best.
- Is creative, adaptable, and open-minded. You’re willing and able to take an “end-around” to solve the problem, change direction on a dime, and open yourself up to solutions that may be outside of your comfort zone. This is an early-stage product that requires early-stage thinking.
- Is a direct, concise, cross-functional communicator. You’re able to distill down your technical expertise into straightforward language that enables the product team and end user to understand and interact with you and your work.

- Plan an integral role in future product roadmapping. As a member of the Product team you’ll participate in shaping the future development of Compass, as well as evaluating the potential for expanded functionality and/or entirely new product development opportunities.
- Own your scorecard and rock projects. We run our business on EOS and Shape Up and use those frameworks to set monthly objectives (the Scorecard) and longer-term strategic projects (the Rocks) both at the team and individual level in order to make progress towards the firm’s annual goals and overall vision. You’ll be responsible for ensuring you’re meeting your targets and completing projects.
- Participate and contribute to the overall success of our team.
