Problem-solving and depth of learning. You’re structured and creative enough to solve most challenging problems independently, given the necessary knowledge. You learn new concepts and skills rapidly, and look to understand stuff truly in depth.
Expertise. You have significant expertise in consumer-facing product management roles. Mobile, web, or startup experience a bonus.

Curiosity and initiative. You love exploring and you’re entrepreneurial in seeking out new opportunities and testing new ideas of your own accord.
Diligence, organization. You can blindly be entrusted with big responsibilities as well as coordinating the complex work of a complex team.
Leadership. You know how to involve and inspire others. You’re highly demanding of yourself and you’re not afraid of demanding the same level of excellence from others. You’re ready to stand your ground for what you think is right.
Communication. Your communication, both written and oral, is structured and crystal clear.
Humility. You’re down to earth, eager to listen to people’s constructive criticism, and ready to get your hands dirty with whatever the team needs to succeed.
Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.
