The role 🤗🦄

We go for excellence or nothing. If you have a passion for financial wellness, fintech or the future of skilled freelancing, this is for you.
You will lead and be part of a team with developers, designers, analysts and other domain experts.

This is an opportunity to truly lead, envision and develop a key piece of Willa, and be part of shaping the future of work.

Work with the product team and your product chapter peers to develop and prioritize your OKR’s, roadmap and backlog. And of course build up and expand your product area’s strategy.
Dive deep into data, user insights and market insights to gain a profound grasp of your area. And, lead the gathering of additional insights you need.
In collaboration with our agile coaches, ensure that your team is high performing and happy.
