Group Product Manager, Risk - Kraken

The opportunity

Manage a high performing team of Product Managers within Risk, deploying a diverse set of people management techniques to achieve savage levels of accountability while building a culture of openness, collaboration, sticktoitiveness, and career growth. 

Champion a culture of outcomes (over activity), where we default to proving the value of our work either quantitatively or qualitatively (over an assumption of value).

Evangelize the asymmetric benefits of experimentation, creating an environment bordering on religion where we take calculated risks on two-way door decisions, knowing that we will learn a lot of lessons on what doesn’t work. 

Create and communicate the overall product strategy, roadmap, and business plan for Risk, ensuring that stakeholders across the company are aligned with the direction and up to date on progress. 

Build a high trust culture with the Risk Engineering and Design teams, creating a symbiotic relationship where everything we do is positive sum for one another and our clients. 

Collaborate proactively with cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Support, Operations, etc.) to empower our team’s success as well as other departments’ success. 

Establish goals, metrics, and KPIs so that you can thoroughly understand the performance of our products and team over time. 

Implement value-added process improvements within and outside the team without letting the process become The Thing.
