Additional Qualifications and Skills

We are looking for people who have: 

• A depth of experience as a technology product manager (i.e. creating strategic product roadmaps from conception to launch and working with cross-functional teams). 
• Effective communication and collaboration skills with a wide range of audiences including technical and layperson, and internal and external constituencies. Ability to work not just with engineering, but across many functions and teams with their own agendas, to bring all voices into the conversation and lead people toward agreement on the path forward. 
• Passion for people. A successful product manager at the Lab will care deeply about humans, fairness and equity, and love the humane role of product management in creating compassionate user experiences. 
• Openness and flexibility. We don't know the answers to the questions the Lab is asking. A successful product manager at the Lab will be open to learning from experiments, hearing new ideas no matter where they come from, and changing course quickly. 
• Global perspective. Social media is a global phenomenon. A successful product manager at the Lab will ensure we bring many perspectives to our work and find solutions that are appropriate to different cultures, languages, and approaches to governance. 
• Mission-driven and resilient. Building a better social media will involve confronting difficult questions and content. We are here because we care about the mission, first and foremost.
