When hiring candidates, we look for signals that a candidate will thrive in our culture, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, grow rapidly, and love our work. We also know how critical it is to celebrate and support our differences. Employing a team rich in diverse thoughts, experiences and opinions enables our employees, our product and our community to flourish. We are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.

In this role as Product Manager, you will be working with users, developers and other stakeholders at OpenSea to ensure that we are focused on solving the most pressing problems with the product and addressing the most pressing opportunities to unlock product value. A great fit for this role will be someone who evaluates problems from a 'first-principles' mindset, is intensely curious, and cares deeply about the craftsmanship of a well-designed user experience. Above all, we want the individual in this role to develop a clear understanding of our user so that product work we take on can be passed through that lens. We would like to hire someone for this role who can create internal momentum around a product roadmap we reach consensus on, but make data-driven and customer-driven suggestions when we need to alter our course. You will function as something of a polyglot, creating dialogue with stakeholders from various departments about new product initiatives. You will be reporting directly to the Head of Product for this role but will take ownership of key strategic product areas such as Asset Discovery and Buyer Experience.
