Web3 Product Lead, Creator

When hiring, we look for candidates who can thrive in our culture of trust, feedback, and rapid growth. We believe that diversity and inclusivity are essential to our success, and we provide equal employment opportunities regardless of background or identity. Our opportunities support remote, hybrid, or onsite work at our offices in New York City, San Francisco, or Silicon Valley, and we're dedicated to creating an environment where all employees can do their best work and contribute to the growth of our platform.

As the Product Lead for the Creator Team you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of how creators, brands and consumers interact with OpenSea. You will be responsible for deeply understanding the needs and aspirations of creators, while also incorporating consumer needs and insights to create user-friendly solutions that cater to both sides of the marketplace. Your role will involve developing and executing a comprehensive product strategy and vision that not only empowers creators, but also resonates with consumers. We are looking for someone who has startup experience, understands the value NFTs provide to creators, and has experience managing cross functional teams with internal and external stakeholders across engineering, design, business development, marketing and operations.

Product Managers at OpenSea work with users, developers, designers, and other stakeholders to identify, prioritize, and solve the most pressing problems for our business. A great fit for this role will be someone who evaluates problems from a 'first-principles' mindset, is intensely curious, maniacally detail-oriented, 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 the 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.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, marketing, and operations, to define and execute the product roadmap for creator-focused features and tools
