Senior Product Manager, Agency & Teams

Upwork ($UPWK) is the world’s work marketplace. We help connect companies large and small with top independent talent from around the world. Simply put, our mission is to create economic opportunities so people have better lives.

Every year, more than $2 billion of work is done through Upwork by skilled independent professionals who want the freedom of working anytime, anywhere.

Upwork’s Agency & Teams is on a mission to enable freelancers to come together and collaborate on complex jobs.

Some jobs are harder to tackle for an individual freelancer due to the limitation of skill-sets. By combining the skill-sets of multiple freelancers, it opens new opportunities for Upwork and its freelancers. Some common examples include developing e-commerce sites which require designers and developers, or children book creation which require copywriters and illustrators. You will be a part of a fast growing team responsible for coming up with the right tools to enable this new collaborative  experience. 

Your Responsibilities:

• As a senior product manager, you will be heavily involved in the product strategy. This is a fairly new concept for Upwork, so expect fun and challenging debates. 
• You will also be responsible for the development and coordination with both internal and external stakeholders
• You will also be  expected to track and understand the data around your product. 

What it takes to catch our eye:

• You are a product manager that embraces new product development and its challenges. 
• You have a good understanding of how to use data (both qualitative and quantitative) to help navigate your decisions
• You have a passion and some experience mentoring others
• You communicate comfortably by using structured frameworks
