What We Do

What You'll Do

We're looking for a Sr. Product Manager to partner with a passionate group of engineers, designers, and a variety of customers and internal stakeholders to create new maps for Automotive, Logistics, Gaming, Consumer Applications, Outdoors, and more. Your team will work with the machine learning, data curation teams, and cartographers to create maps that contain relevant and up-to-date data for any customer use case by processing new data types such as points of interests, popular areas, outdoor, and 3D features into maps. You are a product leader who is comfortable using data to inform decisions, demonstrates customer empathy, and has solid instincts. 

What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role

• 4+ years as a Product Manager: You have seen a significant product through a full lifecycle of discovery, development, launch, and adoption. 
• Customer focus: You care deeply about your customer’s problems with a keen eye towards design and user experience.
• Analytical: You have strong SQL skills and use data for decision making.
• Prioritization: You have clear rationale behind the tradeoffs you make.
• Communication: You can talk and write about complex ideas concisely.
• Quality: You drive a culture of quality and balance it with velocity.
• Collaboration: You can work with cross-functional teams to determine dependencies and communicate them effectively.
• Ownership: You can develop and execute a plan based on high level direction for feature or product development.
• Invent & Simplify: You drive toward the simplest possible solution that drives the most value for customers.
• Geolocation: Familiarity and interest in visual mapping, search or navigation is desired. E.g. architecture, use cases, known limitations, state of the art approach

What We Value

In addition to our core values, which are not unique to this position and are necessary for Mapbox leaders:

• We value high-performing creative individuals who dig into problems and opportunities.
• We believe in individuals being their whole selves at work. We commit to this through supportive health care, parental leave, flexibility for the things that come up in life, and innovating on how we think about supporting our people.
