About the job

As the VP Product Management - Comms Platform Customer and Developer Experience,  you are at the helm of both of the customer journeys for Twilio's flagship Programmable Messaging Product as well as a suite of high growth products targeting marketing, security and growth teams.  We're seeking an innovative and experienced product leader with a track record of driving new product capabilities from concept to successful delivery and market leadership. You will lead a high performance team of product managers to engage customers, set strategy, define roadmaps, and work with engineering to deliver and guide execution to ensure value realization and business impact. Leveraging your proven track record of scaling products across consumer, enterprise and developer APIs, you are expected to work with senior level customer partners to drive adoption.

Responsibilities

• Analyze and synthesize broad, cross-business or cross-discipline information that leads to breakthroughs or significant insights.
• Lead and collaborate across teams - We win or lose as a team. Product Managers play a critical role in creating alignment between engineering teams and partners. This role requires many cross-functional team initiatives. A collaborative approach and demeanor is important.
