Lead Product Manager

Who we're looking for

Ethena is looking for a Lead Product Manager to join our small but mighty team. This hire will own critical features across our suite of software and learning experience products. This is a role for someone who loves to wear multiple hats and wants real ownership: you'll set the strategy, make the calls, and be accountable for the outcomes.

• Owning the strategy and roadmap for Ethena's learning experience: deciding what topics we cover, how deep we go, and which regulations and geographies we serve, all while creating compelling training that employees actually engage with

• Contributing to our software roadmap - owning select features end to end and making sharp, well-reasoned cases for what we build and why

• Developing a deep understanding of our customers, our competitors, and our market, and turning that understanding into decisions

• Crafting exceptionally clear product specifications and content strategies that skillfully navigate complexity - articulating hard tradeoffs to everyone in the room

• Using AI tools fluently across your work - customer research, data analysis, content development, prototyping - to move faster and see further. (To be clear: AI sharpens good product judgment; it doesn't substitute for it. We're looking for the judgment.)

• Collaborating with our learning experience, design, and engineering teams

• Owning go to market and enablement motions for your products, proving clarity across the organization about what we're building, why, and when it’s launching

• Raising the bar for the whole product function, working with our VP of product to evolve and level up our ways of working

What makes a great candidate

• A proven track record of driving real outcomes at early stage companies - you can point to products you shipped and the impact they had, and explain why

• Impeccable product sense that extends to content - you understand the criticality of impactful training that sits alongside our technology, and you have taste and judgment for both

• A sharp, structured thinker who is exceptionally clear in writing and in conversation - you make complicated things simple, not the other way around

• Genuine fluency with AI tools in your day-to-day work, paired with a clear-eyed view of what they're good for and where they fall short

• A "roll up your sleeves" mentality and comfort operating within ambiguity

• Passion for what we're building here at Ethena

• An impeccable sense of humor

What's going to be the hardest part

• Quickly getting up to speed, learning our product, the space, our mission, and our ways of working, and finding ways to bring your experience and unique perspective to every problem you encounter
