Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager
Location: Mountain View, CA

Overview
The client is the power of small businesses and self-employed individuals, recognizing their vital role in driving the global economy. Small businesses in the US form the backbone of employment, accounting for 60% of the workforce and creating 80% of new jobs. However, navigating the challenging early years poses significant risks, with a high failure rate within the first decade. One of two fails in the first five years, two of three before they can turn ten. Also, small and mid-market businesses now more than ever use multiple tools to get their jobs done. This presents new challenges - multiple versions of truth, siloed experiences and workarounds that become broken workflows.
