You will play a leadership role in the end-to-end process from concept to execution, working cross-functionally with your partners in Product Design, Engineering, and Product Ops. As an early Product Management hire and explicit leader at a time of rapid company growth, you will play a key role in shaping what our product and product processes will look like for years to come.
At Fora, Directors explicitly own and drive some of the most important products, systems, and teams in the company, and the Booking Platform is at the heart of our Advisor Portal with significant daily transaction volume.
