We are looking for people who can help bring this vision to reality by working cross functionally through many independently operating teams. We follow agile and lean startup thinking in our product design/implementation approach and believe that successful strategy formulation happens when we can launch, learn in context, and iterate. This means understanding of our customers’ needs/goals and working backwards in developing insight, exploring and defining opportunities, establishing hypothesis, creating tangible design expressions and testing hypothesis by running field tests and using metrics to measure success.
