Ideal Candidate Profile

• 3-8 years of experience in a user-facing B2C product role
• Experience at a fast-paced consumer startup (not late-stage)
• Proven success building mobile-first consumer experiences
• Strong scientific mindset: unit economics, growth loops, retention metrics
• Some coding ability and comfort with data tools
• High general intelligence, sharp prioritization skills, and a no-ego attitude
• Bonus: Interest or experience in trading cards, Pokémon, or collectible culture
• Open to candidates from top-tier consulting firms (MBB) with 12 years PM experience
• Education from a top-tier university (Ivy League or top public), STEM preferred but flexible

Traits to Avoid
