We utilize Slack and Zoom to collaborate and communicate. In a given week you will:</p> <ul> <li>Investigate, understand and prioritize customer friction that can come from support tickets, Twitter, other GitHub employees - especially the Revenue team, and any other countless locations; you will then translate the customer pain points into potential work for the Special Projects team.</li> <li>Provide feedback, guidance, and pragmatic solutions to the engineers and designers working on tasks.</li> <li>Build plans for one-off special projects while  working cross-functionally across the company to deliver the project on time, at a high quality, and while supporting your peers within Special Projects for shared success.</li> <li>Demo the team’s work to company executives and stakeholders.</li> <li>Identify potential opportunities within GitHub for the team to make an outsized impact on the GitHub product.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Represent the customer</strong>.

At any given time, you will need to provide your guidance, drive clarity and lead features across a multitude of product areas.</li> <li><strong>Collaborate and build trust across teams</strong>. Your success will require coordination across multiple teams and domains at GitHub, across product, design, engineering, marketing, PR and customer-facing roles such as sales and support.</li> <li><strong>Deliver the best work in a limited time span</strong>. You will need to listen to diverse perspectives and work with others to move forward to ship secure, maintainable, and consistent features. You will need to show a resourceful, driven attitude and a willingness to get your hands dirty when taking on tasks, while balancing pragmatic solutions against our team’s time box and exceed expectations when opportunities arise.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Minimum Qualifications</strong></p> <ul> <li>3-5+ years of engineering, design, product management, or equivalent experience with demonstrated ability to discover opportunities and define and deliver products.</li> <li>Skill and enthusiasm for translating customer feedback into actionable priorities with an eye to pragmatic solutions.</li> <li>Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced environment</li> <li>Strong technical abilities including experience with developer tools, particularly git</li> <li>Experience working across organizations with Sales, Marketing, Support, Product, Engineering and Design.</li> <li>Entrepreneurial thinking and the ability to act effectively with only high-level direction.</li> <li>Strong communication skills, with clear verbal communication as well as explicit and mindful written communication skills, with an ability to communicate the impact of your work.</li> <li>Intrinsic desire and motivation for customer impact</li> <li>Attention to detail, planning, and organization, both at an individual and at team level.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Preferred Qualifications</strong></p> <ul> <li>Strong customer and stakeholder empathy and understanding.</li> <li>Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and cross-functional projects across a wide product area.</li> <li>Experience working in a startup environment where you feel comfortable making decisions efficiently and communicating them effectively.</li> </ul> <p>You may be an excellent fit even if you don’t meet all of the qualifications above.
