At Factual we believe that context drives an evolved mobile experience. Our Places Data, Geopulse, and Engine products provide contextual relevance to mobile developers, advertisers, and publishers who aim to make their content more targeted, engaging, and valuable. Delivering these services requires a complex and robust suite of infrastructure, data, and software products.
To this end, we are looking to meet candidates for this Senior Leadership role on the Product Management team. In this role, you will own and evolve our Places products. You should have demonstrable experience shipping and scaling components of data-heavy services. Representative examples include mapping and navigation data or services, end-to-end data pipelines, and search platforms. This position will report to the SVP of Product and Partnerships and located in our Los Angeles HQ.
You will be the “CEO” of the product - constantly assimilating findings from customers, internal teams, and the market itself. You will lead the Product Roadmap for Places at Factual, a global data set of every “place” (currently 52 countries and ~120 million entities,), as well as interact with a robust customer base across enterprise (Apple, Facebook, Uber, Bing) and advertising (includes Factual’s internal products).
You will be hyper aware of how the product is performing (data quality, customer feedback, revenue growth, new prospects, stability, scalability), constantly shape how we prioritize various features, act and think independently, track and analyze all components of the business, and drive integration with customers.
You will collaborate with our talented engineering team to establish well-understood product requirements, efficiently organize resource allocation, and deliver against a committed roadmap.
You will actively gather requirements, prioritize and manage a roadmap, communicate priorities, and problem solve. You are effective at making tough decisions with limited data.
