Our Ways of Working

We have team members located across the United States spanning multiple time zones. This means we put in extra effort to make sure we connect and collaborate in ways that make sense for us. We know how valuable the flexibility of remote work is for our employees.

We know that personal connection is the foundation for the great work we do together. In order to build those relationships with team members in other cities, we meet with coworkers in person two times a year at a full company offsite and a departmental offsite. These offsites are expected of employees and are great opportunities to meet the people you work with every day and to do some of the work that is much more difficult to do virtually.

What the Role Is

We are looking for a Director of Product to help develop and execute our consumer-facing product strategy. We want to help more new parents discover, purchase and easily manage everything they need for their growing family. Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, you will lead a team of four Product Managers who are responsible for customer onboarding, activation, and user experience for our registrants and gift givers (the heart of what we do!). Your team will also contribute to shaping the lifecycle management and media platform strategy that supports our entire registry experience.

Who You Are

  • You have the passion and understanding needed to develop great user experiences. Your track record shows smart product choices and attention to detail in visual and interaction design
  • You have 5+ years of experience leading high performing product teams, with at least three product managers
  • Proven track record of understanding how to scale products, manage high-bar development processes, and developing great people (and doing this in a high-growth, high performance culture)
  • You get how to manage teams that build for people. You understand how to find the needs of different user groups and how to build for their respective journeys
  • You are a problem solver who finds ways forward that bring others along. You are a smart communicator with excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal skills
  • Ideally, you have experience with registry-type products and have worked in consumer space that deeply values delight and customer empathy

How You Will Make An Impact

  • Lead a team of high performing product managers working on the registry and gifting experiences. This is our core value proposition and a highly visible role
  • Trusted partner with engineering, design, and executive leadership. You will play a key role in defining the vision and strategy for the registry user experience
  • Build a deep understanding of the customer journey and interactions (think of this as our funnel). Work closely with marketing to guide users from onboarding to engagement to retention and re-engagement
  • Play a key role in creating lifetime customer value by developing new communication platforms like SMS and extensible site-wide placements
  • Build trusted and durable relationships with business leaders and the executive team so that you can debate, gain buy-in, and align on roadmaps and goals
  • Exemplify customer-first thinking. Participate in customer panels, read NPS feedback, and work closely with UXR and CS to deepen our understanding of how best to serve our customers
  • Own and drive key metrics such as acquisition, NPS, and overall registry value

Why You Will Love Working At Babylist

  • We invest in the infrastructure you’ll need to be supported and successful: tools, opportunities to connect with colleagues, and a stipend to help you set up your office
  • We build products that have a positive impact on millions of people’s lives
  • We work at a sustainable pace which means work/life balance is a real thing here
  • We believe technology and data can solve hard problems
  • We believe in exceptional management
