Guild is hiring for a Senior Director of Product Management to drive Guild's product efforts focusing on growing our marketplace.

Guild’s product teams leverage technology to help connect and scale our education marketplace, enabling thousands of students to go to school affordably. Guild is on a journey to streamline how we onboard, operate and support hundreds of partners.

To do that, you’ll need to develop a deep understanding of our products, operations, data and the business use cases they enable. You’ll use this knowledge to lead teams that design products and internal tools leveraged across the company. In particular, we’re looking for someone who is comfortable discussing data models with engineers one minute, business use cases with the partnerships team the next, and on a phone call with Senior Fortune 1000 contacts in the next.

• Develop a product roadmap to meet the needs of product, engineering, and operations teams -- both internal and external -- that leverage Guild information to connect the marketplace. 
• Oversee Guild's product for partner onboarding, administration and lifecycle management
• Hire, lead and grow a team of Product Managers with diverse backgrounds

You are a strong fit for this role if you have:

• 12+ years of deep experience in product management or a similar function , with 5+ years of experience managing product managers across a multi-product portfolio,  developing and implementing B2B and/or marketplace supply products.
• Helped fast-growth businesses transition from v1 to v2 of a product suite
• Demonstrated capability of developing and evangelizing a shared vision across the organization, with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Excitement about engaging with enterprise leaders outside of the company, partnering closely with internal Guild sales and account leadership
• Proven ability to manage complex business problems across internal and external stakeholders.
• A track record of working closely and effectively with engineering and partner teams.
