About the Role

We are looking for an experienced and visionary engineering leader to strategically guide our Contact Data team. The Contact Data team is a fullstack product team that is responsible for the core data integrations, APIs, and reporting capabilities within the Assembled Workforce Management (WFM) product. Additionally, this team ensures that customers can easily understand and validate data in our product, and defines metrics that are consistent and useful for our customers. All of these areas are foundational to the user experience of the Assembled WFM product.

You'll end up working with product managers and design extensively to scope a project, engineers to build the product, and the business team to help launch and sell what your team has built. You’ll be working closely with our customers to ensure the team is building the right things and delivering value to our customers.

• Lead and mentor teams of passionate software engineers that pride themselves on ownership and impact. There will be opportunities to cultivate manager reports.
• Recruit, manage, and coach the team to ensure that each person is motivated, excited about work, and performing their best.
• Set and communicate a clear vision for the future of these teams. It is important to be customer focused and wear a product manager hat when needed.

• Drive initiatives that improve our operational excellence, technical architecture, cross-team/organization communication, and recruiting.
• Work in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment. The needs of our customers are changing quickly as companies grow (or shrink) and navigate new ways of working. The ability to thrive in ambiguity and change is critical.
