About the Role
As a Lead Product Manager, you will work across Carta's platform to ensure the company's offerings remain market-leading and transformative. You'll drive strategy, prioritization, and product delivery, partnering closely with product designers, engineers, and business stakeholders to ship impactful products. You'll dig deep into user problems to truly understand what drives them, and you'll move fluidly between big-picture product strategy and the granular details of solving specific technical issues. You'll be resourceful and scrappy, knowing when to invest in building versus validating a hypothesis through simpler means, and understanding that the best path forward isn't always through building new software.
