About the role
Thumbtack was originally built to serve individual professionals and small businesses. Now, larger and more sophisticated businesses represent one of our biggest opportunities for growth — and serving them well requires us to rethink what Thumbtack can offer. In this role, you’ll shape how we win with this segment, from connecting Thumbtack with the tools pros use to run their businesses to creating the foundational experiences they need to succeed at scale. You’ll work closely with our partnerships and business development teams to turn integrations into meaningful growth, identify and scale new growth levers tailored to this segment, and bring differentiated products to market.

Develop a deep understanding of how these pros operate, using research and data to identify unmet needs, product gaps, and new opportunities for growth.
Set the strategy for our APIs, data integrations, and partner offerings, working directly with partnerships, business development, and external partners to create value for pros and open new growth channels.
Lead new products and capabilities from early discovery through launch and adoption, helping complex businesses succeed on a product originally designed for smaller businesses.
Partner with engineering to make thoughtful tradeoffs between near-term opportunities and durable technical foundations that can support future products and partnerships.
Bring engineering, design, data science, marketing, sales, and partnerships together around clear priorities and lead execution across organizational boundaries.
