About this role
Company
Gantri is the world’s first digital manufacturer for creative lighting. We help independent designers, studios, and influencers to develop original, sustainably made lighting designs and sell directly to consumers. We manufacture and fulfill all orders on-demand using 3D printing from innovative plant-based materials.
Since launching in 2017, we’ve collaborated with the world’s best designers and studios, including Ammunition (Beats by Dre), Smart Design (OXO), and Karim Rashid. We’re the most awarded lighting brand in the US, winning Time’s Best Inventions, Fast Company’s Most Innovative in Design, and many other awards.
Role
We are hiring a product manager to oversee the development of our digital product platforms: Create Hub, Admin, and Marketplace. This leader will design and implement key features for our production backend software, Admin, and will work closely with a strong team of designers and software engineers to revamp and relaunch our Creator Management platform, Create Hub.
The ideal candidate has a strong balance of empathetic and data-driven problem-solving skills. They are comfortable communicating ideas to a range of stakeholders, thrive in a scrappy prototyping environment to gain insights, and build team consensus through clear metrics, robust roadmaps, and an inspiring vision for Gantri.
