Description
Ready to challenge yourself to dive deep and think big? Ookla, the company behind Speedtest, Downdetector, and many other connectivity tools, is a team of passionate individuals who have turned clever ideas into unique products and a thriving business. Globally, millions of tests are performed every day across the Speedtest ecosystem on the web, desktop and mobile apps, embedded in routers and deployed in thousands of servers. With all that usage comes countless ways to dissect and analyze our data, and plenty of exciting opportunities to optimize our monetization strategy. It also gives us the ability to help make the internet better, faster and more accessible for everyone. If you crave the chance to do your best work in a flexible work environment where we value individuality and fun as much as we value talent, we want to hear from you.
Ookla's Speedtest products are used by millions of people worldwide every day to measure and understand network connectivity. Ookla Cell Analytics utilizes those measurements to deliver insights about wireless network service to mobile network operators, equipment manufacturers, telecom infrastructure companies, and regulators. We are looking for an experienced, hands-on product leader to help us better serve those clients, and improve mobile network coverage and performance for everyone. This role will work across the organization and with senior management; the ideal person is able to work seamlessly across teams to both be a bridge and driver.

• Serve as the Product Owner for our Ookla Cell Analytics offerings, translating the product roadmap into an actionable, prioritized backlog of well-defined user stories for our Agile development team to execute against.
• Collaborate with our sales, support, and technology teams to help determine the best solutions, work through implementation issues, and strike a balance between "perfect" and "practical" to facilitate continuous improvement.
