Ready to challenge yourself to dive deep and think big? Ookla, the company behind Speedtest and Downdetector, 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 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 consumer products are used by millions of users worldwide every day to measure and understand network connectivity. We are looking for an experienced, hands-on digital consumer product leader to help us better serve those users, reach new audiences and find new ways to delight them all. We need someone who can be an advocate for our users while balancing the needs of our enterprise business which is powered by the consumer products. 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.

We are people first, employees second at Ookla, and we know there is no one perfect path to any job. If you’re excited about the work we’re doing and think you have a creative new approach, please apply whether or not your experience matches the job description.

Expectations for Success

  • Be the subject matter expert on relevant markets, the competitive landscape, and the needs of our current and prospective users.
  • Work with stakeholders to shape the product vision in support of user needs and company goals; collaboratively develop and continuously communicate a rolling 9-12 month product roadmap to pursue that vision.
  • Analyze and prioritize incoming feedback and feature requests from users, partners, and internal stakeholders and balance those against strategic initiatives to ensure that we stay focused on projects with the greatest business impact.

  • Build, lead, and nurture a small team of product managers over time to support the growth of our consumer product portfolio.
