Director, Digital Product

The Director, Digital Product Management is the owner of all facets of their product, and must be adept at working across all phases of product management as both a leader and performer.  Entrepreneurial by nature, this person is accustomed to taking ambiguous products and turning them into well run operations that create meaningful value both for the customer and the company.  Experience across all facets of digital is imperative – from marketing to sales, onboarding to authentication and service, as well as back-office process digitization, all will come into the scope of this role at various points.

With a strong background as a Digital PM this person will both help to define the product management function, and through their performance help elevate Quest to best-in-class.  Willingness to roll up their sleeves and dive into the details, while simultaneously able to craft stories for executive and customer presentation is a must.
