Our Ways of Working

We have team members located across the United States spanning multiple time zones. This means we put in extra effort to make sure we connect and collaborate in ways that make sense for us. We know how valuable the flexibility of remote work is for our employees. 

We know that personal connection is the foundation for the great work we do together. In order to build those relationships with team members in other cities, we meet with coworkers in person two times a year at a full company offsite and a departmental offsite. These offsites are expected of employees and are great opportunities to meet the people you work with every day and to do some of the work that is much more difficult to do virtually.

What the Role Is

Babylist is the destination for millions of growing families. We help them with everything from product research, to managing their registry, to becoming part of our social media community. We believe that Babylist can also play a role in helping customers discover, purchase, and manage more of what they need for a new family member all in one convenient place. We are looking for an experienced product manager to help fulfill this vision.
