Thinkers are customer-obsessed and ownership-driven — we talk to customers constantly, take full accountability for outcomes, and operate with a high degree of autonomy and trust. We care deeply for each other and believe the best ideas come from honest debate, real feedback, and diverse perspectives. It's a culture built on trust, exceptional work, and genuine respect for the people around us. **Who thrives here:** Thinkific may be the right place if you're energized by a fast-paced environment, enjoy high autonomy, and work well with ambiguity and change. You thrive in highly collaborative teams and make the people around you better. You're results-driven, take ownership without being asked, have hard conversations even when it's uncomfortable, and celebrate diverse perspectives. AI is a tool you embrace to move faster and think bigger. **Who doesn't thrive here:** If you prefer highly structured environments, need to wait for clear direction to move, dislike ambiguity and change, or find direct feedback uncomfortable, Thinkific may not be the right fit. # **About the Role** 🚀 **What makes customers choose a platform and stay for it?** For many Thinkific Plus customers, the answer is Commerce, and we're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own it.
