As a tireless advocate for our users, you will also partner closely with other Twitch product teams, especially those in Monetization, to ensure our users enjoy a coherent, delightful experience across the integrated Twitch product.

In a typical week, you might partner with UX research to understand users' needs better, identify opportunities to help creators earn more, bounce ideas off your fellow Commerce Products PMs, work with your core product team to brainstorm and implement product hypotheses, and share your insights with the broader organization in the monthly business review and Monetization All Hands.
