ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
Familiar with a Product Led Growth [PLG] model for market expansion? Good, you’re in the right place. Jeenie is taking a product-first approach to creating value, and to growing, setting the tempo for our fellow Jeenies.

Naturally, we work closely with our Growth and Client Success teams, and of course Engineering, collaborating to bring human connection to users globally.
