Department: Product 

Reports To: Program Lead 

Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid Preferred) 

Overview 

At Togetherwork, we set a high bar for clarity, collaboration, and execution.

We work in deep partnership with Engineering, Revenue, CX, Operations, and Support, sharing accountability for delivering stable, modern, insight-driven products that help our customers thrive. 
 
We expect ICs to bring strong analytical thinking, operational rigor, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves to solve complex problems. Hard work is the norm—not for recognition, but for the greater good of our customers and the long-term health of our company. We embrace innovation, including responsible AI usage, to deepen insight, improve execution, and accelerate impact. 
 
This role reflects those expectations: collaborative, data-informed, customer-centered, and grounded in professionalism and positive intent.
