AI Growth WritingGrammarly is excited to offer a remote-first hybrid working model. Team members work primarily remotely in the United States, Canada, Ukraine, Germany, or Poland. Certain roles have specific location requirements to facilitate collaboration at a particular Grammarly hub.
All roles have an in-person component: Conditions permitting, teams meet 2–4 weeks every quarter at one of Grammarly’s hubs in San Francisco, Kyiv, New York, Vancouver, and Berlin, or in a workspace in Kraków. This flexible approach gives team members the best of both worlds: plenty of focus time along with in-person collaboration that fosters trust and unlocks creativity.
Grammarly team members in this role must be based in New York, and they must be able to collaborate in person 2-3 weeks per quarter depending on business needs, traveling if necessary to the hub(s) where their team is based.

In this role, the Senior TPM will cross several growth systems and collaborate across Engineering to help us achieve our objectives.
