Your Mission

We are lookingfor a Senior Product Manager to own the app's core experience. In this role, you will support the General Manager and CPO and work closely with the cross-functional product team.

The ideal candidate for this role will have a track record of delivering 0-to-1 or 1-to-10 product initiatives from ideation to launch with a sprinkle of entrepreneurship experience. Must have several years of experience in discovering and solving user problems in the consumer space.

You are the "Pioneer" archetype and love the thorny early stages of product development, figuring out how to make a product that works for its users. You thrive working in dynamic environments with high levels of freedom and are at home operating with a lean cross-functional team across multiple product initiatives at a time.

What you’ll be doing

• Craft a strategy for how our social discovery app cancreate differentiated and defensible offerings that get us closer to our long-term product vision, and win buy-in for this at every level in the company.

• Get to know our users and uncover their needs and pain points. Look beyond the numbers to deeply understand how our users are interacting with and getting value from our product.

• Shape outcome-focused product goals and an ambitious experiment-driven roadmap to validate, prototype and push forward new ideas and concepts.

• Drive execution, working iteratively and collaboratively with design, engineering, analytics, monetisation and many others to rapidly build, learn and iterate.

• Communicate effectively with people of all levels of seniority. You’ll get people inspired by the product vision and you’ll share the right context with the right people at the right time.

• Lead planning processes and associated roadmap prioritisation using an appropriate blend of effort, upside and risk ensuring that your team is working on the highest impact priorities that contribute to wider business goals.

• Improve the efficiency of the product development process, particularly in the ideation, prototyping and early-validation stages.

• Keep a pulse on the competitive landscape and market trends.

What you’ll need to succeed:

• You’ve extensive experience in shipping successful mobile consumer products in a fast-growing company.

• You’re passionate about building great products for users, but you also deeply understand what makes your product succeed commercially.

• You start from first principles. You’ve previously built products that tackled long-standing user problems in a new way or otherwise broke from the industry status quo. You’re not satisfied with simply building the same product your competitors offer.

• You’re full of novel ideas and creative solutions, and able to tease them out of others too.

• You’re data-driven, relentless about metrics, and intellectually honest about how your work is performing and driven to continuously improve it.

• You’re flexible and fluid in your approach to work. With enough research, you can develop a point of view on market outlooks and cultural trends. With enough debate, you are capable of changing that point of view.

• You bring product sense in spades and rolling up your sleeves is your default approach.

• You can work and communicate effectively with a diverse range of people and working styles to get stuff done, and can thoughtfully and constructively challenge and influence the people you work with.

Bonus points:

• It’s great if you’ve worked on online dating, social discovery, community or entertainment products, but it’s not essential.

• Experience with SQL and data analysis.

• Experience with data products, machine learning-driven products, and recommendation algorithms.
