Why this role exists

The core product has no dedicated PM. Experience work is scattered across non-product teams and has long been aimed at “reduce negative feedback volume” — a defect metric with no established causal link to retention. This role is not just another shipper; it's someone who defines the right goal for experience work.

What you'll own
  • Feature definition, PRDs, and cross-team delivery for the core NewsBreak app
  • The For You feed experience — including how and when local verticals enter the main feed
  • Rebuilding quality triage: rank experience issues by predicted churn impact, not complaint volume
  • Scaling directions the Lead PM has validated
  • Managing one existing PM
What we're looking for
  • 5–8 years in consumer product with a solid shipping record
  • You can quote real post-launch numbers — and explain the gap versus your forecast
  • Preferred: feed or recommendation experience on a large-DAU product
  • You run your own analysis and design your own experiments
  • You've killed features on purpose — deciding what not to build matters as much as what to build
  • People management experience
First 90 days
  • Produce a list of experience issues ranked by predicted churn impact
  • Replace “negative feedback volume” as the operating goal
  • Close the loop end-to-end on one or two high-priority issues
The US base salary range for this full-time position is listed below. Pay may vary based on a number of factors including job-related skills, level, experience, geographic location and relevant education or training. At NewsBreak, we design our overall rewards package to attract top talents. Depending on the position, the role may also be eligible for discretionary bonus and options.
