Senior Product Manager, Core Product and Growth

Flipboard is the world’s first social magazine, designed to inform and inspire the world. Available on web, iOS, and Android, Flipboard offers the world important and influential articles, videos, podcasts and products shared by the greatest publishers and our vibrant Flipboard community to advance conversation, keep people informed, and inspire them to engage, learn, and lead.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager, Core Product, and Growth to further the mission to inform and inspire the world. As Product Manager, you will deliver features and improvements on the core product across iOS, Android, and the web. You will impact the product in key areas — core experience, discovery, personalization, curation, community. You will help shape the product strategy as we work together to drive deeper engagement, foster better retention, and deliver an unbeatable product that our users love.

The Flipboard team is currently working remotely. Join our team and work from the US or Canada.

Role & Responsibilities

On a day-to-day basis, you’ll work across a variety of teams and develop strong relationships with Engineering, Design, Analytics, Growth, Marketing and Editorial teams. Collaboration and communication are central to your success, and you ensure the right set of stakeholders are in the loop on product planning, discussions and decisions.

You'll take responsibility for understanding the needs of our users through qualitative and quantitative methods. Together with the product, design, and engineering teams, you'll brainstorm solutions that fit our needs. You'll validate your proposals with user research and A/B testing. You'll ship winning treatments and features to millions of Flipboard users, measure impact, and use the learnings to fuel the next round of improvements. You'll celebrate insights and wins with your team and the rest of the company.

In this role, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the overall product strategy and align your priorities with the overall direction. At the same time, you’ll care deeply about details and polish in the products you deliver, and personally ensure the user experience and data meet the quality bar for features you’re overseeing. You’ll put the team first, prioritizing the team’s time, success and recognition above your own.

Required Skills & Experience

You have 6-10 years of product management experience. You have strong product instincts, an analytical approach, and a growth mindset. You are seeking a role where you’ll do the best work of your career, where you take on challenges big and small, supported by a strong, nurturing team that you support in return.

You are proactive in seeking data at every step of the product development process. But you also know that data can be skewed, biased or incomplete. You know how to differentiate between causation and correlation and communicate the two clearly in your analyses. You can analyze large structured and unstructured data sets using SQL and analytics tools such as Looker or Tableau. You identify, isolate and test assumptions, adopting a hypothesis-driven approach when executing your product plan. And while you’re data-informed in your decision making, you know there are times you need to exercise judgment and make decisions that aren’t supported by data.

You know how to drive the product process forward, expecting the unexpected, relentlessly focusing on actions and owners. You are a synthesizer, an organizer, a structured thinker. You understand the importance of pre-work before meetings, calendar invites with clear agendas, and documenting ideas, decisions and next steps. You’re proficient working in JIRA or similar issue tracking systems, and you’re adept at working on several projects, features or tickets at once.

You have successfully built stable communities or a network of users who retain and are engaged.
