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.
Senior Product Manager
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to further the mission to inform and inspire the world. As Senior Product Manager , you will deliver features and improvements on the core product across iOS, Android, and web. You will impact the product in key areas — core experience, discovery, personalization, curation, and 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 have successfully built and scaled communities of engaged users.
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.
Benefits & Perks
Our benefits include medical, dental, vision and life insurance; flexible and generous "out of office time” for holidays, vacations, sick leave, relaxation and wellness, in addition to a mid-year and end of year break, totaling 10 days. We also offer an employee assistance program, plus eligibility to participate in pension (CAN) or 401k (US) plans with an employer contribution.

Global Zero seeks a talented digital architect and creative engagement strategist who is committed to ending the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons and securing justice for communities harmed by the nuclear weapons complex.
The Partner for Digital will be the linchpin in the development of an online full-court press that expands our audiences across multiple platforms, strengthens our ability to raise funds online, and amplifies our message that urgent action is needed to eliminate nuclear weapons globally.
In this position, you will leverage the smarts of a diverse team of campaigners, a global community of senior political leaders, military commanders and national security experts, a growing group of young volunteer activists, a widely recognized and respected international brand, and 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) capabilities. You’ll help us combine creative and bold campaigns with sophisticated digital infrastructure, sharp visuals, engaging content, and clear messages that equip people with the information and tools they need to speak truth to power and pressure decision-makers to act.
Background
Global Zero is spearheading an audacious campaign to eradicate all nuclear weapons everywhere and unlock a world of possibility beyond the bomb in our lifetime.
We don’t believe global security can be built on threats of mass destruction. We reject the narrative that insists we accept the enormous risks these weapons pose to our communities and our planet. We refuse to be complicit in the undemocratic, unjust and terrifyingly absolute power to kill hundreds of millions of people at the push of a button. And we will not stand idly by while nuclear-armed governments pursue dangerous plans that make nuclear conflict all but inevitable.
This year, we’ve undertaken a radical reimagining of our work. Leading with our values and bringing a campaign-strategy mindset to everything we do, we’ve pioneered a pathbreaking new organizational model that:
Carries forward an intersectional, multi-pronged, cross-functional approach to building movements and influencing policy;
Couples feminist and anti-racist leadership principles with an experimental mindset;
Replaces traditional departments and hierarchies in favor of a flatter partnership where roles are mapped to core needs; and
Prioritizes institutional agility, radical candor and transparency, systems thinking, and whole person support.
The Job
We can’t persuade governments to take bold action if we don’t expand our audience and win the story wars, and we’ll need you at the table to ensure that powerful storytelling and cutting-edge digital engagement is a major pillar of our strategy.
As Partner for Digital, you’ll be tasked with building out our digital infrastructure and leading engagement strategy, ensuring that our messages break out and break through to new audiences. This is a rare opportunity — at a unique moment of transformation and possibility — to take a leading role at a high-profile and influential organization working at every level to rid the world of nuclear weapons and change the way we think about and manifest security.
In this position, you’ll be responsible for shaping the digital vision and delivering on growth and engagement objectives, while threading the needle between Global Zero’s thought leadership and movement-building work. You will bring to the table current experience with digital leadership and innovation, and a history of engaging online audiences in important policy debates, channeling interest and outrage into action, and winning campaigns, as well as strong message development, writing, and management skills.
The Partner for Digital will lead the following key activities to raise the profile of our issue and organization, expand our reach and build strength over time:
Online Advocacy: Develop and implement online advocacy strategies, and design and execute plans to grow and leverage social media audiences, email lists, and website traffic.
Digital Marketing: Oversee all aspects of online public engagement and community management, assure consistent communication of organizational values and policy positions, and design and execute digital communication/marketing plans for Global Zero initiatives.
Content Management: Create a comprehensive institutional and programmatic digital marketing plan and calendar. Serve as project manager for all digital communications deliverables including email, social media content and ads, and digital campaigns.
Leadership: Bring strong leadership, organizational development experience, and management acumen, and an affinity for learning and mentoring.
Collaboration: Work across teams and in deep collaboration with partners to help them develop communications, digital, and engagement strategies to achieve mutual objectives and growth.
Transformation: Advocate for creative digital thinking and innovative approaches to storytelling and engagement at all levels of the organization.
We’ll be honest: It’s a big job and a lot is riding on it. Digital is an area that is chronically misunderstood, undervalued, and underutilized in the broader nuclear advocacy field, and you’re going to help us change that.
You
Are a creative and resourceful strategist who understands the unique power and potential of digital outreach, marketing, and advocacy, and knows what it takes to break out and break through;
Take initiative in everything you do, and understand how to work in deep collaboration;
Are entrepreneurial and intellectually curious by nature, as well as analytical and technologically savvy;
Are enthusiastic about experimenting and learning from mistakes, but also respect metrics and outcomes;
Can prioritize in a rapidly evolving work environment and stay calm, steady, and upbeat;
Won’t be spiritually crushed by thinking and talking about nuclear weapons and existential threats on the regular;
Can see the big picture without losing sight of important details; and
Are eager to help shape a stronger and more intentional culture of impact, trust, empathy, and belonging.
Your Record
Up-to-date background in all aspects of a modern digital engagement leadership position, with demonstrable experience working in increasingly leadership-oriented digital strategy roles;
Strong understanding of digital analytics, including ability to collect, analyze, and interpret data to guide data-informed decision-making;
Experience using some (or all) of the online platforms currently employed, including but not limited to Action Network, WordPress, and social media channels;
Values-based message development, writing, and research/testing skills;
Digital communications, storytelling, and channel management expertise; and
A commitment to integrity, inclusion, compassion, and totally crushing it on the job.
Bonus!
Do you have other skills that we should know about? Here are a few things we think are great but not required:
Experience building and leveraging an influencer outreach program to grow the profile and connections of Global Zero staff, movement leaders, and experts;
Great eye for compelling visuals and design;
Witty GIF-master and meme-machine;
Subject matter expertise in peace and security, international affairs and/or nuclear weapons; and, finally,
Willing to split a pizza with almost any topping (except ham and pineapple, gross).
The Setup
This is a full-time exempt position being filled at the Partner (I) level, which sits in our $80,000-$100,000 pay band and requires advanced proficiency.
Other benefits include:
6 weeks paid leave, 1 week of paid sick leave and 12 weeks paid parental leave;
Platinum-level health insurance for you and your family at no cost to you;
4-day work weeks (and no, we don’t mean squeezing five days into four);
10% retirement contributions, work from home allowances, and professional development expenses; and
Talented, compassionate, and occasionally hilarious colleagues who are committed to the idea that this vital work can and must be joyful.
We do our best to strike a balance between the needs of individuals and the organization. It’s a lot of asynchronous work, virtual work sessions, and online project management/tracking that relies heavily on platforms like Slack, Asana, and Mural.
While a number of staff are located in the Washington, DC area, we’re a remote-first operation and able to hire from any geographic location.
How To Apply
We are looking for someone who is comfortable working both independently and in teams, highly responsive, and able to lead initiatives as well as take direction from others. If that’s you, please click here to submit a cover letter, resume, and samples of your work.
Nuclear weapons threaten every person on Earth and disproportionately harm women and communities of color — and our work must reflect that fact. Global Zero is committed to cultivating and supporting a workplace rooted in the values of diversity, equity, justice, and belonging. We understand continuous learning, meaningful reflection, radical candor, and leading by example in our interactions with others both within and outside our organization are vital to achieve our goals and foster a safe work environment for everyone. We provide structured and unstructured opportunities for anti-bias development and growth to staff and volunteers and build just and proactive organizational policies to ensure we are living our truth in all we do as an organization — and in partnership with the broader movements in which we operate.
We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement and recognize that's impossible without first building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applications from all, and especially encourage those who have been traditionally sidelined from nuclear policy and advocacy — including women, Black people, Indigenous people, people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, refugees, and LGBTQ folks — to apply.
We can't wait to hear from you!

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.
Benefits & Perks
Our benefits include medical, dental, vision and life insurance; flexible and generous "out of office time” for holidays, vacations, sick leave, relaxation and wellness, in addition to a mid-year and end of year break, totaling 10 days. We also offer an employee assistance program, plus eligibility to participate in pension (CAN) or 401k (US) plans with an employer contribution.

We seek and value all kinds of diversity and work hard to eliminate inequities in ourselves, our organization and our communities.
