The creator team at Substack is obsessed with helping creators become wildly financially successful. You'll join as the Product Manager across the team, responsible for all product surface areas related to creator success and driving growth. You will talk to customers daily, work with engineers directly, design and execute the go-to-market motion with partners, and ensure what we're building is moving the needle for our creators. We often write our own copy, run our own analyses, and conduct our own research. If this sounds more exciting than daunting, that's a good sign.
Responsibilities- Form a deep understanding of the current state of play in our creator platform, and identify the biggest opportunities for development and growth
- Build a compelling roadmap at the short term, medium term, and long term horizons
- Help design and spec projects across the spectrum from experiment, to feature, to large-scale initiative
- Work closely with the leadership team to ensure that your team's product strategy and the overall company strategy are in lock-step at all times
- Fully own the product marketing and go-to-market strategy for everything the team ships
- Partner with your EM counterpart to inspire and lead a full-stack team of engineers, designers, and product analysts - creating clarity and accountability for them at every level
Requirements- 4+ years of experience as a Product Manager
- A deep understanding of Substack's product, user base, and market position
- Comfortable operating at every level of abstraction (from high level product/business strategy to "what should the CTA say" level details)
- Deep experience with software design; you have demonstrated the ability to service user needs while balancing ease of use and flexibility
- Independent ability to build charts and tools using current software development tools (you can vibe code some things)
- Strong analytical skills, competence in SQL and experience with BI tools like Sisense, growth frameworks like cohort analysis and growth accounting should be second nature
- Strong communication skills: Must be able to write a compelling strategy doc, internal or external blog post, and present to the company regularly
- An ability to roll up your sleeves and do what needs to be done
