Why this role existsThe 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
