We9re looking for a Staff Product Manager, Growth to join our Product team at Snap Inc!

What You9ll Do

  • Own the product and machine learning roadmap for Snapchat Search, including relevance, retrieval, and ranking.
  • Grow Search as a destination for discovering people, creators, and content across Snapchat.
  • Advance the retrieval and ranking systems behind Search, and build the evaluation frameworks and quality bar that determine what ships.
  • Own how topical content is organized, ranked, and surfaced across Snapchat9s web and in-app experiences.
  • Improve how Snapchatters find and connect with the people they are looking for, partnering closely with friending product and ranking teams.
  • Define and track the success metrics for Search, and the measurement approach behind them.
  • Design and run experiments, interpret results rigorously, and recommend when to scale, iterate, or stop based on user impact, business impact, and product quality.
  • Partner day-to-day with machine learning engineering, design, data science, user research, and trust and safety, and align adjacent teams on shared goals and dependencies.
  • Set the strategy and communicate it: priorities, progress, learnings, and results, to your team, to cross-functional partners, and to senior leadership.


Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

  • Deep expertise in ML-driven ranking, retrieval, search, or recommendation systems, with the ability to hold your own with engineers on retrieval architecture, training data, and evaluation design.
  • Ability to develop and communicate a holistic strategy for how an area of products advances a long-term vision, not just a roadmap of features.
  • Strong judgment about where to invest and what to stop, with the ability to root-cause complex problems and make durable decisions from incomplete information.
  • Fluency with experimentation and data: you form clear hypotheses, run clean tests, and let the results change your mind.
  • High degree of ownership and urgency; comfortable prioritizing and operating with ambiguity across a broad scope.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration and influence skills that drive execution in fast-moving environments, including with teams that do not report to you.
  • User-first mindset, with an understanding of how to grow products responsibly and sustainably alongside content quality and safety considerations.
  • Mentorship instinct: you raise the craft of the product managers around you and contribute to recruiting.


Minimum Qualifications

  • BS/BA degree or equivalent years of practical work experience
  • 8+ years of experience building and shipping products at a technology company; OR a Masters and 7+ years of experience


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience owning an ML-powered product surface, including the model roadmap
  • Experience on consumer growth teams in a fast-paced B2C environment
  • Experience with search, discovery, or feed ranking at scale, including semantic or embedding-based retrieval
  • Experience with A/B testing, experimentation platforms, funnel analysis, cohort analysis, and growth measurement frameworks
  • Experience unifying ranking or retrieval across multiple product surfaces
  • Experience building growth loops, improving user journeys, or optimizing high-scale product surfaces
  • Experience partnering with trust and safety or content policy teams on user-generated content surfaces
  • Passion for Snap9s mission and for building products that help people express themselves, connect with friends, discover content, and have fun together
