Sr. Product Manager, Messaging

Role overview Lead the product strategy for a high-volume messaging channel that reaches users when they are not actively on the platform. The portfolio spans email and push notifications covering new opportunities, fresh matches, recruiter outreach, and application updates, and is a primary driver of re-engagement. This is a senior individual contributor role with end-to-end ownership of what gets sent, to whom, and when.

Responsibilities - Own the messaging portfolio, including which message types exist, their purpose, audience targeting, send cadence, and the balance between volume and long-term user trust. - Define and track portfolio-level KPIs such as application volume, activation, retention, unsubscribe and complaint rates, and revenue contribution from email placements. - Partner daily with data science and machine learning teams to shape the ranking and matching output that flows through sends, and with employer-facing product teams on outcomes for the other side of the marketplace. - Design and read experiments with judgment about long-term business health, looking past short-term engagement metrics. - Work closely with the engineering teams that own the messaging platform, frequency-capping, send-decisioning, and channel orchestration systems. - Protect the channel by staying on top of deliverability, sender reputation, compliance, and opt-in/opt-out mechanics. - Serve as the voice of the user for off-platform touchpoints through research and direct conversation.

Requirements - 5+ years of product management experience with a track record of shipping measurable results. - Deep analytical skills, comfort with SQL, and fluency designing and interpreting A/B experiments. - Hands-on ownership of email, push, or lifecycle messaging products at consumer scale, with a clear view of the tension between engagement volume and user trust. - Working knowledge of how ranking, relevance, and recommendation models are applied inside a product. - Demonstrated practice of speaking directly with users and running primary user research. - Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to collaborate across engineering, data science, design, and go-to-market stakeholders.

Nice to have - Background at a two-sided marketplace where work on one side had to account for outcomes on the other. - Experience building message selection, frequency capping, channel orchestration, or growth and CRM automation systems. - Familiarity with email deliverability, sender reputation, and compliance regimes including SMS and RCS.

Benefits and work setup - Hybrid environment with most US-based positions eligible for full remote work. - Competitive base salary range of $175,000–$235,000, with potential additional equity, bonuses, or commission depending on the position. - Comprehensive medical, financial, and other benefits, plus flexible vacation and paid time off. - Employer-matched 401(k) plan.
