Job summary

ZipRecruiter is seeking a senior product leader to own two tightly connected surfaces: the job seeker identity/profile experience and the end-to-end apply flow that turns interest into a high-quality application. This role spans web, iOS, and Android, at the intersection of AI-driven matching and a two-sided marketplace.

You will set the vision, roadmaps, and KPIs, align multiple teams, and drive experiments to improve conversion and profile quality, while balancing trust, safety, and compliance

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience with a track record of shipping measurable results.
• Demonstrated success leading products that depend on many teams with competing goals, building alignment through clear writing, well-framed tradeoffs, and decisive decision-making.
• Strong UI/UX instincts for high-traffic consumer flows, comfort in design reviews and architecture discussions, and ability to reason about shared platforms, APIs, and model quality and failure modes.
• Hands-on experience owning a high-volume consumer funnel such as onboarding, checkout, sign-up, or applications, improved through sustained experimentation.
• AI/ML fluency, including shipping features powered by extraction, classification, ranking, or generative assistance, and evaluating them before and after launch.
• Deeply analytical, data-obsessed mindset that interrogates the "why" behind the numbers, paired with a passion for talking directly to users and conducting personal user research.

Responsibilities

• Set the product vision, roadmap, and KPIs for the job seeker profile and the end-to-end apply funnel, taking full ownership from funnel-level targets down to individual screens and questions.
• Lead cross-functional alignment across employer product, matching and qualification, trust and safety, platform engineering, mobile, messaging, and legal and compliance, resolving conflicting requirements with clear tradeoffs.
• Decide what data is collected from job seekers, when, and how it is used to accelerate later steps, making the value of a rich profile obvious to the user.
• Drive conversion from job click to started application and from started application to completion, identifying drop-off causes and the cost of each question and friction point.
• Partner with employer-side teams to ensure applications arrive in employer systems intact and that the most qualified, interested candidates stand out.
• Design, run, and interpret experiments with judgment about long-term marketplace health, not just short-term volume lift, and conduct ongoing user research to keep the job seeker voice central.
