Title: Senior Technical PM – Mobile & App StoresLocation: RemoteTime Zone: US Time Zones (PST - EST)

Role Overview

We need a Senior Technical PM who has lived and breathed the mobile consumer space, someone who knows what it takes to build apps that people love, navigate app store ecosystems with ease, and ship with the kind of technical credibility that earns the trust of great engineering teams. This role is about ownership. You will drive the mobile product roadmap, work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers on technical decisions, and bring a sharp B2C lens to everything from onboarding flows to AI-enhanced core features. If you have grown comfortable sitting in meetings without a clear opinion or waiting for someone else to define the technical direction, this role is not for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the mobile product roadmap with a clear focus on consumer engagement, retention, and delight
• Lead app store strategy — including release planning, guideline compliance, and submission management across iOS and/or Android platforms
• Work directly with engineering to review technical approaches, contribute to architecture discussions, and write specs that leave no room for ambiguity
• Identify, scope, and deliver AI-powered features that meaningfully improve the consumer experience
• Define success metrics and hold the team accountable to measurable outcomes
• Collaborate with design on consumer-facing UX, ensuring technical constraints are balanced with user experience goals
• Communicate product strategy clearly to stakeholders at all levels

Required Qualifications

• Proven track record as a Senior PM or above, with a focus on consumer mobile products
• Deep, hands-on familiarity with mobile app store ecosystems (iOS App Store and/or Google Play), not just awareness, but real operational experience
• Must be able to code in Python or Java, this will be assessed as part of the process
• Experience shipping AI or ML features in a consumer product
• Strong B2C product instincts, you understand consumers, not just users
• Experience in an early-stage product environment where structure is built, not inherited
• Must have prior remote work experience and be fluent with remote collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, or similar)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing App Store Optimisation (ASO) as part of a broader growth strategy
• Background in consumer subscription or freemium business models
• Familiarity with mobile CI/CD pipelines and release tooling
• Experience working closely with data science or ML teams

Tools & Technology

• Mobile app store platforms (App Store Connect, Google Play Console, TestFlight, or similar)
• Mobile analytics (Firebase, Amplitude, or similar)
• AI/ML APIs and tooling
• Linear, Jira, or similar project management tools
• Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace
