Zusammenfassung

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

Qualifikationen

• 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.

Aufgaben

• 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.

Jobbeschreibung

Role overview

Join a leading online employment marketplace as a senior product leader owning two tightly connected surfaces: the job seeker identity/profile experience and the apply flow that turns interest in a job into a completed, high-quality application. This is a high-stakes consumer product area where small changes to conversion, profile accuracy, and application quality produce outsized impact, and where employer requirements, trust and safety, and matching all converge. The work spans web, iOS, and Android, and sits at the intersection of AI-driven matching, ML-powered features, and a two-sided marketplace.

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.

Requirements

• 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.

• 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.

Nice to have

• Experience at a two-sided marketplace where work on one side had to account for outcomes on the other.
• Background building user profiles, account systems, or consumer-scale data collection, including privacy and consent considerations.
• Experience shipping a single product experience across web, iOS, and Android.
• Familiarity with applicant tracking systems or other B2B integrations where collected data must arrive intact in another system.

Benefits and work setup

• Hybrid work environment; most US-based positions can be performed remotely.
• Competitive base salary in the $175,000–$235,000 range for this full-time position, with potential equity, bonuses, commission, or other compensation depending on the offer, plus a full range of medical, financial, and other benefits.
• Flexible vacation and paid time off.
• Employer-matched 401(k) plan.
• Equal opportunity employer providing equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants.
