Job summary

Reddit is seeking an experienced Product Manager to own youth safety-focused experiences globally, balancing regulatory requirements with user experience. You will work with Legal, Policy, Safety, and Eng/ML to translate laws into product options and ship scalable safeguards at Reddit scale.

Responsibilities include leading strategy, roadmaps, age-verification flows, age-gated content, parental controls, and trusted notification controls while measuring outcomes and reducing false positives.

Qualifications

• Significant product management experience building and launching consumer products at large scale.
• Zero-to-one ownership: framing ambiguous problems, setting strategy, writing requirements, shipping, learning, and iterating.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and ability to negotiate high-stakes tradeoffs with Legal, Engineering, Data, Safety/Policy, and senior stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and first-principles problem solving; can distinguish legal requirements from interpretations and convert ambiguity into decision frameworks.
• Experience launching products across multiple markets or navigating meaningful market-specific requirements.
• Strong written and verbal communication, including concise articulation of options, risk, rationale, and recommendations.

Responsibilities

• Own strategy, roadmap, requirements, launch, and measurable outcomes for Youth product initiatives.
• Build and evolve age-assurance and third-party age-verification flows, including recovery/appeal experiences for users who are incorrectly classified.
• Develop youth-specific product protections and controls, including age-gated content experiences, parental-control flows, and restrictions on notifications, personalization, or chat.
• Translate changing global regulations into objective product frameworks: clarify must-haves, deadlines, consequences, country exceptions, and viable product options with Legal and Policy.
• Make principled tradeoffs between compliance, user experience, product value, technical complexity, and speed; escape with clear evidence rather than treating legal interpretation as binary.
• Partner with Engineering, Data/ML, Design, Research, Safety, Policy, Legal, and adjacent Product teams to ship durable solutions at Reddit scale.
• Define success metrics and launch guardrails, monitor false positives/negatives and user friction where relevant, and iterate based on data and qualitative feedback.
• Communicate strategy, risk, decisions, and progress clearly to senior stakeholders, including Product leadership.
