Senior Product Manager, Notifications
Getting together with real people in real life makes powerful things happen. Side hustles become careers, ideas become movements, and chance encounters become lifelong connections. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities.
We are looking for an experienced product leader to drive Meetup’s notifications strategy, products and platforms. Given how increasingly notifications-centric our product is and how it is evolving, you will truly shape the future of Meetup and how we activate, engage, and retain our members and organizers. You’ll play a pivotal role in defining Meetup’s notification roadmap and work closely with our design, engineering, machine learning, and platform teams to ship products that will drive meaningful interaction with our users, on and off the Meetup platform.
Our Product Manager for Notifications will oversee product for our various notification channels, including push, email, and text as well as notifications that are delivered in-product. You’ll define and advocate for a product strategy for notifications that is closely tied to business objectives and work closely with a team of world-class engineers and designers to build delightful experiences for our members and organizers. You should have proven experience in developing world-class communications and notifications systems that have a major impact, as well as a proven track record of execution at best-in-class tech companies.
You’ll have the opportunity to showcase your product development lifecycle expertise while you:
- Generate ambitious and well-designed product ideas from concept to launch, balancing a focus on detail with big picture vision.
- Manage, refine, sequence, prioritize and execute your product team's roadmap.
- Motivate your team members to work together seamlessly while advocating the team’s needs to the rest of the company.
- Coordinate across product, design, data science, strategy, and engineering teams and collaborate with management, customers, partners and other staff members as needed.
- Plan user testing and split testing, communicating with team members to discover individual and group needs and obtain feedback on recently launched projects.
- Gather information and requirements, identify and track the most relevant metrics for our notifications products, track past projects, and identify new and exciting ways to optimize them.
- Become an internal advocate for and expert on Meetup’s notifications systems as well as the larger user experience and platform.
Our ideal candidate will possess:
- Proven experience as a product manager for communications / notifications systems at a consumer-facing, mobile-centric company (social networking and agile, start-up environment preferred).
- Deep understanding of current notifications related frameworks and technologies, on mobile, web, and off-platform as well as general proficiency with mobile and web technologies, standards, and evolving trends.
- Expertise and success in using team-based, agile software development concepts that drive iterative, data-driven launches.
- Strategic and holistic approaches to problem-solving that balance and prioritize short-term solutions with long-term vision.
- A strong entrepreneurial spirit and the ability to rally internal support for fresh ideas.
- Inventive design and usability senses and a capacity to step into a user's shoes and advocate accordingly.
- Superior leadership, motivational, and interpersonal skills.
- Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills.
- Unbridled enthusiasm for coordinating, connecting, and collaborating across teams and cultures!
Our team is bold, supportive, and passionate about bringing people together in real life to create community for everyone. We care about moving fast, real-world change, and building diverse, dynamic teams. You in?
