Why This Role Stands Out
Leverage your product leadership to define and drive the core experience for a rapidly growing platform with 40 million users. This impactful role offers significant career growth within a unicorn company recognized for innovation, with a competitive salary of $200,000. You'll thrive here if you are a strategic product leader passionate about shaping user experiences and driving meaningful outcomes.

About NewsBreak

If you’re inspired to dream big, innovate fast, and make a difference, we’d love to hear from you! For more information, visit www.newsbreak.com/about
Why this role exists
The core product has no dedicated PM. Experience work is scattered across non-product teams and has long been aimed at “reduce negative feedback volume” — a defect metric with no established causal link to retention. This role is not just another shipper; it's someone who defines the right goal for experience work.
What you'll own
- Feature definition, PRDs, and cross-team delivery for the core NewsBreak app
- The For You feed experience — including how and when local verticals enter the main feed
- Rebuilding quality triage: rank experience issues by predicted churn impact, not complaint volume
- Scaling directions the Lead PM has validated
- Managing one existing PM
What we're looking for
- 5–8 years in consumer product with a solid shipping record
- You can quote real post-launch numbers — and explain the gap versus your forecast
- Preferred: feed or recommendation experience on a large-DAU product
- You run your own analysis and design your own experiments
- You've killed features on purpose — deciding what not to build matters as much as what to build
- People management experience
First 90 days
- Produce a list of experience issues ranked by predicted churn impact
- Replace “negative feedback volume” as the operating goal
- Close the loop end-to-end on one or two high-priority issues
