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
Local life runs on local information. What happened down the street? Who can fix this? Where should we go tonight? NewsBreak started in 2015 to answer these questions, and today more than 40 million people a month rely on us to follow what’s going on in their zip code.
Three platforms with one vision: powering local life. Led by founder and CEO Jeff Zheng, NewsBreak is our local life and news platform; Nearby AI connects people with local businesses; and NDot AI helps publishers and creators grow and earn.
Building for the long term. A $115 million Series C made us a unicorn in 2021, and we keep investing in our people. We’re Great Place to Work® certified and named to Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators (2025) and Fortune’s Best Workplaces in the Bay Area™ (2026).
Everyone makes an impact. Whether you write code, shape products, tell our story, or run the business, we want people who own projects end to end, stay curious, and speak up. Join us.

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
