Summary:

As a Sr. Product Manager on our SMB team, you will own the core experience of our applicant tracking system for employers, with the opportunity to rethink how it is structured and how it works.

This is one of the areas of the business where we can test and learn the fastest, so you'll have room to ship often and move quickly.

Key Focus Areas:

• Act as an Owner: Take full accountability for your product domain, from high-level KPI setting to the nuances of daily execution.
• Reimagine the ATS: Own the core ATS experience and lead the rethink of how it is structured and how it works to improve customer value and product effectiveness.
• Drive Employer Engagement: Own the metrics for employer review and response rates on the platform, and build the experiences that move them.
• Launch the Employer Mobile App: Own the development of our employer mobile app, from vision and roadmap through launch and iteration.
• Run rapid experimentation: You will test frequently and ship a steady stream of product improvements, taking advantage of an area where we can move faster than almost anywhere else in the business.
• Obsess over your metrics: You will have a deep understanding of the funnels and conversion rates that drive your product area, and you will use data to size opportunities.
• Voice of the User: Serve as the voice of the SMB customer to the rest of the team, constantly talking to your users, doing product discovery, and conducting user research.
• Champion AI-Driven Development : Lean into ZipRecruiter's AI-first DNA to build personalized, proactive experiences that act like a personal recruiter for every job seeker.

• Business Owner Mindset: You operate like a business owner. You take a lofty goal and figure out the best plan to achieve it.
• Deeply Analytical: You are a data-obsessed problem solver who studies funnels and conversion stats, sizes opportunities with data, and interrogates the "why" behind the numbers.
• Collaborative and Fast-Moving: You thrive working side by side with design and engineering, and you want to move fast, ship a lot of product improvements, and run rapid experiments.
• Customer-obsession: You love speaking directly with your users and personally conducting customer discovery and research.
• Systems Thinking: You balance deep customer empathy with systems thinking, and can see both the individual user's experience and how the whole product fits together.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Mobile Product Experience: Previous experience launching or scaling a mobile app.
• Marketplace Experience : Previous experience at a two-sided marketplace (e.g., jobs, real estate, rideshare), where your work on one side had to account for outcomes on the other.
