Lead Product Manager, Everand

Scribd, Inc. is hiring a Lead Product Manager to own the Everand app. The role sets the app’s long-term vision and strategy, leads execution across iOS and Android, and improves the reader experience, product quality, and engagement.

Responsibilities:

• Understand Everand's readers deeply: what motivates them, why they stay, and why they leave. Use that understanding in every decision
• Set the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the app on iOS and Android, and own the reader experience on every surface, from first open to their next book
• Lead a squad of engineers, designers, researchers, and analysts, and own execution: set goals, make trade-offs, and ship well-made work on time
• Keep the reader experience human, grounded in readers' taste and the pleasure of reading. Work as an AI-native PM, using AI to speed up research, prototyping, analysis, and building, and bringing it into the product where it helps readers
• Decide where to invest by finding the biggest opportunities to make Everand more valuable, for current readers and for readers we don't reach yet
• Manage a balanced portfolio of long-term bets and near-term improvements. Test ideas with readers early, and measure success by how their behavior changes
• Hold a high bar for app quality, performance, and reliability
• Partner with product, engineering, content, and marketing teams to give readers a consistent experience
• Bring your squad, partner teams, and leadership along on your strategy, and change it as you learn

Requirements:

• 7+ years of product management experience on consumer products, including 3+ years owning a consumer native mobile app used by hundreds of thousands of people or more
• You are obsessed with consumer apps and study how they work. You can explain what makes the best ones good, and it shows in your product decisions
• You understand your audience by what motivates them, and you can point to decisions you changed after time with users
• A track record of moving an outcome metric you owned, such as retention, engagement, or conversion
• Experience leading product through a major change, such as a platform rebuild, a redesign, or a move into a new audience
• Product craft. You work with design from the start, and you've shipped consumer experiences people come back to
• You're AI-native. AI is part of how you work every day, and you have a point of view on where it makes a consumer product better for people and where a human touch matters more
• Experience with A/B testing and research. You set clear metrics and guardrails, and you know when to rely on qualitative research or judgment instead
• Comfort with technical trade-offs, including performance, reliability, and recommendation or personalization systems
• Influence without authority across product, engineering, marketing, and leadership
• Clear writing and prioritization. You can make the case for a bet and for what you'll leave out
• You love books and reading
• Experience with subscription businesses: trials, plans, retention, and churn
• Experience with audio, video, podcast, or reading apps, including players and offline use
• Experience shipping discovery surfaces such as home, browse, search, or personalized feeds
• Experience with community or social features in a consumer product
