Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. ZipRecruiter is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the job seeker profile and application flow. The role focuses on improving profile quality, application conversion and quality, coordinating cross-functional stakeholders, and using research and experiments to improve the job seeker and employer experience.
Responsibilities
- Act as an Owner: Take full accountability for the job seeker profile and apply flow, from setting KPIs across the funnel to the details of individual screens and questions
- Lead through collaboration: Align employer Product, matching and qualification, trust and safety, platform engineering, mobile, messaging, and legal and compliance partners on a shared roadmap. When their requirements conflict, you will set out the tradeoffs clearly, bring people to a decision, and keep everyone informed as things evolve
- Build the profile job seekers want to keep: Decide what we learn about job seekers, how we learn it, and how we use it to make every later step faster and more accurate. Make the value of a rich profile obvious to the job seeker
- Remove friction from applying: Own conversion from a job click to a started application, and from a started application to a completed one. Know where job seekers drop out, why, and what each question and friction point costs
- Deliver applications employers act on: Partner with employer-side teams on driving application quality, and how applications reach employer systems, so that the most interested and qualified job seekers stand out
- Obsess over your metrics: Apply starts and completions, profile completeness and accuracy, and job seeker retention. You will know how each part of the flow moves them, and you will interrogate the why behind the numbers
- Run on experiments: Design, read, and resolve experiments with judgment about long-term marketplace health, beyond the short-term lift in application volume
- Voice of the Job Seeker: Talk to job seekers, run research, and understand the moment of applying from their side: what they expect, what they will tolerate, and what makes them trust us with their information

- You are a data-obsessed problem solver who doesn't just look at dashboards but interrogates the "why" behind the numbers
- You have a passion for speaking directly with your users and personally conducting user research
- You are highly driven and thrive when given the autonomy to drive massive impact
- 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
