About the Role
We're looking for a highly technical, product-obsessed Director-level leader to take full ownership of the product vision and roadmap for a fast-growing consumer mobile app. This role exists to decide what the product becomes — leading a cross-functional team of around ten people to scale from 100K to 1M+ monthly active users.
You'll be the driving force behind product strategy, working at the intersection of consumer mobile, AI-generated content, and rapid experimentation. If you thrive in high-growth environments and have a track record of shipping products that people love, this is your opportunity to shape the future of a TikTok-style mobile experience.
What You'll Do
- Own the entire product vision, strategy, and roadmap for a consumer mobile app
- Lead a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and data specialists
- Drive growth from 100K to 1M+ MAU through data-informed decision-making
- Run live A/B tests and experiments that move headline metrics like retention and conversion
- Make technical trade-offs with engineering around mobile and backend architecture
- Define product strategy for a creation-first, UGC-focused application
- Manage non-deterministic AI pipelines and their impact on QA and release planning

Bonus Points For
