About Babylist

About the role

Babylist serves nearly a million expectant parents every year through one of the most trusted registry experiences in the market. Wishlist is the next chapter — a product that keeps families connected to Babylist well beyond the newborn phase, giving parents of young children a simple, intelligent way to guide gift-giving for birthdays, holidays, and everything in between. This PM will own the product end-to-end: vision, roadmap, and execution.

What they're looking for

  • You've built something from 0 to 1 — a product, a company, or a line of business. You've lived the uncertainty, the false starts, and the iteration, and you don't need a playbook to get moving
  • You think like a general manager, not a feature owner. You understand how a business like Babylist makes money and which levers actually move it, and you make roadmap calls with the unit economics in mind
  • You build engagement and growth loops. You understand activation, retention, and the push/pull triggers that bring users back around moments that matter
  • You're obsessed with customers. You talk to users directly, synthesize fast, and let what you hear actually change what you build
  • You can prioritize across a multi-sided product. Parents want simplicity, kids have preferences, gift-givers need guidance. You weigh all three without defaulting to whoever's loudest
  • You default to action in ambiguity . Faced with an unclear problem, your instinct is to try something and learn quickly. People who've worked with you would say you just get things done

You'll run it like a general manager: accountable for the customer experience and the business it builds.

This is a multifaceted job. Be the best Staff PM your team has ever worked with: opinionated, customer-obsessed, outcome-owning, force-multiplying. And help Babylist make the transition into AI-native product development by modeling what an AI-native PM does every day — in your own work and in the standards you set for the team around you.
