About the role

We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to drive retention: getting families off to a great start with Tin Can and keeping kids calling the people who matter, week after week. It's arguably the highest-leverage product problem we have, and right now no one's running it full-time.

  • Excellent judgment around user trust, quality, and long-term tradeoffs, especially building for kids and the parents who trust us
  • Ability to move work forward with little oversight, while partnering on strategy

This role spans more of the product than most PM jobs. Driving connection might mean improving the app one week, rethinking how voicemail works, or proposing a new accessory the next. You'll work closely with the Head of Product to set direction on retention, and you'll own execution end to end — building the backlog, shipping the work, and using what you learn to propose what's next. As you prove out the area, we expect your...
