Staff Product Manager, Community Builders
Job description
Role Summary
Reddit is a community of communities, built around the conversations, interests, and experiences people share with one another. The Content Ecosystem organization works to grow the community-driven ecosystem that makes Reddit unique. Within it, the Community Builders team focuses on the products and systems that help communities form, grow, and thrive.
We are looking for a Staff Product Manager to help define the future of communities on Reddit. This is a rare opportunity to shape one of Reddit’s most important consumer experiences: how people find communities, understand where they belong, connect with others, and participate in ways that make those communities stronger. You will lead highly ambiguous, zero-to-one product work that cuts across discovery, contribution, community identity, recognition, and emerging community formats.
This is a high-stakes, high-visibility role for a PM with exceptional product judgment, strong user intuition, and sharp UX taste. You will partner closely with Design, Engineering, Data, Research, and cross-functional leaders to turn ambiguous user and ecosystem problems into compelling product direction, moving fluidly from strategy to product detail and from early exploration through launch, learning, and scale.
Responsibilities
- Identify major opportunities to evolve communities on Reddit, and turn them into a clear product strategy and roadmap.
- Lead zero-to-one community experiences from problem definition through launch, learning, and scale.
- Build a deep understanding of members, contributors, community builders, and healthy community dynamics, and translate those insights into high-quality product experiences.
- Assess ecosystem tradeoffs as you evolve the user experience, including impacts to community health, contribution quality, and member trust.
- Define goals, success metrics, milestones, and learning plans that connect user value with Reddit’s broader strategy.
- Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data, Research, and cross-functional teams to make product tradeoffs and execute in a high-stakes, high-visibility space.
- Create clarity where there is little precedent, and communicate strategy, decisions, tradeoffs, and learning clearly to senior stakeholders
Must-Haves
- Staff-level consumer product experience owning meaningful product surfaces or systems with measurable user impact.
- Exceptional product sense, including strong user intuition, problem framing, prioritization, UX judgment, and product taste.
- Track record leading ambiguous zero-to-one or major product-evolution work from strategy through launch and learning.
- Experience shaping product bets across multiple surfaces, user journeys, teams, or parts of a broader consumer ecosystem.
- Strong analytical judgment, including defining success metrics, interpreting evidence, and changing direction when needed.
- Excellent cross-functional leadership with Design, Engineering, Data, Research, and partner teams; able to resolve dependencies and divergent goals with little direct manager involvement.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with community, social, creator, UGC, or marketplace products.
- Experience shaping user participation, identity, contribution, belonging, or reputation.
- Experience evolving mature product systems or designing for multi-sided ecosystems with distinct user needs and incentives.
Benefits
- Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits and Income Replacement Programs
- 401k with Employer Match
- Global Benefit programs that fit your lifestyle, from workspace to professional development to caregiving support
- Family Planning Support
- Gender-Affirming Care
- Mental Health & Coaching Benefits
- Flexible Vacation & Paid Volunteer Time Off
- Generous Paid Parental Leave
