Product Manager, Ecosystem Relevance

Details

Reddit is looking for a Product Manager to lead Ecosystem Relevance, focusing on new user experiences, content and community quality, and community coherence. The role involves shaping relevance systems for users with limited personalization data, identifying worthwhile content and communities, and improving recommendations in partnership with ML engineering, data science, research, and consumer product teams.

Responsibilities

• Improve relevance for new users through cold-start recommendations, interest exploration, and early personalization.
• Develop definitions, signals, and evaluation methods for content and community quality, including usefulness, originality, authenticity, and user feedback.
• Strengthen community coherence by improving alignment between community topics, surfaced content, and user interests, intent, and expectations.
• Identify opportunities for new, emerging, and niche content and communities to reach suitable audiences.
• Partner with engineering on candidate selection, ranking, exploration, diversity, and repetition controls across consumer experiences.
• Build a measurement framework covering early retention, satisfaction, successful discovery, negative feedback, downstream participation, and community health.
• Lead behavioral analysis, user research, controlled experiments, roadmap prioritization, and cross-functional execution.

Requirements

• Experience shipping consumer products in recommendations, discovery, search, personalization, growth, or community ecosystems.
• Strong product intuition for new users and an understanding of how early experiences influence retention and long-term participation.
• Analytical depth, including the ability to define metrics, interpret experiments, investigate heterogeneous effects, and distinguish short-term engagement gains from durable improvements.
• Fluency in recommendation systems and experience partnering with ML engineers and data scientists on signals, objectives, and evaluation.
• Understanding of ecosystem dynamics, including feedback loops, exposure allocation, content supply, and the relationship between audience growth and community health.
• Ability to translate concepts such as quality and community coherence into clear product requirements and measurable outcomes.
• Strong execution and cross-functional influence, with the judgment to navigate tradeoffs among personalization, exploration, quality, and ecosystem health.

Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare benefits and income replacement programs.
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Global benefits supporting workspace, professional development, and caregiving.
• Family planning support.
• Gender-affirming care.
• Mental health and coaching benefits.
• Flexible vacation and paid volunteer time off.
• Generous paid parental leave.
• Eligibility for equity in the form of restricted stock units and, depending on the position offered, possible commission eligibility.
