Staff Product Manager, Moderation

Details

Reddit is seeking a Staff Product Manager to define the future of moderation on Reddit. The role focuses on supporting moderators, reducing the burden of running healthy communities, and evolving moderation from reactive manual work into proactive, intelligent, and scalable systems. This position leads zero-to-one product work at the intersection of user-facing experiences, community governance, and LLM systems.

Responsibilities

• Identify high-impact opportunities to evolve community enforcement and moderator workflows, and turn them into a clear product strategy and roadmap.
• Lead the zero-to-one development of LLM-powered moderation experiences that support the global growth of healthy communities.
• Build a deep understanding of moderators, community members, and healthy community dynamics, and translate those insights into high-quality product experiences.
• Define success metrics and model/product evaluation criteria connecting user value, community health, and Reddit's broader strategy.
• Reason about AI/ML quality, including precision, recall, error costs, coverage, latency, failure modes, human review, and feedback loops.
• Assess high-stakes tradeoffs involving community health, moderator trust, user trust, safety, and product quality.
• Partner with Engineering, Data Science/ML, Design, Safety, Consumer, and senior leaders to drive execution.
• Communicate strategy, decisions, tradeoffs, and learning clearly to executive stakeholders.

Requirements

• Staff-level product experience owning meaningful consumer surfaces or systems with measurable user impact.
• Exceptional product sense across user intuition, problem framing, prioritization, UX judgment, and product taste.
• A track record of leading ambiguous zero-to-one or major product-evolution work from strategy through launch and learning.
• Experience building AI/ML-powered products, with fluency in model evaluation and product/model tradeoffs.
• Strong analytical judgment, including defining metrics, interpreting evidence, and changing direction when needed.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership with Engineering, Data Science/ML, Design, Safety, and partner teams in ambiguous, technically complex environments.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with community, social, creator, user-generated content, trust and safety, or moderation products.
• Experience with ML-heavy consumer surfaces or policy-sensitive AI experiences.
• Experience replacing mature systems with a new product paradigm in complex, matrixed organizations.

Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare benefits and income replacement programs.
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Global benefit programs covering workspace, professional development, and caregiving support.
• 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.
