Staff Product Manager, Youth

Details

Reddit is looking for an experienced Product Manager to help build safe experiences for younger users while preserving a high-quality consumer experience. This role owns ambiguous, zero-to-one product problems at the intersection of consumer product, safety, identity and age assurance, and global regulation. The Product Manager will work with Legal and cross-functional partners to determine requirements, frame options and tradeoffs, and ship scalable experiences that can adapt as laws and expectations evolve across markets.

Responsibilities

• Own strategy, roadmap, requirements, launch, and measurable outcomes for Youth product initiatives.
• Build and evolve age-assurance and third-party age-verification flows, including recovery and appeal experiences for incorrectly classified users.
• Develop youth-specific product protections and controls, including age-gated content experiences, parental-control flows, and appropriate restrictions on notifications, personalization, or chat where required.
• Translate changing global regulations into objective product frameworks, clarifying must-haves, deadlines, consequences, country exceptions, and viable product options with Legal and Policy.
• Make principled tradeoffs between compliance, user experience, product value, technical complexity, and speed; escalate with clear evidence rather than treating legal interpretation as binary.
• Partner with Engineering, Data/ML, Design, Research, Safety, Policy, Legal, and adjacent Product teams to ship durable solutions at Reddit scale.
• Define success metrics and launch guardrails, monitor false positives, false negatives, and user friction where relevant, and iterate based on data and qualitative feedback.
• Communicate strategy, risk, decisions, and progress clearly to senior stakeholders, including Product leadership.

Requirements

Must-Have Qualifications

• Significant product management experience building and launching consumer products at large scale.
• Demonstrated zero-to-one ownership, including framing ambiguous problems, setting strategy, writing requirements, shipping, learning, and iterating.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and ability to negotiate high-stakes tradeoffs with Legal, Engineering, Data, Safety/Policy, and senior stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and first-principles problem-solving skills, with the ability to distinguish legal requirements from interpretations and convert ambiguity into decision frameworks.
• Experience launching products across multiple markets or navigating meaningful market-specific requirements.
• Strong written and verbal communication, including concise articulation of options, risks, rationale, and recommendations.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Direct Trust & Safety, youth safety, child or teen product, age assurance or verification, verified-account, or parental-control experience.
• Experience with youth-focused or high-safety consumer products at high scale.
• Experience with content access controls, safety systems, notifications and personalization, messaging and chat protections, or other regulated consumer features.
• Familiarity with ML or model-based classification and the product implications of false positives, false negatives, appeals, and verification fallbacks.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary range: $217,000–$303,900 USD per year.
• Eligible for equity in the form of restricted stock units.
• Depending on the position offered, may also be eligible to receive a commission.
• U.S.-based employee benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) program with employer match, generous vacation time, and parental leave.
• Reddit is an equal opportunity employer and provides reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans.
