Product Manager - remote

Adblock, Inc. is a small team that serves tens of millions of people worldwide. Our vision is to provide our users with simple, intuitive tools to block distractions, protect their privacy, and put people in control of their internet experience 

Our products—AdBlock, Adblock Plus, and AdBlock VPN—have been downloaded hundreds of million times and work in all major web browsers, as well as on macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android devices. 

Our team has been fully remote since its inception, and we each work from whatever location works best for us. What unites us is a desire to make it easier and safer for our users to browse the web. 

We're searching for a seasoned Product Manager to help us grow and innovate. In this role, you'll lead the development and upkeep of our core services. Your job will include building our user account system (also known as identity management system) and improving our backend platform to better serve the wide-ranging needs of our organization. 

This role demands a solid grasp of how users interact with accounts, along with the ability to incorporate ongoing customer feedback and discover new opportunities. You'll work with teams from engineering, marketing, data analytics, and customer support to bring this vision to life. You'll also be identifying and integrating third-party technologies that could speed up our product roadmap. 

Although this role is centered around core services, there's likely to be chances to work on other important projects in the future, like user-facing features that tackle user distraction, privacy, and security. 

• 3+ years of product management experience, ideally (but not required) with some time spent on identity management and backend work.

• Experience with market research to understand user needs and industry trends.

• Demonstrable knowledge of product management methodologies and tools, like Scrum, Agile, and others.

• Ability to create product roadmaps and set realistic timelines.

• A deep understanding of customer journey mapping to improve user experience.

• Experience successfully launching software products (ideally consumer-facing products, but not required) and features with marketing, design, and engineering teams.

• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.

• A proven track record of turning user feedback, customer conversations, and survey results into product features that users love.

• Analytical thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.

What You Can Expect:

• In your first month, you'll get familiar with our product suite and users. You'll start building relationships with team members across the company and begin working on a strategy for our core services.

• By your third month, you should have made significant progress on our user account system and be working with the engineering team to meet our platform-related needs.

•By month six, the user account system you've been developing will be noticeably enhanced, directly addressing user challenges and opportunities. Having helped establish a robust backend platform, you'll be set to explore further enhancements to our core services, always keeping user needs at the forefront. 

•After you’ve been here for a year, your contributions will have significantly improved our core services, with a robust, user-friendly user account system and a versatile backend platform. You will have effectively integrated key third-party technologies, accelerating our development cycles and boosting product capabilities. Your continued leadership and innovation will play a vital role in guiding the future evolution of Adblock's product line.
