Sr. Product Manager, SMB

Summary

We are expanding our SMB Product team and hiring two Senior Product Managers to lead high-impact product areas within the SMB business: Candidate Delivery products and Proactive Sourcing. These areas power a significant portion of ZipRecruiter’s employer value today and collectively drive tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in business impact.

As a Senior Product Manager, you will own the product vision and execution for one of these two areas, partnering closely with Engineering, Design, Data Science, and cross-functional stakeholders to build and scale experiences that improve employer outcomes and drive business growth.

This posting represents two distinct Senior Product Manager roles within the SMB Product organization. Following your hiring manager interview, we will align you to the product area that best matches your experience, strengths, and business needs before advancing through the remainder of the interview process.
