About this role
At Yubo, Product Managers have real ownership. They work in strong partnership with Product Designers and Engineering, shaping strategy and decisions from problem definition all the way to delivery, with direct and visible impact on both the product and the business.
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to form that partnership with a Product Designer: a duo jointly responsible for the end-to-end experiences you ship together. You'll take ownership of a strategic product area, identify the biggest opportunities, and turn them into clear product bets on a product used by millions of people.
We're moving away from small, isolated feature launches toward bigger, end-to-end experiences tested at scale. You'll combine user understanding, data and strong product convictions to frame problems, shape solutions with Design and Engineering, and decide what to scale, iterate, or stop.
You'll also work closely with Data, Machine Learning, Brand Marketing and Trust & Safety on challenges ranging from recommendation and discovery to retention, safety, monetization and AI.
This role is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and who wants their decisions to have a visible impact on both user experience and business outcomes.
To make this dream duo work, we’re basing this role in Paris and looking for someone willing to come to the office once or twice a week.
