About Customer.io

Over 9,000 companies — from scrappy startups to global brands — use our platform to send billions of emails, push notifications, in-app messages, and SMS every day.

About the role

Hi, my name is Megan Berry, Senior Director of Product Management at Customer.io, and I'm looking for a Product Manager to improve how customers experience their first weeks with us. Our self-serve business is a growing part of how customers discover and adopt Customer.io, and this role sits at the center of that motion, working alongside our Senior PM on the self-serve pod. You'll have real ownership over a defined slice of the journey, with the data, experimentation muscle, and cross-functional partners to move it.

What we value

• Customer empathy — you dig into what's actually slowing customers down, not just what the dashboard says.
• Bias to experiment — you'd rather run a test than debate an opinion.
• Clear communication — you make complex tradeoffs easy for others to follow.
• Ownership without ego — you drive your area forward and know when to ask for help.

What you'll do

• Own the product experience of the self-serve journey for a defined set of surfaces — from signup and onboarding through activation and upgrade.
• Find and resolve friction points using data, experimentation, and customer insight.
• Define and track success metrics for activation, retention, and monetization.
• Partner with Marketing, CX, and Design to keep the experience consistent across touchpoints.
• Work with Engineering to scope and deliver improvements that reduce time-to-value.
• Run A/B tests and growth experiments to find what drives conversion and engagement.
• Communicate priorities and progress clearly across teams and leadership.

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of product management experience in SaaS, ideally with self-serve or product-led growth exposure.
• Experience using or developing AI-powered tooling in your product workflow
• A track record of improving activation or retention metrics.
• Strong analytical and experimentation skills — data-driven but comfortable with ambiguity.
• Experience collaborating across Product, Marketing, and CX.
• A clear communicator who simplifies complexity and drives alignment.
• Deep curiosity about what helps customers succeed.
• Comfort working autonomously in a remote, async-first environment.
