Principal Product Manager, Moonshots

This role can be based in Sunnyvale, San Francisco, or New York City.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

We’re hiring for a Senior Product Manager to join the Moonshots team at LinkedIn. We’re the team that works on radical bets to try to change how economic opportunity is created in the world (like LinkedIn Games!). We operate like a startup, but with the scale of the world’s largest professional network. We work on the type of stuff that makes people go “wait, what?!”

If you’re the type of PM who thrives just as much in dreaming up and executing crazy ideas as you do in managing complex growth funnels, you’ll do well in this role. We’re looking for someone who has experience successfully building and scaling 0 → 1 initiatives, always looks at the glass half full, and thrives in organized chaos. Experience building and scaling social/mobile games is a big plus.

• Lead product development from ideation through launch, including writing PRDs, creating functional specs, and setting clear priorities. 
• Define, track, and hyper-optimize key performance indicators (KPIs) for your product areas.

Basic Qualifications:

• BS degree in a technology-related field or equivalent experience
• 10+ years of experience in a product management or equivalent role

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience building and scaling social/mobile games

• Strong analytical skills and ability to execute complex product launches
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with an ability to synthesize and simplify complex technical subjects for technical, non-technical, partner and executive audiences alike
• Exceptional ability to lead cross-functional teams. Experience working with a set of highly skilled engineers, data scientists, and designers.

Suggested Skills:

• Zero to one products
• Growth
• Mobile games
