Our team is international, multicultural and deeply committed to its mission. As the leading platform to socialize online, we have a special responsibility to build a safe digital space for our community. Safety is embedded in our DNA, and our proactive approach focuses on user protection, support, and education. We also work closely with the broader technology industry to share our knowledge and NGOs create industry-leading child protection standards.

About this role

Why now? We’ve just transitioned to a squad-based organisation built around six specialised squads: Growth, Monetisation, Trust & Safety, Data Platform, Mobile Experience, and Infrastructure & Reliability. To keep execution fast and outcome-driven across these squads, we’re opening a Head of Product role.

Where you sit. Reporting to the CTPO, you will help build and lead a team of 6 Product Managers (2 already at Yubo, 1 recently hired, and 3 yet to recruit) embedded across the squads above. You’ll own the entire product life-cycle, from discovery to delivery, while shaping company-wide strategy alongside the executive team.

Your responsibilities

• Champion outcome-driven roadmaps: define squad missions & KPIs, make sure each PM fully owns a problem space and validates the solution’s value, feasibility and impact before any build begins.

• Institutionalise a rigorous discovery → delivery operating system: roll out a structured discovery framework (interviews, prototyping, testing) and keep refining sprint planning, product reviews and OKR tracking so squads ship the right things, fast.

• Coach and grow the PM team: hire and onboard talent, redesign the leveling framework, craft clear career paths and provide ongoing mentorship and feedback to at least seven PMs.

• Orchestrate cross-functional execution & storytelling: align Engineering, Design, Data and Business stakeholders around one plan, maintain crisp documentation and narrative that keep everyone focused on outcomes.

• Measure what matters & course-correct: track product KPIs, ensure quality, diagnose gaps quickly and pivot when outcomes (not just outputs) fall short.

Our technical environment / Tools we use

• Squad-based, continuous discovery & iterative delivery model

• Notion for roadmaps & specs

• Analytics / experimentation: Amplitude, Looker, dbt, Airflow

• Design & prototyping: Figma

Who you are

• 8–10 years+ in Product Management with at least one consumer-tech scale-up (50–300 people).

• 4 years+ of direct experience managing Product Managers (teams of 3 PMs or more), with a track record of developing talent and scaling product organisations.

• Proven success working in cross-functional, squad-based organisations and in fast-paced, iterative cultures.

• Mastery of product discovery techniques, KPI definition & tracking, and writing strategic product narratives.

• Skilled at instituting company-wide processes, aligning stakeholders, and coaching PMs through feedback and mentorship.

• Outstanding strategic thinking, user empathy, storytelling, and decision-making under ambiguity.

• Tool-savvy (Notion, Jira, Looker, Amplitude) and comfortable balancing growth, monetisation, user delight and trust & safety.

The recruitment process

• Phone screen with a TAM

• First interview with CTPO

• Technical test and debrief 

• Culture Fit interviews
