Product Manager - Stanza｜Meet.jobs

About the jobCalendar is one of the most used applications globally, second only to email. It is widely used as a utility product for essential tasks you need to do. But what about making time for the things you want to do? What if you could find all of life’s experiences inside your calendar? Stanza connects millions of fans who want to know when things happen with creators who want others to know when things happen. We call this the WHEN problem. From NFL schedules, concerts, TV shows, movie releases, yoga classes, and local community events. Stanza is solving the question of WHEN so you don't have to.

What are we looking for 

Solving the WHEN problem is all about making the calendar a magical, informative, and stress-free experience for consumers while also delivering unrivaled value for creators who host their events on Stanza. In this role, you will define and execute the vision of how creators are onboarded and their path to success - a growing and informed community.

As the product manager, you will be responsible for identifying initiatives tied to our objectives and working with a team of designers and engineers through delivery. The metrics you will own include the growth of our creator base, creator NPS, and creator  user engagement. You will work with your team to derive and review insights from various sources, including existing creators, consumers, session data, and industry trends.

To succeed in this role, you fundamentally believe that Product Design and Engineering should not be siloed but work together throughout the process to build an engaging, beautiful, and intuitive user experience.
