Product Manager R&D

RemoteMiddle

We are looking for a proactive Product Manager to join our team — someone who takes full ownership of the product from day one and is ready to build it from the ground up. Your main mission is to launch and grow a mobile app in EdTech niche, turning early traction into a scalable, retention-driven product.

This is a hands-on role where you'll work closely with design, engineering, content, and the GM to ship fast, experiment constantly, and make data-informed decisions at every step. You'll define the roadmap, own the metrics, and directly influence revenue.

If you're excited to shape the future of a fast-growing R&D product in a high-revenue niche, and love experimenting, iterating fast, and driving real revenue impact — join us. This is a rare chance to join a product at a strong growth stage with real budgets, real impact, and clear vertical growth potential.

What you'll do

Own the full product lifecycle — from discovery and hypothesis formation through spec, build, and post-release analysis
Identify and attack the core retention challenges in a subscription model — understand why users could leave and design interventions that keep them
Design and run rapid A/B experiments across onboarding, paywall mechanics, trial experience, and pricing — with a clear link to conversion and LTV
Build and iterate the post-payment product experience: create habit and perceived value early, before the trial window closes
Define and track the key product metrics that matter — not vanity metrics, but the ones that predict revenue
Work with UI/UX and engineers to translate product decisions into shipped features quickly
Collaborate with the GM on growth strategy, funnel optimization, and new monetization experiments
Lead the mobile app from 0 to launch: user research, feature scoping, roadmap, and team coordination as we scale
Conduct ongoing competitive analysis and track how the market is evolving
Conduct user research: interviews, usability tests, in-app surveys
Bring structure: maintain a living roadmap, run clear prioritization, and keep the team aligned without bureaucracy

What we're looking for

3+ years of product management experience in consumer mobile apps
Strong command of retention and engagement mechanics: you understand why users leave, how to model churn, and what interventions actually work in subscription products
Data-driven by default: comfortable running A/B tests, reading funnel data, defining metrics, and making decisions under uncertainty without waiting for perfect data
Experience with subscription monetization — trial flows, pricing experiments, upsells, paywall design
Hands-on with growth loops and onboarding: you've personally improved activation or retention at a previous company and can explain exactly how
Sharp product sense: you can look at a user flow and quickly identify friction, false promises, or missed value moments
Comfortable operating as a near-solo PM — you can own the full stack (strategy → spec → delivery → analysis) without a PM team around you
User research experience: you've run interviews and usability sessions, not just read reports
Track record of owning a full product area end-to-end, not just shipping features
Good knowledge of English - Upper-Intermediate level or above

Also nice to have

Experience in EdTech, wellness, self-improvement, or other subscription consumer verticals driven by emotional purchase decisions
Exposure to mobile app development cycles from 0 to launch
Familiarity with paid acquisition channels (Meta, Google) and how ad-product feedback loops work — understanding CAC constraints makes for better product decisions
Experience working with AI/LLM-powered features or personalization systems
Background in behavioral psychology, habit formation, or learning science — our product is built on these principles and deeper fluency here is a real edge
