About the Role:
Cantina is hiring a Product Manager to work across multiple product surfaces, including onboarding, storylines, content discovery, and retention.

What You’ll Do:
Own product execution across multiple surface areas including onboarding, in-feed, discovery, storylines, and retention, carrying features end-to-end from requirements through launch
Write clear, production-ready specs and requirements that give design and engineering what they need to move without repeated clarification

Design, run, and readout on A/B tests; make data-informed recommendations on what to ship, iterate, or kill
Collaborate daily with design on UX flows and review implementation for quality and spec fidelity
Maintain a living sense of what is working and what is not across your product areas, and bring recommendations to the roadmap proactively
Come up with new ideas and consistently push the boundaries of what AI can do!
What You’ll Bring:
3-5 years of product management experience at a mobile consumer or social platform
Track record of shipping features end-to-end in close partnership with design and engineering teams
Strong analytical instincts; comfortable owning product health metrics, running experiments, and deriving conclusions from data without a lot of hand-holding
Clear, direct written communication; can write a tight spec that leaves no ambiguity
Experience with product analytics tools such as Mixpanel/Hex or equivalent
Familiarity with design collaboration in Figma
Comfortable with Jira or equivalent sprint/project tracking
Travel may be required up to 10% of the time
