What you’ll do (responsibilities)
Big Bets Project Owner (CJKI Scope)
- Own end-to-end product strategy, execution, and outcomes for major initiatives
- Translate global product vision into actionable, market-appropriate solutions for CJKI
- Define MBR metrics (input, output & guardrails) and continuously track impact
Product Strategy & Decision-Making
- Rapidly build deep understanding of user behavior and pain points in whatever domain or market you’re deployed to
- Make high-quality decisions under uncertainty, even with incomplete data or insights
- Balance global consistency vs. regional differentiation, clearly articulating trade-offs
Cross-functional Collaboration & Influence
- Partner closely with Growth, Subscription, Homepage, Brand, Design, Infra, Data, Marketing, and other teams
- Quickly building credibility with new partners each time you move onto a new initiative
- Drive alignment and execution without direct reporting authority
- Communicate progress, risks, and key decisions clearly to senior stakeholders, including Big Bets leaders
Experimentation & Iteration
- Reduce uncertainty through A/B testing, phased rollouts, and experimentation frameworks — grounding every experiment in a clearly articulated intent and hypothesis, with input metrics, outcome metrics, and guardrails defined upfront rather than after the fact.
- Learn quickly, iterate rapidly, and strike the right balance between speed and quality, treating every result — positive or negative — as a source of durable learning rather than a simple ship/no-ship verdict
What we're looking for
Must-have
- 5–8+ years of Product Management experience, with ownership of high-impact, cross-functional initiatives
- Strong experience in Growth or Monetization, with a demonstrated track record of being able to move across multiple product domains rather than staying only in a single lane — you're energized by picking up new problem spaces quickly, not just going deep in one.
- Strong structured thinking: breaks down ambiguous problems with rigor, reasons through edge cases and second-order effects before committing to a direction, rather than jumping straight to a solution
- Clear communicator and documenter: translates that thinking into thorough PRDs, tailors messages to the audience, and stays organized — tracking work in Jira and keeping stakeholders proactively updated
- Strong data fluency, able to combine data and user insights to drive decisions
- Deep understanding of at least one CJKI market (China / Japan / Korea/ India), with the ability to scale insights beyond a single market
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders you haven’t worked with before
- Actively uses AI to amplify their own output and impact — from speeding up research to prototyping and finding new ways AI can extend what one PM can cover across multiple initiatives — rather than treating AI as optional or someone else's job
- Fluent in English and comfortable working in a global context
Nice-to-have
- Experience with product growth, ecommerce, or subscription domain
- Proven success handling regional differentiation and localization in global products
- Background in B2C or Product-Led Growth (PLG) environments
