Your role at Kittl

You’ll be establishing the Community team at Kittl, so you’ll have the opportunity to build a product roadmap from scratch, execute on it, iterate, take in learnings, improve, rinse and repeat. You’ll be as close to the user as you can get, in a consumer product that’s acquired millions of users over the past 2 years.

You’ll be leading our new Community team as Senior PM. This team will sit under our Product Growth department, which consists of Acquisition, Activation, and Monetisation product teams. You will form the 4th team in this department - Community. Your team will be responsible for driving user engagement - building habit forming products that increase engagement through strategic product design and a rewarding user experience, like we know it from gaming, or highly engaging learning apps like Duolingo.

Your team will typically consist of several engineers and a product designer onboard.
