[Hiring] Staff Product Manager @Prodege

Role Description

This is an own-a-hard-problem role, not a manage-a-backlog one. Prodege is moving fast and changing fast, and we need a Staff PM who finds that energizing rather than exhausting.

If you want defined scope, a stable roadmap, and a settled set of mechanics to optimize, this isn't your role, and that's okay. But if you're the kind of PM who walks into a messy member-behavior problem and starts diagnosing why the habit isn't forming, who'd rather own the engagement loop outright than tune someone else's funnel, and who moves teams through influence rather than waiting for authority, keep reading.

One thing to be clear about up front: this is a senior individual contributor role. You own a squad's mission and a hard member-behavior problem directly, and you move it through engineering, design, data, marketing, and lifecycle partners without formal authority. If you're looking for a people-management seat, this isn't it, and that's by design.

You'll own the engagement and retention loop on our Consumer Experience (CX) team. CX owns the member journey across our owned-and-operated brands, Swagbucks, MyPoints, and InboxDollars: earning, engagement, and lifecycle. Millions of members come to these products to earn rewards through surveys, games, shopping, and offers. Whether they reach a successful first earn, trust the system, and build a repeat habit is what determines the health of the O&O business.

Your squad is focused on the engagement and retention loop: how members build habits through engagement mechanics, keep coming back, and survive the early-churn window. You lead with influence across the adjacent earning, rewards, and lifecycle surfaces, raising product craft wherever the member experience touches your loop.

You'll report to the Sr. Director, Consumer Product and partner closely with engineering, design, data/analytics, and marketing leadership.

What you'll own:

• The engagement and retention loop.
• Engagement and habit mechanics.
• Influence across earning, rewards, and lifecycle.
• Behavior change, not funnel optimization.
• Craft across the team.

What success looks like:

• In your first 3 months, you've diagnosed why members fail to build a repeat habit, lose trust, or stop earning, earned credibility across engineering and data, and shipped visible improvements to core engagement loops or early retention.
• At 6 months, you own a CX squad with a clear mission, metric, roadmap, and a steady experiment cadence.
• Long-term, you're the senior consumer-engagement voice on CX.

What you'll do:

• Squad ownership and strategy
• Engagement and behavior design
• Influence across the member experience
• Experimentation and outcomes

Why this role is worth your time:

• A real behavior problem to own.
• Named, high-traffic products: Swagbucks, MyPoints, and InboxDollars.
• Staff-level influence.
• The mechanics are yours to build.
• Backed for growth.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of product management experience, with a track record as a strong senior individual contributor.
• True consumer product ownership.
• Behavior-change proof.
• Engagement and gamification depth.
• Rewards and trust judgment.
• Lifecycle judgment.
• Product taste.
• Experimentation fluency.
• Leads through influence.
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with evolving priorities.
• Exceptional communication and the ability to influence senior stakeholders.

Nice-to-haves

• Direct experience with rewards, cashback, points, or loyalty products.
• Background in gaming or social products.
• Experience in consumer subscription, marketplace, or commerce products.
• Familiarity with lifecycle/CRM systems.
• Experience designing for or incorporating AI-powered features into consumer products.

Pay Transparency

The anticipated base salary range for this position is $150,000 to $245,000. The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, short-term disability, long-term disability, and basic life insurance.
• Flexible PTO, plus paid sick leave prorated based on hire date.
• Eight paid holidays throughout the calendar year.
