At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), we believe reading is more important than ever. Join our cast of characters as we build the world’s largest and most fascinating digital library: giving subscribers access to a growing collection of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, documents, Scribd Originals and more. In addition to works from major publishers and top authors, our community includes over 1.4M subscribers in nearly every country worldwide.

The product team is looking for a driven, innovative, and experienced Product Management leader. This is an exciting opportunity to make a big difference. Scribd is different from other subscription companies both because of the breadth and depth of our content library as well as the extent of our organic global user base.

We have a unique opportunity to help our subscribers find and enjoy a wide variety of media through the use of both proven and cutting edge technology, bringing high-quality content at a fair price to readers around the world.

The Senior Content Product Manager will have an opportunity to make a foundational impact on the product experience by shaping the various ways that our content is discovered and consumed.

Our goal is to connect users to the most compelling content from our vast and growing library. (We have over 100 million user-generated documents alone!) To do this at scale and for an international user base is a big challenge.

Define the success metrics by partnering with other cross-functional leaders
Prioritize opportunities where data can be leveraged to drive business outcomes

Be a partner and thought-leader for managing our current and future content corpus
Help shape the experience of cross-content discovery
Use data to develop priorities and assess results while also demonstrating a deep understanding of customer needs and wants
Connect users to the most compelling content from our vast and growing library. (We have over 100 million user-generated documents alone!)

A person who is naturally a self-starter, can drive an initiative through execution and enjoys working across multiple teams
