Product Manager (Mid/Senior) - Social Discovery app

About the position

At BlueThrone, we don’t just build apps, we scale indie mobile products into global powerhouses. With 80M+ downloads and 10M+ monthly active users, we’re redefining what’s possible in mobile growth. In just three years, we’ve hit \$10M in ARR, 100% organically, driven by bold bets, five strategic acquisitions, and two successful exits. Our mission: unlock the full potential of iOS and Android apps through sustainable growth and continuous innovation. We’re a team of entrepreneurs, product thinkers, marketing experts and builders who thrive on creativity, speed, and results. With a culture rooted in ownership and momentum, we turn ambition into action and action into scale. We’re looking for a Product Manager to join our social discovery app and help turn a product with strong potential into a clearer, more effective, and more scalable experience. This is for someone who loves messy, high-potential products and knows how to turn chaos into momentum. You’ll thrive here if you’re the kind of PM who gets excited by questions like: Why isn’t this working yet? What’s the real user problem behind this behavior? What actually moves the metric? Can we test this tomorrow? We need someone who can jump in fast, learn the product deeply, and start finding signal across the user experience, in the data, and in the business. This isn’t a “maintain the roadmap” kind of role. It’s a roll up your sleeves and make the product better kind of role. This role is especially exciting for a strong product thinker who wants to work on a consumer product with social dynamics, where data, experimentation, creativity, and commercial thinking all matter, and where product decisions can have a real impact on growth, retention, and how people connect. This isn’t your typical PM role. We’re looking for a builder who thrives in the messy 1→10 or 10→100 stages and knows what it takes to bring ideas to life from scratch. You’ve likely worn many hats before: founder, early employee, product lead. You’ve built things with limited resources, made tough calls, and owned outcomes end to end. You’re not here to optimise a metric in a corner of a giant app. This role is heavy on discovery, judgment, and product thinking. You won’t be handed a polished roadmap or a perfectly documented system. You’ll need to figure things out quickly, make smart trade-offs, and move between high-level strategy and execution detail with confidence. You should be excited by this role if you like ambiguity, autonomy, direct communication, and high ownership. If that excites you, we should talk.

Responsibilities • Own the product experience of one app end-to-end (from user problems and opportunities to shipped improvements), in close partnership with cross-functional teams. • Drive discovery-heavy product work: identify problems worth solving, define hypotheses, explore solutions, and prioritize what matters most. • Bring structure to a product that needs it: improve clarity around what we’re solving, why it matters, and how success will be measured. • Use data to inform decisions: define KPIs, interpret performance, identify drivers, and quantify the likely impact of product bets. • Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data, UA, and Monetization to ensure product decisions are both user-centered and commercially sound. • Propose and shape product initiatives that improve the app’s ability to help users achieve their core needs. • Translate ambiguous opportunities into clear product direction, requirements, and execution plans. • Communicate effectively with people of all levels of seniority. You’ll get people inspired by the product vision, and you’ll share the right context with the right people at the right time. • Improve the efficiency of the product development process, particularly in the ideation, prototyping, and early-validation stages. • Keep a pulse on the competitive landscape and market trends.

Requirements • You’ve shipped successful mobile consumer products in fast-paced, high-growth environments where PMs are expected to drive outcomes without heavy process or layers of approval. Ideally at pre-seed, seed, Series A or VC-backed startups where speed, ambiguity, and ownership are the norm. • You think like a founder because you’ve been one, or want to be one. Startups are your natural habitat. You prefer building from scratch over managing roadmaps inside slow-moving orgs. • You have strong product sense and discovery skills. You know how to identify meaningful user problems, evaluate opportunities, and shape product direction in ambiguous contexts. • You’re passionate about building great products for users, but you can balance user needs with revenue, constraints, and strategic priorities to make the product succeed commercially. • You bring strong analytical rigor. You can define and reason through KPIs, understand what drives core product and business metrics, interpret data confidently and quantify impact and evaluate trade-offs. • You display excellent attention to detail; you can zoom out to strategy and zoom back in to execution details without losing quality. • You start from first principles. You’ve previously built products that tackled long-standing user problems in a new way or otherwise broke from the industry status quo. You’re not satisfied with simply building the same product your competitors offer. • You’re full of novel ideas and creative solutions and can tease them out of others, too. • You bring product sense and design sense in spades, and rolling up your sleeves is your default approach. • You have clear, direct communication and strong stakeholder management. You can synthesize your thinking, explain trade-offs, and push discussions forward.

Nice-to-haves • Experience in social discovery, dating, community, or other network-based consumer products. • Experience building products for Gen Z audiences. • Experience working on or closely with monetization. • Experience with data products, machine learning-driven products, and recommendation algorithms.

Benefits • flexible hours • unlimited time off • the ability to work from anywhere
