Role
Who you are
- We are a user-facing product team, and we are looking for someone who wants to help users monetize their everyday activities - not just through mobile, but increasingly via web experiences as well
- You are passionate about the problem that most people don’t have enough money, are in debt, and are looking for ways to earn and save. You care about your users
- You’re a self starter and thrive in ambiguity. You may not have the answers, but you know how to ask questions and take the first step. You don’t get stuck in first gear
- There’s no task you’re not willing and able to take on; scrappy and resourceful two adjectives you use to describe yourself
- You can confidently say “no” or “not yet” and “here’s why.” You can prioritize based on alignment to goals, impact, risk, complexity and effort
- You value learning directly from users about what matters to them and developing solutions to their problems
- You can deftly balance user and business needs - maximizing both business value and user experience
- You rely on all forms of insight to identify problems and opportunity areas: business metrics, qualitative and quantitative data, competitive analysis, leadership and stakeholder feedback
- You’re able to expertly own the entire all parts of the product lifecycle: from discovery, validation, experimentation, continuous delivery, and measurement
- You can work closely with UX Designers to develop solutions that are thoughtful, intuitive, and helpful
- You work collaboratively with your engineering team to define detailed product epics and stories supporting delivering on objectives as measured by key results
- You have experience in delivering high-quality, responsive web experiences that scale, and can lead product development across both mobile and web platforms
- You’re comfortable working in both 0 to 1 products with a high degree of ambiguity and optimizing existing products to drive growth and scale
- You deliver on your goals. You are responsible and accountable for your actions and decisions, and you take ownership of the outcomes
- 5+ years of professional product management experience, making critically important business and product decisions in an agile environment, delivering mobile applications to end-users, preferably with an earn reward focus
- 3+ years of experience owning a product discovery process from idea to validation experimentation to launch. Passionate about learning directly from users
- Past experience in monetization, digital advertising, affiliate marketing, in-app currencies, and reward-based applications is extremely valuable
- Experience building and scaling native Android applications
- Experience managing web-based product experiences or platforms
- Familiarity with web analytics and optimization tools (e.g, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Mixpanel web events)
- Experience collaborating with multiple stakeholders and cross-functional disciplines
- Experience utilizing data analysis tools: Mixpanel, Google Spreadsheets
- Strong use of analytics, user research, and business cases to drive decisions and improve products
- Strong understanding of system design. Bonus points for familiarity with AWS, Rails, Node.js, and data storage
- Exceptional written and oral communication skills
- Exceptional organizational and analytical skills
- Alignment with our core values

Our take
Mode Mobile delivers a pioneering approach to gamification in its flagship product, Mode Earn Phone, as well as its rewards-based Mode Earn App. Customers can acquire this smartphone at a budget-friendly price point, allowing them to utilize it as they would any other mobile device while also offering the potential to earn upwards of $1,000 annually through various interactive methods.
In a digital environment increasingly saturated with gamified applications, Mode Mobile has set itself apart by applying this concept to an entire mobile device. Since its inception in 2020, the company has rapidly attracted a substantial user base, numbering in the millions. The trajectory of its user base growth is closely watched, as it presents a groundbreaking shift in the way mobile devices are used and valued.
While Mode Mobile's strategy may raise eyebrows due to its potential to further increase mobile device usage and data entry, proponents argue that given the extensive time users spend on their devices and the wealth of data generated, it's a logical step to leverage these activities for financial gain. With a strong start, Mode Mobile can gear up to expand its team and introduce additional products, setting sights on disrupting the entire mobile market.
