Company mission
To put creators in control of their work and their futures by strengthening the bond between them and their communities.
Role
Who you are
- You have 3+ years of product management experience, with a successful track record of launching consumer products that solve real user problems
- You’re scrappy, thoughtful, and driven — you take initiative, ask the right questions, and figure things out when the path isn’t already defined
- You care deeply about product quality and craft — you have a strong eye for UX and can recognize what makes an experience feel cohesive, clear, and polished
- You understand when to use qualitative research, quantitative data, or both — and how to translate those insights into product priorities
- You have excellent communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to influence without authority
- We hire talented and passionate people from different backgrounds because workplace diversity and inclusion is critical to our ability to serve creators worldwide. If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t match with every bullet point outlined above, we strongly encourage you to apply anyway. If you’re a creator at heart, are energized by our mission, and share our company values, we’d love to hear from you
What the job involves
- The Creator Success team is shaping the core experiences that make Patreon the best place for creators to connect with all of their fans and share their creative work
- We’re evolving Patreon beyond a paid-only model into a destination where creators can engage and grow their entire audience. Our work spans a wide range of creator- and fan-facing experiences, including onboarding, content creation, creator pages, and vertical-specific tools
- We’re looking for a Product Manager to lead our Creator World team. In this role, you’ll own the strategy and execution for how creators bring their content to Patreon and how that content is presented to fans
- You’ll focus on making Patreon the best home for our target creators — owning the creator page experience, helping creators showcase their work more effectively, building out video and podcasting tools, and shaping the fan journey from first interaction to long-term engagement
- You’ll work closely with world-class designers and engineers, and partner with go-to-market teams to deliver thoughtful, high-quality product experiences
Our take
Creatives face two major struggles in the online space: getting eyes (or ears) on their work, and getting paid for it. Patreon was founded to solve both problems with a platform that would provide a space for creators to host and promote their work, and offer supporters a way to show their support through a regular paid subscription.
Patreon has been a leader in the content subscription space since its founding, but recently has come under pressure from newer rivals such as Substack and Ko-fi. It has maintained its position by shifting its focus from being primarily a marketplace for supporters to find creatives that interest them to being a toolbox for content creators to promote their work. While the site's creatives value this approach it remains to be seen whether Patreon will be able to return to the growth it was enjoying in previous years.
Despite the inroads made by competitors and a troubling global economic outlook making finances tougher for content creators and their supporters, Patreon is still a leader in its space, with over 250,000 active creators having made $3.5B through the platform.
