Company mission
To bring couples closer. Because once the honeymoon glow fades, even the strongest relationships can get weighed down by life—whether it’s communication slip-ups, the never-ending mental load, or intimacy taking a back seat. That’s where we come in.
Role
Who you are
- Substantial experience as a product manager in consumer apps, preferably at the intersection of product and growth
- Proven ability to lead hands-on, driving results both through direct product development and by applying strong end-to-end strategic thinking and execution
- Deep commitment to understanding customer needs and using that empathy to shape product strategy
- Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with a talent for influencing and aligning cross-functional teams. You excel at bringing people together to get things done
- Track record of building products in fast-moving environments
- Skilled at managing multiple initiatives simultaneously, adapting to different stages of development
- Keen eye for design and a passion for crafting experiences that users love
- Strong analytical mindset with a data-driven approach to decision-making
- Passionate about our mission to expand the reach of relationship care to more people
- Must reside in the UK or Spain and have the legal right to work there (we are unable to provide visa sponsorship)
What the job involves
- As a Senior Product Manager at Paired, you will own the Connection pillar - the backbone of the Paired product - helping couples to interact in various ways to foster mutual understanding and connection
- You will work closely in a cross-functional team including engineers, designers, analysts and content experts, along with stakeholders in other areas of the business, to solve complex problems for couples and increase long-term retention
- This is a unique opportunity to work on an emerging category, bringing a product loved by millions of couples to the mainstream while working with colleagues who have extensive experience shipping top-grossing apps
- Help couples stay connected: Shape the Connection strategy, designing and refining ways for couples to connect to boost long-term retention while ensuring that we deliver a seamless customer experience
- Personalise the experience: Leverage cutting-edge technologies to build a highly tailored, curated experience that ensures every couple feels supported and no two journeys are the same
- Be data-informed: Conduct user research and analysis to generate insightful user-centric hypotheses for testing, aimed at improving engagement and long-term retention
- Learn fast: Define learning goals and KPIs, set up the right validation methods (from fact-finding to A/B testing) and develop a strong intuition for improving metrics
- Be a team player: Support occasional cross-functional partner requests for campaigns and strategic projects while maintaining a strong focus on outcomes
- What this role is not: We are not looking for incremental thinkers. We expect the successful candidate to truly empathize with couples needs and challenge the status quo
Application process
- Application review (qualifications, experience, and motivation)
- First interview - Meet with Anna, our Head of Product, to discuss the role and your suitability in further detail
- Task - We’ll send you a task to complete at home to assess your practical skills
- Team interviews - The final step involves interviews with different team members you would be working with on a day-to-day basis
Our take
With 1 in 4 couple relationships being ‘distressed’ and the vast majority of these distressed couples not getting support (either because it’s taboo, unaffordable, or inconvenient) Paired brings relationship support to all couples via a fun, expert, and affordable mobile app. Paired is different to traditional couples therapy as it targets the full spectrum of couples who want help building intimacy, resolving conflict and improving communication.
Paired works with expert relationship academics and therapists. The company combines tips from these experts with fun daily questions, games and quizzes that partners answer together. It prompts partners to take the small, positive steps needed by couples to improve their relationship each day.
The founding team has a deep expertise in building top-grossing mobile apps such as Memrise and Peak, which should give them an edge in creating a widely adopted user-friendly app. An app targeted towards existing relationships stands out as an innovative concept compared to the numerous dating apps already on the market.
Paired is growing rapidly, recently passing more than 250,000 daily active users. Alongside this, it tripled its team size in 2022 and has won plaudits for its app, including the 2020 Google Play Award in the Personal Growth category and the Apple Store's App of the Day in January 2023.
