Senior Product Manager, Paired

Paired is full of amazing people! Everyone is dedicated to creating a valuable product experience for our customers. The team also strives to foster our team spirit; we share knowledge, support each other in our work and genuinely love to engage with each other.

I joined Paired because of the mission. Our romantic relationship with our partner is a huge part of our lives. I'm proud to work for a company that develops a modern approach to keeping relationships happy and healthy.

We know that unique perspectives enrich our company, our culture, and our product. Ultimately, our app should serve all couples, and the more diverse we are, the better we can create an app for different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities that is inclusive of all genders and sexual orientations.

At Paired I have the great opportunity to work with a bunch of people you can really learn a lot from! It's a super easy-going environment with lots of potential to grow both professionally and on a personal level. Also, it's tons of fun!

Giving input is always welcomed within the team, and I never felt my opinion was unvalued or disregarded. Also, receiving feedback feels very constructive.

There are always new projects we start and new things we want to test, which normally leads to a busy schedule. However, one thing I really appreciate is that I always have the flexibility to organise my time and follow my own schedule. Also, the team has always been very understanding any time I had to take a few hours off for non work related things.

The company is growing very fast, so there's plenty of opportunities to learn and take on more responsibilities. Management is very supportive, you're encouraged to step out of your comfort zone, and I've learned a lot as a result.

I love being part of an app that's all about keeping relationships happy and healthy! It's great to see the difference we can make to couple relationships, some of the user feedback generally makes my heart melt.

I can't shout loud enough about the talent in this team – and what has been so striking to me is the willingness of team members, at every level and of every different skill set, to share their knowledge with other members of the team. Plus – they're all friendly and generally hilarious. We're a hard-working team, and there's a LOT to do ... but we make time to connect either virtually or at company offsites in person, and that makes such a difference to work culture.

The work at Paired starts with outcomes rather than outputs, ensuring our motivations for doing things are clear. We make our work together enjoyable and friendly and infuse fun into what we put out into the world. Our job is quite experimental, taking calculated risks, so we don’t stop testing and learning.

Aim for 80/20 We make trade-offs so we can do more with less We figure things out and are inventive

We are accessible to all cultures, sexual orientations, and ethnicities. We are kind to each other and to our user

Prior to joining Paired, when I was recruiting for a new company, my only two search criteria were (1) friendly people, and (2) a meaningful mission. Right from my first interview, Paired demonstrated this, and I was hooked! Fast forward many months and I can say my decision to join Paired is well and truly validated. This place is full of amazing people who are welcoming, supportive, and highly respectful to one another. I finally feel like I am at home with my work.

Knowing that the work we do is helping couples to improve their relationship is highly satisfying - this is a job I am proud to tell my friends and family about :)

Success in our work means a net-positive benefit for society at large - there is no need for a hidden agenda or ulterior motive. The relationships space (post-dating) is also new in the world of apps, and so there is plenty of room for creative thinking in terms of working out how best to crack it! In my role I have had the opportunity to be involved very strategically in shaping the direction of Paired, whether that be new product ideas, feedback on features, or deciding target markets to focus on.
