Senior Product Manager - Paris Yubo

Who we are

Yubo is the instantly social, social app: the leading real-time social discovery platform where you can meet new people for friendship, crushes and community. Our mission is to help young adults find community - whoever they are, wherever they are and whenever they feel social. That's why we’re building a more spontaneous and human social world, one based on interaction, exploration and possibility.

We've pioneered a new way for Gen Z to socialize online, and with millions of active users, our goal is to redefine how we connect today and tomorrow. Our team is international, multicultural and deeply committed to its mission.

As the leading platform to socialize online, we have a special responsibility to build a safe digital space for our community. Safety is embedded in our DNA, and our proactive approach focuses on user protection, support, and education.

We also work closely with the broader technology industry to share our knowledge and NGOs create industry-leading child protection standards.

Join us in this exciting journey and help us shape the future of social interactions!

About this role

At Yubo, Product Managers have real ownership. They work in strong partnership with Product Designers and Engineering, shaping strategy and decisions from problem definition all the way to delivery, with direct and visible impact on both the product and the business.

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to form that partnership with a Product Designer: a duo jointly responsible for the end-to-end experiences you ship together. You'll take ownership of a strategic product area, identify the biggest opportunities, and turn them into clear product bets on a product used by millions of people.

We're moving away from small, isolated feature launches toward bigger, end-to-end experiences tested at scale. You'll combine user understanding, data and strong product convictions to frame problems, shape solutions with Design and Engineering, and decide what to scale, iterate, or stop.

You'll also work closely with Data, Machine Learning, Brand Marketing and Trust & Safety on challenges ranging from recommendation and discovery to retention, safety, monetization and AI.

This role is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and who wants their decisions to have a visible impact on both user experience and business outcomes.

To make this dream duo work, we’re basing this role in Paris and looking for someone willing to come to the office once or twice a week.

Your responsibilities

• Own a strategic product area from problem definition through delivery and post-launch iteration

• Define product strategy and translate company objectives into clear priorities and measurable outcomes

• Partner closely with Product Design and Engineering to shape end-to-end experiences rather than isolated features

• Turn opportunities into bold product bets, measure their impact, and decide whether to scale, iterate, or stop

• Collaborate with Data, Machine Learning, Brand Marketing, Trust & Safety, and Legal to make informed product decisions

• Balance user value, business impact, safety, and technical constraints when making trade-offs

• Create alignment across stakeholders through clear problem framing, strong product conviction, and structured decision-making
