At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), we believe reading is more important than ever. Join our cast of characters as we build the world’s largest and most fascinating digital library: giving subscribers access to a growing collection of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, documents, Scribd Originals and more. In addition to works from major publishers and top authors, our community includes over 1.4M subscribers in nearly every country worldwide.
The product team is looking for a driven, innovative, and experienced Product Management leader. This is an exciting opportunity to make a big difference. Scribd is different from other subscription companies both because of the breadth and depth of our content library as well as the extent of our organic global user base.

The Senior Content Product Manager will have an opportunity to make a foundational impact on the product experience by shaping the various ways that our content is discovered and consumed.
Our goal is to connect users to the most compelling content from our vast and growing library. (We have over 100 million user-generated documents alone!) To do this at scale and for an international user base is a big challenge.

- Define the success metrics by partnering with other cross-functional leaders
- Prioritize opportunities where data can be leveraged to drive business outcomes

- Identify and prioritize data requirements - deciding how and what data is required and making tradeoffs to achieve short and long term business impact
- Be a partner and thought-leader for managing our current and future content corpus
- Help shape the experience of cross-content discovery
- Use data to develop priorities and assess results while also demonstrating a deep understanding of customer needs and wants
