Senior Product Manager

Job description

# About MUBI MUBI is a global streaming service, production company and film distributor dedicated to elevating great cinema. To make this possible, we create, curate, acquire and champion visionary films, bringing them to audiences all over the world. We have a team of brilliant, dedicated and passionate people to help bring our mission to life. From London to New York, Istanbul to Paris, and Berlin to Mexico - we work together to realize MUBI’s vision. That’s where you come in! Join our global team and help us make great cinema accessible to everyone, everywhere. # About the role This is a senior, hands-on product role for someone who wants to own a meaningful slice of the MUBI product end-to-end, and is at their best when the problem is still ambiguous. You’ll own the Audience & Platform Expansion domain - a critical product surface for our next phase of growth. In this role, you will be responsible for building the scalable foundation to drive global subscriber acquisition and pioneer our tiered premium offerings. You’ll own its strategy, its roadmap and its delivery, from a high-level business goal all the way to a shipped, measured feature. The hardest product problems at MUBI cross team and time-zone boundaries, and break down without someone holding the whole picture; this role exists to be that person for one of these domains. Reporting to our Senior Product Director, this is a senior, individual contributor role. You'll lead through clarity and influence rather than headcount - aligning engineering, design and data scientists around a vision they actually believe in, and mentoring/coaching other, more junior PMs as you go. We care about craft, in the films we champion and in the products we build, so the bar is product excellence and real user impact, not shipping for its own sake. We work hybrid-remote where we require 3 office days in Soho, London (if you're in commutable distance from London). Our core days are Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday, with the flexibility to use our offices on the remaining two days if you wish. ## Where you'll have impact You'll own a product surface that leadership relies on, translating ambiguous, evolving priorities into a roadmap teams can execute against - and giving the business a crisp, honest read on what's working, what isn't, and what needs a decision. As you build credibility through delivery, you'll set the standard for how product strategy is articulated and defended at MUBI. Concretely, you'll: - Translate business goals into clear, actionable product roadmaps, and own the sub-strategy for a specific MUBI area (e.g. onboarding, content/catalogue discovery, monetization, or viewer experience). - Guide technical products through the entire lifecycle - from conception, through development, into launch - and iterate after. - Partner directly with Engineering, UX/UI Design, Data Science, Marketing, Business Development and Legal to define product requirements and resolve trade-offs. - Establish the KPIs and OKRs for your area, and use data-backed insight to iterate quickly and demonstrate measurable impact. - Pitch roadmaps to senior leadership to guide resource allocation, and align engineering, design and analytics teams without relying on direct hierarchy. - Write narrative strategy memos and present complex visions clearly - to senior leadership and engineering teams alike. - Mentor other team members and raise the bar for product thinking around you. ## What you'll bring - You've spent significant time shipping complex technical products end to end, and you're happiest owning a problem from the messy, ambiguous start rather than picking up a tidy backlog. You bring structure where there is none - a clear strategy, sharp prioritisation, honest measurement - without becoming a source of process for its own sake. - You're technically fluent enough to hold your own with strong engineers: you can translate an ML model, a streaming architecture or a latency constraint into a business trade-off a stakeholder can act on, and tell a real architectural limit from a convenient one. - You're an excellent communicator who can flex between an engineer and an executive in the same hour, equally comfortable writing a strategy memo and defending it in a leadership review. - You lead through influence - aligning people across functions, regions and time zones around work they want to do. ## Qualifications & Expectations ## - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Design, or equivalent practical experience. - 8+ years in product management or a closely related technical role, with at least 3–5 years focused on shipping complex technical products from 0 to 1. - Strong business judgment and strategic thinking - able to see the big picture and make connections across teams and issues. - Technical acumen: the ability to translate highly technical engineering constraints (machine learning models, streaming architectures, latency) into clear business trade-offs for non-technical stakeholders. - Deep domain fluency in identity and access management, subscription management, billing and monetization, and data processing - with the ability to debate architectural and technical trade-offs. - A proven ability to lead cross-functional teams through influence rather than direct authority. - Exceptional written and verbal communication, including narrative strategy writing for senior audiences. - Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment. - Experience with AI tools, and AI prototyping - A deep alignment with MUBI's culture and values: craftsmanship, product excellence, a bias toward high-impact work, and genuine respect for the user. *We want to make cinema accessible to everyone. We believe people from different backgrounds bring different ideas that foster innovation and engagement, allowing us to attract great people to develop the best experience for our users.* *MUBI is committed to being an Equal Opportunity Employer.
