Senior Product Manager, In-App

Americas Remote

Hello! I’m LJ, Director of Product Management at Customer.io.

I’m looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our Messaging Channels team. You'll take ownership of empowering our customers—mostly marketing and growth teams—by giving them the tools they need to connect with their users through the right messaging channels. From in-app and website messages to SMS, push notifications, email, and emerging channels like WhatsApp and RCS, you’ll be driving innovation to make sure our customers reach their audience in the most effective way.

At Customer.io, we help companies craft personalized messaging strategies to foster meaningful customer engagement. Your role will be key in unlocking new communication avenues, guiding customers in multi-channel strategies that engage their users in a respectful, personalized manner, and expanding our offerings in this rapidly evolving landscape.

This role is perfect for someone passionate about developing messaging solutions that scale and adapt to the latest trends, while ensuring the user’s experience remains seamless and non-intrusive. If you’re eager to partner with design, engineering, and marketing to launch industry-leading features that connect businesses with their audiences, this is the opportunity for you!

Some things you'll do

  • Lead the Messaging Channels team in achieving strategic outcomes by developing solutions that are:
    • Valuable: Used and loved by our customers.
    • Viable: Fit within our business and technical constraints.
    • Usable: Easy for our customers to implement and use.
    • Feasible: Implementable by our engineering team.
  • Develop a deep understanding of multi-channel messaging, including push notifications, SMS, in-app messaging, email, and upcoming channels like WhatsApp, RCS, and more.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to build innovative tools that enable our customers to orchestrate messages across channels.
  • Stay on top of industry trends and guide the strategic direction of our messaging channels, focusing on growth opportunities.
  • Advocate for user privacy and preferences, ensuring we respect how, when, and where end-users want to engage.
  • Work with leadership to align on product vision, roadmaps, and long-term strategy, driving impact across teams and projects.

What we’re looking for

  • Ability to work overlapping hours with GMT-8 to GMT-5 time zones.
  • 5+ years of product management experience, ideally with messaging channels or multi-channel communication platforms.
  • Strong experience in MarTech, growth marketing, or messaging automation tools (experience with Customer.io or similar platforms is a plus).
  • Demonstrated success in building products from concept to delivery, starting with a compelling vision and executing in iterative steps that prioritize learning and delivering customer value.
  • A proactive communicator, and collaborator, who believes in “working out loud” to share work early and often.
  • Curiosity and a passion for emerging messaging trends and technologies like RCS, WhatsApp, and in-product inboxes.
  • An infectious energy when sharing customer stories, used to align the team around the customer’s experience.
  • Experience navigating ambiguity and taking ownership of problems even when the next steps and solutions aren't clear.
  • An excellent writer who values clarity and brevity while avoiding jargon.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
