Job Description

We are building a new Search & Discovery product organization at Scribd.com, and this role is the founding Director of Product for that group. You will lead the strategy and execution across our recommendations, search, ranking, and discovery experiences. Our corpus spans hundreds of millions of documents, and our goal is not just to help people find files, but to help hundreds of millions of applied learners discover the knowledge inside those documents. You will define how we evolve from traditional search and recs into a real-time, LLM-augmented discovery system that understands user intent, reasons across our corpus, and returns trustworthy, explainable results. This is both a strategic and operational leadership role. You will manage and mentor PM leaders, partner with Engineering, Machine Learning, Applied Research, Design, Content, and Data Science, and establish the discovery roadmap that will shape Scribd.com’s long-term engagement, retention, and subscription growth.

Job Responsibility

  • Set the multi-year Discovery strategy
  • Define and drive the long-term vision for Scribd’s discovery ecosystem, including recommendations, search, ranking, and semantic content understanding
  • Articulate how we move from document-level retrieval to knowledge-level discovery using foundational models and LLMs
  • Align this vision with company priorities in engagement, retention, and subscription growth, balancing foundational ML investments with high-impact product improvements
  • Lead and grow a world-class product organization
  • Serve as the founding product leader for the Search & Discovery group, managing, mentoring, and inspiring a team of product managers across discovery surfaces and platforms

  • Establish durable cross-functional operating rhythms with Engineering, ML, Data Science, Design, Content, and Trust & Safety
  • Build next generation discovery systems using LLMs and ML
  • Oversee the evolution of Scribd’s personalization and retrieval stack, combining semantic embeddings, behavioral signals, hybrid retrieval, and LLM-powered reasoning
  • Partner with ML Engineering and Applied Research to design and ship real-time systems for retrieval, ranking, and evaluation that operate at global scale and under tight latency budgets
  • Lead the development of generative recommendation experiences that help users understand why content is relevant and what they might learn from it
  • Drive real-time intent modeling and personalization that react to user behavior within and across sessions
  • Create AI-forward discovery experiences for learners
  • Own end-to-end discovery journeys, from homepage and feeds to search results and document detail pages, ensuring users confidently find the right content quickly
  • Introduce AI overviews and conversational, question-aware interfaces that help users ask richer questions and receive synthesized, sourced answers grounded in our corpus
  • Champion a rigorous experimentation and metrics culture
  • Define the metrics that matter for long-term subscription value, discovery satisfaction, and content health across Scribd.com
  • Lead a robust experimentation agenda with clear hypotheses, guardrails, and data-driven decision making across discovery surfaces
  • Ensure that LLM and ML driven features ship with clear hypotheses, guardrails, and monitoring, including trust, safety, and quality considerations
  • Influence through clear, compelling communication
  • Develop executive-level narratives that articulate strategy, roadmap, progress, and impact for the Discovery organization
  • Build trusted, collaborative partnerships across global teams, and guide multi-quarter and multi-year roadmaps across time zones and functional groups
  • Communicate tradeoffs and decisions clearly to partners at every level, from engineers and researchers to executive leadership

Requirements

  • 10+ years of product management experience
  • 5+ years managing PM teams or leading multi-disciplinary product groups
  • Demonstrated success owning discovery, personalization, search, or ranking experiences at scale in a consumer technology environment
  • Deep technical fluency in modern ML and AI systems, including retrieval and ranking, semantic embeddings, LLMs, retrieval augmented generation, feature stores, model evaluation, and real-time personalization
  • A strong track record of translating user needs, data insights, and competitive trends into breakthrough discovery features, ideally including ML or LLM powered experiences
  • Proven ability to lead through ambiguity, make strategic tradeoffs, and balance long-term platform investments with near-term business results
  • Exceptional written, visual, and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting to executives and cross-functional partners
  • Experience running large-scale A/B tests, user research, and multi-surface experimentation programs
  • Bachelor’s degree in a technical or related field (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, HCI) or equivalent experience

Nice to have

  • Experience building or leading LLM-powered products, such as AI search, conversational assistants, generative recommendations, or AI overviews
  • Background in information retrieval, recommender systems, or NLP, either in industry or academic research
  • Experience with large UGC ecosystems, marketplaces, or platforms where content quality and trust are central to discovery
  • Experience standing up or scaling a new product group or charter, including hiring and mentoring senior PMs

What we offer

  • Healthcare Insurance Coverage (Medical/Dental/Vision): 100% paid for employees
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave
  • Short-term/long-term disability plans
  • 401k/RSP matching
