Senior Product Manager, Connection Team

Wikimedia is looking for an experienced product manager (contract) for the Connection team in our Product department to cover for a parental leave. The Product department builds the wiki experiences that enable our communities to achieve our vision: a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. This is an opportunity to have a tremendous impact with one of the most beloved parts of the internet. Wikipedia is one of the most popular media properties in the world, visited by over 1 billion people a month across over 300 different languages. All this knowledge is created and managed by more than 200,000 volunteer editors. The Connection team aims to provide contributors with moments of motivation, recognition, and connection to create a more meaningful contributor experience. Our main projects have been focused on building software to help event organizers and participants collaborate with each other and understand their collective impact. With this as our foundation, we are now ready to think more holistically about investing more in the moments that create meaning for our volunteers, motivating them to keep coming back. As the product manager with the Connection team (contract), you will work with community members, researchers, engineers, and designers to deliver on the contributor strategy, with a focus on making the contributing experience more meaningful. This is a contract position to cover a parental leave (4 months with a potential to extend to 8 months). This role reports to the Group Product Manager, Contributors. Candidates must be available for critical meetings and synchronous work between 15:00 UTC and 18:00 UTC.
