Lead Product Manager
Phone calls should be secure, engaging, void of fraud and robocalls. The phone app is the most outdated app on your smartphone. The phone network is the largest social network in the world and it lacks a trust and engagement layer. You should know who's calling you and why! You should get the calls that are relevant to you (at that time) and none of the ones that aren't. Hiya is building the modern layer for the phone call experience. We enrich calls for more than 100M+ people. Those include users of our apps, owners of Samsung phones, and subscribers of AT&T. Are you ready to help us get the next 900M users?
We are hiring an experienced product manager to lead an exciting and bold initiative. We live in a time of nuisance and fraud robocalls, yet, there are many calls you want to get. You want to know when the delivery will arrive. You want your bank to alert you when there is unusual activity on your account. You want to answer the phone when your kid’s school is calling telling you they got hurt.
Hiya Connect is a product for businesses to be able to identify themselves when they are calling consumers. It provides in-depth analytics and insights into their calling operations. And, it protects them from having their name or phone number exploited for fraudulent activity. As the Lead PM, you'll work with these businesses to understand their needs to help them succeed.
