Technical Product Manager, Mobile (contract)
We believe that phone calls should be secure, engaging, void of fraud, and robocalls. We believe the phone app is the most outdated app on your smartphone, that the phone network is the largest social network in the world and it lacks a trust and engagement layer.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 already serve over 120M users worldwide directly through our apps and in partnership with handset makers like Samsung and mobile carriers like AT&T.
We are hiring a temporary Technical Product Manager to help manage our partner experience apps. These include the AT&T Call Protect app on Android and iOS, our Samsung integration app, and our SDK. It will be your job to support our engineers and guide our partners in delivering these apps to ours and their standards of quality.

- Facilitate software engineers & other team members' access to the resources & information for them to do their job
- Keep everyone focused on the team objectives to guarantee team velocity and alignment with company goals
- Use data, where available, to make the best decisions for us and our partners, and when not available, use your intuition built upon your previous experiences
You don't have to check all the boxes, but we think these are important requirements for this role:
- You have at least 5 years of experience as a technical product manager delivering mobile products, both iOS, and Android
- You have worked with external partners and are proficient at keeping communication lines for dependencies alignment and delivery
- You have worked at a startup (
