About this role
This Senior Product Manager joins SmartNews's Next-Generation Business Division, which creates new businesses and applications outside the existing SmartNews app. The role owns a product area end to end, from shaping the concept and strategy through launch, improvement, and measuring impact. It covers decisions about what to build, why it matters, and how success will be evaluated.
The work includes user research, market analysis, specifications, user stories, backlog prioritization, sprint planning, prototyping, testing, release, and iteration with engineers and designers. The manager defines roadmaps and KPIs, establishes measures for accuracy, usability, safety, and reliability, monitors engagement and retention, and uses experiments and data to guide investment, changes, or discontinuation. Generative AI tools are part of the stated working approach, with outputs requiring independent validation.
Applicants must have at least five years of product management experience and have owned a consumer product from definition through launch and improvement. The posting also requires proficiency in metrics, experiment design, and data analysis; the ability to discuss technical trade-offs, constraints, and development processes with engineers; and strong written and spoken communication in both Japanese and English.
