Job description

Who We Are

This Gen-Z social platform reaches more than 125 million monthly active users across web and mobile, providing a safe space to be real, curious, and connected through anonymous messaging.

Mode's growing portfolio is entering its next phase of explosive growth, and we're looking for a product-driven General Manager to lead the charge.

The GM will be responsible for shaping and executing a product strategy that deepens user engagement and unlocks new revenue streams. This includes strengthening subscriptions, scaling the newly launched ad monetization program, and expanding the app's user base globally.

We're seeking a leader who combines product instinct, growth expertise, and startup scrappiness, someone ready to run this App as its own high-impact business within Mode.

The Role

The General Manager (GM) will lead Mode's newly acquired Gen-Z social app's business unit, overseeing strategy, product, growth, and operations to drive sustainable scale. This is a hands-on leadership role that blends strategic vision with day-to-day execution and deep product intuition.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the GM will own the entire social app's business, from product roadmap and user experience to monetization and growth. This includes optimizing subscriptions, scaling ad revenue, and day-to-day leadership of a remote team.

The ideal candidate brings a strong product management background, proven experience running high-growth social mobile apps, and the ability to balance creative experimentation with data-driven decision-making. You're as comfortable defining the strategy as you are jumping in to solve tactical challenges, capable of running the whole show.

Who You Are and What You'll Do

Own the end-to-end P&L and growth of the Gen-Z social app's business unit, ensuring balance between user growth, retention, and monetization.

Develop and execute the Gen-Z social app's business unit strategy aligned to Mode's overall portfolio objectives and North Star revenue and profit goals.

Set the product vision, roadmap, and execution rhythm to grow daily active users, retention, and monetization.

Run bold monetization experiments, design, test, and optimize new subscription and paywall models, while scaling ad monetization to unlock new revenue streams.

Lead and scale a small but powerful cross-functional team (engineering, community, design, UA, and monetization).

Turn data and instinct into fast product cycles (build, test, measure, repeat).

Collaborate with Mode's shared teams in Growth, Data, and Product to unlock portfolio-wide learnings.

Champion a culture of experimentation, trust, and accountability while keeping the app's community safe and thriving.

Establish a clear operating rhythm, weekly metrics and monthly business reviews, and quarterly strategy checkpoints.

Serve as the primary interface between the App and Mode's Executive Team, ensuring transparency on progress, challenges, and resourcing needs.

Recruit and retain top talent; ensure role clarity, measurable outcomes, and professional development.

Maintain the Gen-Z social app's brand authenticity and trust while embedding Mode's values.

Uphold compliance with privacy, child safety, and community moderation standards.

What You Bring to the Team

5+ years in Head of Product, CEO, or GM roles and 8+ years of leadership experience in product and growth, within consumer apps or social platforms.

Demonstrated success managing a mobile app P&L and driving user growth.

Built or scaled viral consumer apps (e.g., social, messaging) to serve millions of users.

Deep empathy for users and communities; you understand online social dynamics.

Strong analytical instincts, you care about retention curves and funnel drop-offs.

Excellent communicator with strong product judgment and business acumen.

Calm under ambiguity; thrives in an environment where speed and clarity both matter.

Success in This Role Means

Active user growth with improved engagement and retention.

Meeting or exceeding growth goals (revenues, profits, etc.) over the current baseline.

A cohesive team operating like a startup inside Mode.

Healthy community experience and improved trust and safety metrics.
