Product Lead (Contract) at Jumpspeak. Location Information: Anywhere in the World. . . Headquarters:. Miami . URL:. . https://www.jumpspeak.com. . . . . The Problem We're Solving. . Most people who try to learn a language quit. Not because they're lazy, but because traditional apps optimize for streaks and gamification instead of actual conversation skills.. . We're building something different: a language learning experience that gets people speaking from day one and keeps them coming back because they're actually having conversations, not just completing lessons.. . The Opportunity. . You'll own the core product experience for Jumpspeak—the app that hundreds of thousands of learners use to gain real conversational confidence in new languages. This isn't about managing a team or attending strategy offsites. This is about shipping features that directly impact whether someone can order coffee in Paris or negotiate a deal in São Paulo.. . You'll work directly with our CEO and small product team to shape what language learning should feel like. Not through 50-slide decks, but through rapid experimentation, user interviews, and data.. . What You'll Actually Do. . Own the Product. (not just a feature). . . You are the DRI for our mobile app experience end-to-end—onboarding, lesson design, conversation practice, retention mechanics. . Define what success looks like, then build and iterate until you hit it. . Make the hard tradeoffs between what users say they want and what data shows they need. . Ship weekly, not quarterly. . . Solve Real Retention Problems. . . Figure out why learners stop showing up and fix it (hint: it's not gamification). . Design learning experiences that create genuine progress, not just dopamine hits. . Balance pedagogical effectiveness with engagement—you can't teach someone who's not there. . Run experiments on lesson structure, difficulty curves, conversation formats. . . Go Deep on User Psychology. . . Spend serious time talking to users—the ones who love us, the ones who churned, the ones stuck on lesson 5. . Understand what makes someone willing to feel stupid while learning a language. . Design for moments of breakthrough ("I just had my first real conversation!"). . Know your user segments cold: why does a 40-year-old professional learn differently than a 22-year-old traveler?. . . Work Cross-Functionally (But Stay in the Driver's Seat). . . Partner with engineers to scope what's possible vs. optimal. . Collaborate with our Head of Creative Strategy to align product experience with acquisition messaging. . Work with content/pedagogy team on lesson design—you own the experience, they own the curriculum. . Ship features that growth can actually leverage. . . Use Data, Don't Hide Behind It. . . Analyze cohort retention, feature adoption, session depth metrics daily. . Run A/B tests on everything—lesson length, conversation formats, UI patterns. . Know when to trust the data and when to trust your judgment. . Build simple dashboards that show what's working (and what's dying). . . Think International From Day One. . . Consider how features work across languages, cultures, learning motivations. . Design for markets we haven't entered yet. . Understand that "conversation practice" means different things in Tokyo vs. Madrid. . Work with localization to make experiences feel native, not translated. . . You Should Apply If. . You Have:. . . 5-8 years in product management, with at least 3 years shipping consumer mobile products. . Track record of measurably improving retention or engagement metrics (tell us the numbers). . Experience at a consumer subscription app or freemium product (you understand the funnel). . Comfort writing specs, running experiments, and working in Figma/analytics tools yourself. . Technical knowledge and experience to communicate and understand fully what the engineering team requires. . Experience using some Figma or other design tools to effectively communicate what you need. . Shipped features used by 100k+ people. . . Bonus Points:. . . You've learned a language (successfully or unsuccessfully—both teach you something). . EdTech or learning product experience. . Worked on international products or marketplace dynamics. . Experience with AI/conversational interfaces. . Background in linguistics, education, or behavioral psychology. . You've built for both engagement AND learning outcomes (these often conflict). . . You Are:. . . Comfortable with ambiguity—we're still figuring out what works. . Opinionated but not dogmatic—strong convictions, loosely held. . Willing to be wrong quickly so you can be right eventually. . User-obsessed but data-informed (not data-paralyzed). . Low ego about whose idea ships, high ego about quality. . Energized by shipping, not by talking about shipping. . . You Should NOT Apply If. . . You want to manage a team right away (that might come, but not day one). . You need perfect specs before building. . You think your job is to write PRDs for others to execute. . You're looking for a "strategic" role (this is hands-on). . You want to work on 10 things at once (you'll own 2-3 big bets). . You need enterprise software stability (we move fast and break things occasionally). . . What Makes This Role Different. . You'll Have Real Ownership. . . This isn't a "Product Manager 2" role where you own a button—you own the experience. . Direct access to CEO and ability to influence company strategy. . Authority to kill features or experiments that aren't working. . Your work shows up in the app people use every day. . . You'll Solve Interesting Problems. . . How do you teach conversation without it feeling like a chatbot?. . What's the right balance between structure and flexibility in learning paths?. . How do you make someone feel progress when language learning is inherently slow?. . Can you build one product that works for 18-year-olds and 60-year-olds?. . . You'll Work With Sharp People. . .
