Raya is building a better social internet. Our mission is to be the best platform in the world for high-quality, trusted, authentic connection. We bring together a curated global community and create an elevated experience where members can discover and make meaningful connections they can’t find elsewhere, built around trusted recommendations and our core values of trust, creativity, and reciprocity.
We are seeking an experienced Product Manager to join our Core Membership Experience team, owning critical parts of the member lifecycle with a particular focus on payments. Member Experience owns the journey from application and onboarding through activation, subscriptions, renewal, and reactivation. This role will own the experiences that turn accepted applicants into members and make it seamless for members to start, manage, and reactivate their membership, with payments sitting at the center of that journey.
The ideal candidate has 4+ years of product management experience building consumer subscription products, with deep experience in iOS payments and subscriptions, including Apple StoreKit and third-party payment providers such as Stripe. We are looking for a hands-on product manager who enjoys getting into the details, works closely with engineering, design, and data, and takes ownership from identifying a problem through shipping and measuring the solution.
We offer comprehensive medical and dental coverage, $50 a day food delivery budget, equity based employment, a great culture, learning opportunities, unlimited vacation, 12 weeks paid parental leave, and we pay all employees $1,000 a year to go somewhere in the world that they’ve never been because of our values of human connection, empathy, and curiosity.
