About the job

The YouTube Youth team builds responsible and fun experiences for kids and families, creating an awesome YouTube experience for the next generation. Our team (within the broader Youth organization) focuses on parent-supervised experiences, which includes not only YouTube Kids but also our supervised experiences on regular YouTube for tweens and teens, across mobile, web, and TV platforms.

As a Product Manager working on the Supervision Experience Lifecycle, you will look for opportunities to simplify our offering, making it easier for parents to find, understand, and adopt our offerings, and also ensure that kids and teens continue to have age-appropriate experiences as they get older.

In this role, you will help build the next set of YouTube features that will make a difference for kids, teens and parents, around the world.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with UX Design, Engineering, UX Research, Marketing, Legal, and other cross-functional partners.
• Identify opportunities to simplify our offerings, increasing parent comprehension and adoption.
• Introduce delightful features for kids and teens using our supervised experiences.
• Drive launches that help parents graduate kids to more age-appropriate experiences when they are ready for them.
• Assess performance of your launches via experimentation, user research and other analytical modeling. Iterate to drive further hypotheses and ideation based on insights.
