Senior Product Manager, YouTube Shorts Growth and UI Acceleration

Role Overview

As a Senior Product Manager for YouTube Shorts Growth, you will own top-of-funnel acquisition, activation, and conversion workstreams across YouTube’s core surfaces. You will operate as a quantitative growth leader—diagnosing funnel friction, identifying immediate tactical levers, and designing self-reinforcing growth loops that convert viewer intent into active, habitual short-form viewing sessions.

What You Will Do

Drive end-to-end user conversion funnels across YouTube’s primary surfaces into Shorts, identifying immediate, high-leverage UI and trigger tactics that maximize click-through, session activation, and viewing depth. Design, test, and scale self-reinforcing growth loops, onboarding experiences, and re-engagement mechanics that convert casual or first-time viewers into habitual daily consumers.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will partner with Data Science and Engineering to instrument granular funnel telemetry, dissect cohort-level drop-offs, and model ROI to ruthlessly prioritize tactics that move top-line engagement metrics. Establish repeatable growth playbooks through cross-functional collaboration across core YouTube teams to scale winning UI patterns globally.
