Staff Product Manager
Own Rosie's product vision, roadmap, and two-sided marketplace experience from 0→1 as a fractional-to-full-time founding product leader.
About Rosie
Rosie is reimagining care, for families & for caregivers. We created a new category of care: flexible, on-demand childcare and household support, bookable by the hour, backed by a bench of vetted and professionally trained Pros who know your family. We're building the infrastructure that powers modern family life.
The Role
This person will own Rosie's product from the ground up. You'll work very closely with the founders deciding what to build and why, turning a simplified app experience & booking flow into the embedded lifelines for parents and the tools a Pro runs their career on.
You'll set the product strategy and stay close enough to the work to know whether it's landing. At this stage, that means you're as comfortable writing the spec and prototyping as you are reading the retention curve and cutting engineering scope. We're hiring this as a fractional-to-full-time role.
## Who You Are
- Product builder: You've shaped how a product feels, not just what it does.
- Two-sided product thinker: You get that a marketplace needs two products at once.
- Systems- and AI-minded: Rosie is building AI-managed matching, scheduling & management.
- Still in the work: You've led teams, but you haven't lost the ability to write the spec, design with prototypes, or build the data funnels yourself.
- Category-minded: Rosie is building something families & Pros don't have language for yet.
- Calm at seed stage: You make confident calls with partial data.
## What You'll Do
- Own product vision and roadmap
- Own the two-sided experience for families and Pros
- Build the matching engine — matching, availability, and scheduling
- Own the product metrics: activation, retention, session quality, reliability
- Set the measurement foundation (instrumentation, experiment discipline)
- Ship the 0→1 for new cities
- Build the team
## Basic Qualifications
- 7+ years of product experience, including time leading the function or owning a major product area end to end.
- A track record shipping 0→1 or early-stage consumer product.
- Hands-on fluency across the whole build — discovery, spec, design, prototyping and shipping.
- Strong product judgment and taste.
- Comfort with product analytics, funnels, and experimentation.
- Ability to work from Seattle on a hybrid basis, or remotely with travel at least once a quarter.
## Preferred Qualifications
- Prior 0→1 or founding product experience. Ex-founders, early operators, and to-be-founders very welcome.
- Experience with consumer marketplaces, two-sided platforms, or parenting and care products.
- Experience building AI- or ML-powered products, especially matching, scheduling, or automation with a human in the loop.
- Open to starting fractional and growing into a full-time founding seat.
Compensation
Competitive salary plus very competitive equity in the full-time seat. If we start fractional, we'll set a retainer and scope up front, with a clear path to the full-time role. Benefits include healthcare, vision & dental, ORCA cards or travel reimbursement, and discounted Rosie memberships.
