About the role

  • This role is the authority on recommendations and discovery at Babylist.
  • You hold the quality bar, set the one-year horizon, and operate as the foremost expert on the space inside the company.
  • You shape how the whole company thinks about personalization.

Responsibilities

  • We build products that positively impact millions of people's lives
  • Your application and interviews should still reflect you and your own thinking.
  • These tools support our team's review; they do not replace it, and every hiring decision is made by a person.

Requirements

  • You are a demonstrated product leader who has spent meaningful time inside ML-powered consumer products.
  • You have owned a recommendation, personalization, and/or discovery surface end-to-end at scale - and you have the scar tissue to prove it.
  • You have shipped recommendations, search, ranking, or personalization systems in a consumer-facing product.
  • You know the failure modes and the diligence required to ship ML responsibly.
  • You know that early ML investment is about getting the right reps on a small number of bets, not shipping breadth.
  • You hold a strong, opinionated view of the product and you know when to update your priors.
  • Deep customer expertise.
  • You are fluent in the business.
  • You have intuition for what current models are good and bad at.
  • You are humble, low-ego, and biased toward action.

Nice to have

  • Strategy, KPIs, quality bar, impact, the hard tradeoffs.
  • You are the person the rest of the company looks to when a question about discovery or recommendations has to get answered.
  • Set the one-year horizon for product personalization at Babylist.
  • Articulate where we should be a year from now, defend the sequence of bets that gets us there, and update with conviction and speed when evidence demands.
  • Be a true peer to the ML EM.
  • Set technical and product direction together.
  • Help shape the modeling, data, and evaluation infrastructure that makes the next five years of work possible.
  • Translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical direction the ML team can act on.

Compensation

  • $214,057 to $256,885 + target 20% annual bonus and competitive equity.
  • Your starting salary will be based on your location, experience, and qualifications, with increases over time tied to performance, role growth, and internal pay equity.
  • Competitive pay and meaningful opportunities for career advancement

Benefits

  • Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts
  • Generous paid parental leave and PTO
