Cross-Platform Product Manager

Full-Time Anywhere

We are a remote-first, office-optional team. You are invited to do the best work of your life from anywhere within the USA.

At Animoto, we have always believed video is the most powerful form of communication. The pandemic has made this more true than ever. Small businesses face unprecedented challenges in connecting with their audiences, as consumers are also challenged to connect with friends and family. Video can bring us together.

That’s why our mission is to help anyone make a powerful, professional video. We make best-in-class, easy-to-use web and mobile video creation apps, with pre-built narrative templates and stunning video styles, that help our customers customize their own engaging videos to share on social media and beyond.

Over the next three years, we have a mission to make video creation faster, easier, and more fun, on any device, in ways that have never been done before.

This is a career-defining opportunity for a Product Manager who is passionate about helping small businesses succeed through video marketing, and consumers connect with one another. If you have strong PM practices, are a collaborative leader of multidisciplinary teams, and have experience managing a product that delivers a great UX across web and mobile devices – we’d love to discuss how you can help us.

– Help us discover how web and mobile apps can complement each other to engage users in the right way, at the right moments, to help them succeed at video marketing
– Take our product to the next level, using emerging technologies (computer vision, ML, AI) to deliver a simple, personalized, magical video creation experience to millions of users
– Define and manage a product roadmap that will help us reach our growth goals
