Principal Product Manager - Bumble Date
At Bumble, our mission is to create a world where all relationships are healthy and equitable - and Bumble Date sits at the heart of that ambition. This is where millions of people come to spark meaningful connections, and where thoughtful product decisions can shape how relationships begin and grow.
Define and drive the strategic roadmap for Bumble Date, translating long-term vision into clear, prioritized product outcomes - measurable changes in member behavior, and holding the team to those outcomes through delivery
Bring together Engineering, Design, and Data into a cohesive product development approach, ensuring alignment from discovery through to delivery while role-modeling collaboration with purpose
Run continuous discovery as a weekly habit - sustained customer contact, opportunity mapping, and assumption testing - to identify and prioritize the unmet needs that most move connection quality, safety, and engagement
Tackle the four product risks - value, usability, feasibility, and viability - early and cheaply, using prototypes and lightweight tests before committing engineering capacity
Use AI as a core part of your product craft — prototyping concepts, generating hypotheses, synthesizing research, and drafting artifacts — while applying judgment around user trust, fairness, and transparency
Embed AI into product development workflows - from generating hypotheses and drafting product requirements to synthesizing insights and iterating on solutions - while applying thoughtful judgment and care
