In a world where many social apps measure their success by time spent online, Places offers a different kind of product built by Raya, a technology company focused on providing utility. Our apps, Raya and Places, are tools for discovery of and access to exciting people and places globally. We believe that by marrying great software with a membership-based community built around core values of trust, curation, and authenticity, we can provide solutions that have heretofore been impossible. Places’ mission is to help discerning global travelers find their favorite places wherever they go through expert curation and community trust.

As a Product Manager on Places, you turn product direction into shipped software. You will own priorities and goals set by leadership and be responsible for their delivery: writing the specs, leading the cross-functional team day to day, and driving the work from idea to launch.

This is an execution-first role. Your job is to make the team productive and the outcomes real: clarify requirements, coordinate engineering, design, and QA, keep the work on track, and stay in the details until it ships. Strong ideas are welcome and the best ones get built. As you build judgment and earn trust, you'll grow into more of the "what and why."

Places’ team is composed of talented, compassionate individuals from all over the globe with diverse backgrounds and professional experiences including folks from Apple, Google, Amazon, Meta, Snap, Twitter, Instacart, Paypal and more. We prioritize learning and teamwork and love giving people the opportunity to champion big challenges and grow into better versions of themselves.

Key Responsibilities

  • Turn direction into shipped work: Take goals and priorities from product leadership and translate them into clear, buildable specs with defined requirements and success criteria.
  • Drive cross-functional delivery: Lead engineering, design, QA, and other stakeholders day to day from problem to launch. Run the standups, track the work, unblock the team, and keep things moving.
  • Own the details: Manage scope, timelines, and dependencies. Surface risks early and keep leadership informed on progress and trade-offs.
  • Partner with QA on quality: Work with QA and engineering to test thoroughly and hold the team to the quality bar before we ship.
  • Bring ideas and evidence: Pressure-test concepts with users, prototypes, and data, and bring well-formed proposals to product leadership. The strongest ideas earn their way onto the roadmap.
  • Measure what shipped: Help define and instrument the metrics for your work, then report honestly on whether it moved them.
  • Communicate clearly: Keep partner teams and leadership aligned on status, blockers, and results. Escalate the right things at the right time.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience.

  • At least 2 years of experience in product management, or an adjacent role (engineering, design, product operations, program management) with a path into product.

  • Strong organizational and project management skills. You keep complex, multi-person work on track.

  • Genuine user empathy and developing product sense. You care whether what we ship is actually good.

  • Comfortable with data: you can read a metric, ask the right questions, and tell when something isn't working.

  • Excellent communication. You write clearly and keep cross-functional teams aligned.

  • Familiarity with agile delivery and modern product tooling.

  • Low-ego, high-ownership, eager to learn from senior PMs and leadership.

    • What Set's You Apart

  • Reliable Executor: You ship. Work handed to you gets done well, on time, without dropping details.

  • Idea-Generative: You spot opportunities and make a sharp case for them, knowing the bar is evidence and impact, not seniority.

  • Empathetic Collaborator: You earn trust across engineering, design, and QA and make the team around you more effective.

  • Growth-Oriented: A perpetual learner, open to feedback, hungry to grow into broader product ownership over time.

  • Impact-Driven: You drive toward the goal, problem-solve blockers, and make the right trade-offs to meet your commitments.
