What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Product Manager position at OneSignal?

On a mission to democratize customer engagement, we enable over a million businesses to keep their users engaged and up to date by delivering billions of messages daily.

1 in 5 new apps launches using OneSignal! And we support companies in 140 countries! Our customers range from startups and small businesses just getting off the ground to established companies such as Zynga, USA Today, Bitcoin.com, Eventbrite, Tribune, and many more.

We’re Series C, venture-backed by SignalFire, Rakuten Ventures, Y Combinator, HubSpot, and BAM Elevate. We offer remote work as the default option in the United States in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Washington. As well as in the UK and Singapore - with plans to expand the locations we support in the future. Some roles are hybrid roles and will be listed as such. We have offices in San Mateo, CA and London, UK, and offer flex seating options for employees to work together in-person in NY and other areas. Hiring in Singapore is done in partnership with a local EOR.

OneSignal has a lot of the great tech startup qualities you'd expect, but we don't stop there. Our massive scale and small team, emphasis on healthy life balance and kindness in all our interactions, and focus on ownership and personal growth make OneSignal a uniquely great place to work.

About The Team

Our product team helps build the future of how apps engage their users. We work side-by-side with OneSignal’s engineering team to define APIs, white-board product ideas, and create visual prototypes with our experienced design team. We live and breathe data -- leveraging data to validate our hypotheses and the impact of our work.

What You'll Do

  • Own and drive strategy for a major product pillar or platform capability that spans multiple teams
  • Define and execute OneSignal's AI product strategy, identifying opportunities where AI/ML can create step-function improvements in customer engagement outcomes

  • Partner with Engineering and Design leadership to shape technical architecture and product decisions with significant long-term impact
  • Drive key business metrics and understand the P&L impact of your product decisions
  • Represent Product externally - at conferences, with key enterprise customers, and in partnership discussions
  • Leverage AI tools (LLMs, AI design tools, code generation) to rapidly prototype and validate product concepts, dramatically compressing ideation-to-validation cycles
  • Lead field enablement initiatives and work closely with GTM teams to drive product-led growth and expansion

What You'll Bring

  • 10 years of product management experience, with at least 3 years operating at Principal/Staff level or equivalent scope
  • Experience defining AI product strategy and translating AI/ML capabilities into customer-facing value propositions
  • Proven track record of defining and executing multi-year product strategies that drive significant business impact
  • Deep expertise in at least one domain relevant to OneSignal (customer engagement platforms, marketing automation, messaging infrastructure, or developer platforms)
  • Advanced technical fluency - ability to engage in architectural discussions, make complex technical tradeoffs, and guide API design decisions
  • Strong executive presence and ability to influence senior leadership and cross-functional partners
  • Demonstrated experience mentoring other PMs and elevating product practice across an organization
  • Expert at using data to inform strategy - advanced SQL skills and ability to design measurement frameworks
  • Experience managing products at significant scale (millions of users, billions of events)
  • Track record of building 0-1 products or driving major platform transformations
  • Strong business acumen with experience in B2B SaaS economics, including understanding of CAC, LTV, and unit economics
