Requirements
  • 3 to 5 years total experience, with 2 years of experience in either management consulting, investment banking, or product management and 1+ years of experience in a venture-backed startup.
  • A natural curiosity and passion for technology, including an interest in learning how engineering systems work and how our tech stack impacts our users.
  • An obsessive attention to detail and a strong bias-to-action.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and ability to autonomously define a strategy from first principles.
  • A high degree of ownership and self-motivation; this is a leadership role and will require someone to define the work to be done and execute on it with limited direct management.
  • A direct communication style and a dedication to 'strong opinions, weakly held'; Fizz culture is built on humility and a promise that 'the best idea wins.' We hold each other accountable, speak directly, and debate ideas passionately.
  • Willing and able to work out of our Palo Alto office 5 days a week.
Responsibilities
  • You will partner with our lead PM, our CTO, and our CEO to define, build, and optimize new and existing features to serve our needs.
  • Lead new strategic initiatives and functions within Fizz, including new market expansion, partnerships, and investor relations (e.g., board decks, comms) to support and grow capabilities within the organization.
  • You will work closely with our CEO to source, evaluate, onboard, and execute key brand deals and partnerships.
  • You will drive our customer strategy, document and codify our GTM motion and processes, and identify opportunities for automation and simplification.
  • You will own the strategy and policy surrounding content moderation, including the management of our custom, AI-native content moderation pipeline and the communication and coordination of 4K+ moderators across our communities.
  • You will be a data expert comfortable assessing core metrics, iterating on product, and ultimately building safer, authentic communities for students online.

Fizz offers a secure platform tailored for college communities, emphasizing safety and privacy. It utilizes university email verification and community-based moderation, ensuring a trustworthy environment for users. Working here, you'll be part of a team dedicated to enhancing student communication and security, making it a significant contributor to safer educational environments. This commitment to principled security measures and specialized community focus makes it appealing for those interested in robust online community platforms.
