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.

As a Principal Product Manager, you will play a defining role in reimagining how people meet on Bumble Date. You’ll operate with a high degree of ownership and autonomy, bringing together Engineering, Design, and Data to shape a cohesive, forward-looking product strategy. You will champion our values of Curiosity and Courage, with a focus on the problems - exploring new possibilities, challenging conventional approaches, and turning insight into impact.

This role is central to our evolution as an AI-native organization. You won’t just use AI tools - you’ll embed AI into the way products are imagined, built, and scaled. Modeling new ways of working that help teams move faster and think bigger, while keeping the experience personal, safe, and trustworthy.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • 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

  • Partner closely with senior stakeholders to influence product direction, balancing user needs, commercial goals, and platform integrity with a strong sense of ownership

  • Drive cross-functional execution with an agile mindset, adapting plans based on learning and ensuring delivery of high-quality experiences at pace

ABOUT YOU

  • Deep experience in product management, ideally within consumer technology or marketplace environments, with a track record of owning complex, high-impact product areas

  • Typically requires 10+ years of experience, though we welcome candidates with alternative backgrounds that demonstrate equivalent skills

  • Proven ability to define product strategy and translate it into execution, working cross-functionally to deliver measurable outcomes and see things through from insight to impact

  • Strong product craft across discovery, experimentation, and delivery - including experience with A/B testing frameworks, user research, and data-informed decision-making

  • AI-native in your practice: you have rebuilt how you do PM work with AI at the core, expanding what one PM can prototype, test, and ship - and you help others adopt these habits

  • Comfortable expanding beyond traditional PM boundaries - for example, creating prototypes, drafting technical or design artifacts, or accelerating workflows through AI-enabled tools

  • Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, take ownership, and collaborate effectively across disciplines

WHY JOIN US?

  • Join a mission-driven company at the forefront of shaping the future of human connection
  • Work with cutting-edge AI technologies to deliver impactful and ethical user experiences
  • Be part of a diverse, inclusive, and innovative culture that values kindness and authenticity
  • Enjoy competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for career development
