Hi there! 👋
🐼 About us
WeWard is the app that rewards you for walking and turns everyday steps into real-life rewards, connections, & positive impact!
Our mission is to help people move more, feel better, and make movement meaningful.

🎯 About the role
We’re looking for a Product Manager to own the onboarding and activation experience at WeWard. Your job will be to build a delightful and fun experience for our users through their first seven days in the app. You will achieve this by identifying and optimizing moments of churn, improving our existing funnels and engagement loops, and building new features that deepen early user engagement. We currently have a 90th percentile D7 retention - you’re job is to take us to the 99th.
You will be given the autonomy to drive the business forward by owning the roadmap, running discovery and experimentation, and shipping with your own engineering and design team.
You will report to David, our Product Director, and work with a team of marketers, engagement managers, designers, and engineers to drive DAU to the moon.
Every member of this team regularly ships feature into production that pass our quality bar using Claude, Cursor etc. This role enables you, and expects you, to truly bring your ideas from 0 to 1.
