Director, Product Discovery (Scribd.com)

At Scribd, our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our products : Everand, Scribd, Slideshare, and Fable.

About the Team and Role

We are building a new Discovery product organization at Scribd.com. This role is the founding Director of Product for that group. You will lead the strategy and execution across our recommendations, search, ranking, and discovery experiences.

Our corpus spans hundreds of millions of documents, and our goal is not just to help people find files, but to help millions of applied learners discover the knowledge inside those documents. You will define how we evolve from traditional search and recommendations into a real‑time, LLM‑augmented discovery system that understands user intent, reasons across our corpus, and returns trustworthy, explainable results.

This is a strategic and operational leadership role. You will manage and mentor PM leaders, partner with Engineering, Machine Learning, Applied Research, Design, Content, and Data Science, and establish the discovery roadmap that will shape Scribd.com’s long‑term engagement, retention, and subscription growth.

You Will

• Set the multi‑year Discovery strategy.
• Define and drive the long‑term vision for Scribd’s discovery ecosystem, including recommendations, search, ranking, and semantic content understanding.
• Articulate how we move from document‑level retrieval to knowledge‑level discovery using foundational models and LLMs.
• Align this vision with company priorities in engagement, retention, and subscription growth, balancing foundational ML investments with high‑impact product improvements.
