# Product Manager, Design & UX at Fizz

- **Company:** Fizz
- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Compensation:** $140k–$180k
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Posted:** 2026-09-30
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-10-14
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fizz/392a4c7e-f87a-4ecd-a193-66fa178aa162

## Job description

What is Fizz Fizz is the social platform built for authentic connection. We started by building the largest college social network in the U.S., and are now expanding Fizz into a global community where people can connect around the places they live, the communities they belong to, and the things they care about. We're building a different kind of social product: one centered on conversation, community, and meeting people, rather than consuming content from creators and influencers.

## The Role

We're looking for a Product Manager, Design & UX who sits at the intersection of product management, product design, and building. This is not a traditional PM role. You'll spend the majority of your time hands-on: designing in Figma, using AI to analyze data and prototype ideas, and shipping product changes yourself when possible. You'll operate in two modes. Sometimes you'll own a product problem end-to-end, from identifying the opportunity and pulling the data to designing, shipping, and measuring the solution. Other times, you'll partner with another PM and focus on turning their ideas into exceptional product experiences. You should be equally excited about both. We care less about whether you started as a PM or designer. We care that you have exceptional product judgment, are excellent at product design, and want to use AI to dramatically increase what one person can build.

## What You'll Do

- Spend significant time in Figma designing production-ready product experiences
- Own product initiatives end-to-end, from problem → data → design → ship → iterate
- Partner with other PMs to turn product ideas into simple, intuitive experiences
- Use AI to query and analyze product data yourself, uncover opportunities, and make data-driven product decisions
- Build prototypes quickly using AI and other modern development tools
- Ship visual and UI changes directly to production without engineering support when possible
- Own and evolve Fizz's design system
- Work directly with engineers on changes that require deeper technical work
- Use experiments, product data, and user feedback to continuously improve what you ship

## What We're Looking For

- Exceptional product judgment and consumer product taste
- Advanced Figma skills and a desire to spend >70% of your time designing and building
- Excellent UX and interaction design skills
- Strong visual design instincts and attention to detail
- Experience building consumer mobile products
- Strong analytical thinking and comfort using AI to independently query and analyze product data
- Technical enough to use AI coding tools to prototype and ship visual product changes yourself
- Ability to independently own a product problem and be accountable for its outcome
- Equally comfortable partnering with another PM and focusing primarily on design
- High ownership, low ego, and a bias toward shipping

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

- You're a PM who opens Figma instead of waiting for a designer
- You're a product designer who wants more ownership over product decisions, data, and outcomes
- You use AI to answer your own product questions instead of waiting for an analyst
- You'd rather make a simple product change yourself than write a ticket for an engineer
- You obsess over user flows and interaction details that others miss
- You enjoy both figuring out what to build and personally designing and building how it should work

## Why Fizz

You'll have significant ownership over a consumer product used at scale. You'll work with a small team of PMs and engineers, move quickly from idea to production, and help us define a more AI-native way of building products.

## About Fizz

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Fizz is a private, authenticated social networking platform that connects college students with their hyperlocal campus communities through anonymous posts, feeds, and a marketplace.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B; latest SAFE investment with a $200M valuation cap)
- **Headquarters**: New York, NY, USA (primary office at 584 Broadway; also has an office in Palo Alto, CA)
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Ashton Cofer (Co-Founder & CTO) and Teddy Solomon (Co-Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Social networking platforms
- Target customers: B2C – college and university students (currently 800+ campuses onboarded, 1M+ US users)
- Mission or purpose statement: “Redefine the definition of a true social network” by creating safe, authentic, hyperlocal communities, starting with college.

## Products & Services
- **Fizz App**: A mobile social platform (iOS) where verified students can post anonymously, share photos/videos/polls/confessions, scroll a “for you” feed, and buy/sell items via an in-app marketplace. Features include community-based moderation and direct messaging.
- **Fizz Advertising**: Branded polls, native app takeovers, in-feed ads, and audience targeting (by campus, state, college tier, age, etc.). Early advertisers include Sony Pictures, Amazon, Perplexity, Kalshi, Quizlet, and Cerca.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: $200M valuation cap on the most recent SAFE investment (date undisclosed; ~2026). Not publicly traded.
- **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue ~$4.5M (estimated); Total Funding ~$42.25M ($41.5M per Tracxn).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: New Enterprise Associates (led Series A), Owl Ventures (led Series B), Rakesh Mathur (led Seed), and an undisclosed strategic round with celebrities, creators, and tech execs.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - 75 employees (+5.5% YoY); headcount is growing despite slight monthly dip.
  - 2.2M+ global downloads, 1M+ monthly active users, ~50% daily active usage.
  - Expanded internationally to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in early 2026; average user age in Middle East is 25.
  - Revenue positive (first time for a free social platform); building out ad sales team.
  - Hired Andrew Zalk (ex-Flipboard) as Head of Business Solutions to scale advertising.
  - Planning to expand beyond college in the US by 2027.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Authentic hyperlocal focus**: Verified .edu email login ensures a trusted, campus-specific community – reminiscent of early Facebook.
- **Privacy & moderation**: Anonymous posting with full identity control and a combination of AI + human moderators. Rated 18+ on App Store (no high schoolers).
- **Engagement moat**: Strong daily active usage (50% of active users every day) and virality within college networks.
- **Advertiser appeal**: Direct access to Gen Z in a brand-safe, authenticated environment with granular targeting; already attracting major entertainment, AI, and finance brands.

## Strategic Focus
- **Advertising revenue**: Scaling the ad sales team and account management to turn Fizz into a sustainable advertising business (currently generating revenue).
- **Global expansion**: Deepening presence in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait) and piloting subscription plans for that region.
- **Beyond college**: Preparing to launch Fizz for the broader post-graduate “real world” in 2027, targeting users aged 18–30+.
- **Product evolution**: Experimenting with direct messaging features, subscription tiers, and new user behaviors (e.g., using the platform for local discovery in cities).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Mission-driven team of ~75 people working to “make social media social again” – fast-paced, startup environment with roots at Stanford.
- **Office & flexibility**: HQ in New York City (584 Broadway) and a Palo Alto office; likely hybrid/remote-friendly given small team and engineering roles (lead iOS engineer, etc.).
- **Growth opportunities**: Early-stage company with aggressive expansion plans (ad sales, global markets, new verticals) – employees can shape a product that could become the next major social network.
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Work on a high-traffic consumer app (2.2M+ downloads); engineering team is small but impactful; founder-led with deep product involvement.
- **Active hiring**: Currently recruiting a User Acquisition Manager; frequent past hires from top universities and companies like Starbucks, Target, and Deloitte.
