Product Manager, Knowledge Graph

#TeamNextdoor

Nextdoor is where you connect to the neighborhoods that matter to you so you can belong. Our purpose is to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood they can rely on.

Neighbors around the world turn to Nextdoor daily to receive trusted information, give and get help, get things done, and build real-world connections with those nearby — neighbors, businesses, and public services. Today, neighbors rely on Nextdoor in more than 305,000 neighborhoods across 11 countries.

Meet Your Future Neighbors

At Nextdoor, AI is one of the most important teams we are growing. Our mission is to accelerate the cultivation of a kinder world with data-driven intelligence. We are transforming our product through personalization, and driving major impact across different parts of our platform including newsfeed, notifications, ads relevance, knowledge graph, connections, search, and trust.  We are looking for a product manager who believes in AI, particularly knowledge graph (KG) and the power of the local community to empower our members to make their communities great places to live.

The Impact You’ll Make

As a Product Manager in the AI Org, you will partner closely with machine learning engineers, data scientists, product engineers, researchers, and fellow product managers to define the technical architecture and data schema for our first knowledge graph. The Nextdoor Knowledge Graph work is central to the success of our business and will impact our content relevancy and ranking, ads targeting, and neighbor and business suggestions. This work is also central to our commitment to build a kinder world, as having high-quality content understanding allows us to reduce exposure to low-quality or toxic content. 

One of the unique assets at Nextdoor is its massive local neighborhood graph. A knowledge graph on top of it is the foundation of our product and ecosystem and part of our 5 year strategy.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading the Knowledge Graph (KG) product at Nextdoor to establish a strategy and roadmap for all key elements of our KG, including but not limited to taxonomy, content understanding, user understanding, and standardized data services
• Partnering with all stakeholders (i.e. Product, Engineering, and AI across Growth, Engagement, Revenue, and Vitality pillars) to integrate KG into key products and accelerate product growth
• Help inform our broader product strategy in partnership with other product leaders, to ensure we are designing features in a way that allows us to derive the right signals and information to help connect neighbors and community members to each other and to information they value

What You’ll Bring To The Team

• 8-10+ years of relevant product management experiences in building data product and services, preferably knowledge graph related
• Strong product leadership and influencing skills
• Strong track record of shipping horizontal platform products
• Strong analytical thinker in order to interpret data, thoroughly analyze results, and drive to critical outcomes and success
• Experience defining requirements and prioritizing implementation timelines 
• Excellent written and communication skills especially to senior executives
• Natural ability to make things happen around you. You manage project ambiguity, complexity and interdependencies in an organized and structured way

Rewards

Compensation, benefits, perks, and recognition programs at Nextdoor come together to create one overall rewards package.

The starting salary for this role is expected to range from $147,000 to $241,000 on an annualized basis, or potentially greater in the event that your 'level' of proficiency exceeds the level expected for the role. Compensation may also vary by geography.

We also expect to award a meaningful equity grant for this role. With equal quarterly vesting, your first vest date would be within the first 3 months of your start date.

Overall, total compensation will vary depending on your relevant skills, experience, and qualifications. We have you covered! Nextdoor employees can choose between a variety of great health plans. We cover 100% of your personal monthly premium for health, dental, and vision – and provide a OneMedical membership for concierge care.

At Nextdoor, we empower our employees to build stronger local communities. To create a platform where all feel welcome, we want our workforce to reflect the diversity of the neighbors we seek to serve. We encourage everyone interested in our purpose to apply. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, or any other trait that unfairly targets a group of people. In accordance with the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we always consider qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
