About RadicalTempo

Radical Tempo is revolutionizing how creators thrive in the digital age. We're building a platform that empowers creators to take control of their content journey – from creation to monetization – while fostering a community that celebrates creativity and joy.

Our founders are a unique blend of tech and media entrepreneurs who have founded and scaled tech companies to $150m ARR and media companies to a $2bn exit, raising hundreds of $mm in the process. Backed by S32 and a slate of angels including founders of Slack, GoogleX, Trulia, we're in the early stages of a massive growth trajectory, and we're seeking passionate individuals who want to shape the future of creator-driven content.

What makes us unique: We don't just build for creators - we are creators. Our in-house content team consistently produces viral content that has generated over 100m views across YouTube and other platforms since launch in Oct 2024. (Check out our channel PrankU on Youtube - one of our founders co-created Punk’d!). This gives us unprecedented insights into creator needs and allows us to rapidly test and validate our product features in a real-world environment.

Role

We are seeking our first Product Manager to join our core team and drive the development of our creator-focused platform from the ground up. You will work directly with the founders - the CEO and CTO on the tech side, and the President and Chief Creative Officer on the content side to fully realize the technology opportunity. As the founding member of the product team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our product strategy, working directly with our creator customers to understand their needs, and translating those insights into powerful features that help creators succeed in the digital economy.

In this role, you'll thrive in an early-stage environment where you can make a significant impact, champion our users' needs, and help build a product that transforms how creators understand and grow their digital presence.
