Apify's mission is to make the web more programmable. Why? Because we believe that humans have better things to do than fill in internet forms or compile Excel sheets of copy-pasted data. Those are jobs for Apify Actors, our serverless cloud programs that scrape data and automate workflows.

We collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for science, market research, finding mission children, and powering AI chatbots. Fortune 500 companies and small startups alike need the right data to make great business decisions, and Apify makes sure they get it.

In line with our mission, we're on the lookout for an enthusiastic product manager to join the Apify Store team. Your role will involve being the driving force behind Apify Actors (ready-made scraping tools in Apify Store), while also helping create an exceptional overall user experience and upgrading Apify Store 🦾

• Manage a group of our Actors for Social Media.
• Closely collaborate with your Actors team (respective Actors developers, PMM, and tester). Become the bridge between the Actors users and the Actors developers. Help the developers understand user needs and the product vision of each Actor.
• Actively engage with users of the Actors, addressing issues and conducting user calls to grasp their needs and pinpoint potential areas for enhancement.
• Utilize various monitoring tools and resources to track the performance data of Actors, detecting any emerging trends, positive or negative.

• Ensure that the Actors adhere to legal and ethical standards, particularly regarding data privacy and public data access.
• Monitor and analyze competitor solutions to identify market gaps and keep our Actors competitive.
• Define and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure success and prioritize improvements.
• Respond promptly to critical incidents, coordinating between developers and support teams to resolve issues.
• Propose and execute strategies to grow revenue, such as pricing adjustments.
