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 rely on accurate, timely data, and Apify makes sure they get it.

With that said, 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 our Actors, while also helping create an exceptional overall user experience and upgrading Apify Store

What you will do:

You will be responsible for two key areas within Apify Store:

Community: Drive engagement with our external developers, extract insights from their feedback, and transform them into product wins.

Actors: Take the helm of our Apify-maintained Actors (think Zillow, Indeed, TripAdvisor, Booking) and guide their evolution. You'll be the brain behind their strategy, roadmap, and market fit - no dev team attached, so bring your problem-solving spirit! A little more detail:

• Manage a portfolio of Apify-maintained Actors in Store, acting as a bridge between users and devs. Work closely with the Actor development team to address user needs and align on the product vision for each Actor.
• Regularly check and triage issues with Actors, identify effective 90/10 solutions, and cooperate with other Actor owners to ensure necessary fixes are implemented.
• Actively engage with users through calls and other interactions to understand their needs, gather feedback, and evaluate opportunities for improvement.
• Use monitoring tools to track Actor performance data, spot trends, and identify areas for optimization.
• Participate in strategic discussions on Apify Store's direction with the Head of Store and other stakeholders, contributing insights to shape marketing strategies and collaborating with the marketing team for effective execution.
• Contribute to helping Apify Store become a place where both Apify-maintained and community Actors thrive. You’ll bring innovative ideas for our tools, improve testing processes, and streamline workflows.
• Partner with our dev community to shape product decisions, gather feedback, and build an open environment where ideas flow freely.
• Lead quality control for community Actors: evaluate new submissions and strategically select top performers for promotion.
• Guide developers from onboarding to success: advise on monetization strategies, navigate documentation, and provide hands-on support to both veteran and new publishers
• Gather insights from developers about the platform’s strengths and pain points.
• Conduct surveys or interviews to identify unmet needs.
• Connect developers for collaborative projects and cross-Actor initiatives.
• Monitor and address platform integrity by preventing plagiarism and misuse.
