Join Premium Product Manager - Future Audiences Wikimedia Foundation Product Manager, Future Audiences Summary The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for an enterprising product manager to join our Future Audiences effort. This is the small, fast-moving team that experiments with new ways to reach young audiences on the platforms they use. Our organizational vision is a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge – and that includes reaching new generations where they are – on search, AI, video, and social experiences. Wikipedia is one of the most popular media properties in the world, visited by over 1 billion people a month across over 300 different languages. All this knowledge is created and managed by more than 200,000 volunteer contributors – and is becoming more important to the information ecosystem than ever before. Newer generations are using the internet in new and different ways, by searching for information in social apps, by learning from short-form videos, and incorporating AI into their daily life. This role is responsible for guiding a cross-functional team to execute on rapid experiments that unfold over a matter of weeks, in the pursuit of identifying viable product opportunities that can be scaled by other teams. Past experiments have included a Wikipedia plugin for ChatGPT and a browser extension for fact-checking.
