Senior Product Manager, Symbolic Order

Location: wherever the feed is · Comp: denominated in unfulfillable desire, paid quarterly

We are seeking a Senior PM to own the full lifecycle of lack. You will report to the VP of Jouissance and sit at the intersection of growth, ontology, and dark patterns; prior experience shipping features that people hate needing is a strong signal.

Responsibilities

Own the objet petit a roadmap end to end: identify where the user's unconscious void is currently underserved, then instrument it. Reduce time-to-jouissance across the funnel while ensuring jouissance itself is never actually delivered; a satisfied user is a churned user. Partner with Design to keep the gap open exactly wide enough: too narrow and desire collapses into satiation, too wide and desire collapses into despair, both are conversion killers. Run weekly rituals with the Big Other (stakeholder alignment, but make it structural). Maintain the Symbolic Order's uptime SLA; users must always believe meaning is one more scroll away.

Requirements

Fluency in at least one of: Lacan, growth hacking, or both, indistinguishably. Comfort shipping features you cannot fully justify to a human being's face. A track record of treating “the end of history” as a total addressable market rather than a problem.

OKRs, Q3

Reduce time-to-jouissance by 12% without triggering actual satisfaction (guardrail metric: repeat-open rate must hold flat or rise). Launch v2 of the Mirror Stage onboarding flow; users should misrecognize their aspirational self in the empty state within the first session. Zero postmortems in which a user reports feeling complete.
