Senior Global Product Manager - job 1 of 2

Cricut® makes smart cutting machines that work with an easy-to-use app, an ever-growing collection of materials, and crafting essentials to help you design and personalize almost anything — custom cards, unique apparel, everyday items, and so much more.

We believe everyone is born creative. We’re a diverse tapestry of thinkers, dreamers, givers, DIYers, handi-workers, artisans, and forever and always architects of things.

At Cricut, we place the power of handmade into the hands of all. We give you beautiful, easy-to-master tools so you can make something unique, remarkable, perfect. We surround you with ideas, community, inspiration, and encouragement to take your creativity further than you ever imagined. And as a community, we celebrate the exhilarating act of making every single day.

So, make that handcrafted card that feels like a hug. Design a shirt for fun, for family, or for a full-blown business. Craft with a passion or for a purpose. Make something big and bold, itsy-bitsy, amazingly ambitious, or just plain silly. Whatever you make, just make your heart out. Because here’s the remarkable truth: When we all make together, we make all things possible.

Let’s make.

• Own and evolve the tools that power taxonomy, metadata tagging, content creation (via our Contributing Artist Program), and configuration management for scalable software behavior.
• Advocate for taxonomy best practices and partner with engineering, user experience, data science, and the Creative Content team to integrate taxonomy and metadata across systems and user experiences.
• Establish governance models and quality standards for taxonomy evolution, metadata integrity, and system-wide adoption.
• Collaborate with search, personalization, and platform teams to ensure taxonomies directly enhance the Cricut product experience through discovery, recommendations, and engagement.
• Identify structural gaps in taxonomy or metadata coverage through analytics and system audits, and define scalable solutions.
• Partner with data teams to define metrics that assess the effectiveness of taxonomy and metadata in driving content engagement.
• Leverage content performance and user behavior data to identify gaps and guide prioritization of taxonomy and system improvements.
• Align with AI and user-generated content teams to create a seamless and thoughtful content ecosystem.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across technical and non-technical domains.
