Principal Product Manager, Off-Platform Verified Identity

This role can be based in Mountain View or San Francisco, CA.

At LinkedIn, we trust each other to do our best work where it works best for us and our teams. This role offers a hybrid work option, meaning you can both work from home and commute to a LinkedIn office, depending on what’s best for you and when it is important for your team to be together.

Our verifications team is focused on helping members connect to real opportunity: real jobs, real people, and real companies. With the rise of GenAI it’s going to be harder to trust what you see and who you interact with across the internet. We are building out a platform to enable members to share their profile information (including verifications) with sites in order to help build trust and get access to products or services. We have an aspirational goal of 100 million verified members by 2025. This is a 0-1 product management opportunity and you’ll be responsible for strategy, roadmap, and execution. This will include finding product-market fit, connecting with other companies across sectors, and ultimately scaling the number of partners that are leveraging Verified on LinkedIn across their sites and subsequently members who leverage this new tool. This role is crucial in building a robust developer ecosystem that leverages LinkedIn’s unique position to provide secure and trustworthy identity solutions. 

Searching for your dream job? At LinkedIn, we strive to help our employees fulfill their passion and purpose. Join us in changing the way the world works!
