Job Description

Get to know the Team
The Comms product team empowers and provides delightful communication experiences for our consumers and partners.

The scope of our team is wide. We handle everything from ensuring our underlying comms delivery systems are stable and reliable, the internal tools for marketing & ops to craft campaigns, the ML optimization layers of who should receive what/when/etc., and two-way interactive communications. It’s a large and exciting scope that touches every part of Grab across every vertical, user type, partner, and market we operate in.

As a Platform team, we work horizontally across all functions to anticipate the future needs of Grab’s ecosystem of services and partners. We also push for scalability and reusability to ensure our consumers and partners have a consistent and delightful experience.


Get to know the Role
As a Principal Product Manager on the Comms team, you will own and drive the product vision for the Targeted Communications problem space.

Ultimately, our goal is to influence user behavior through highly relevant, contextual, and timely communications. This role will require someone who has a first-principles approach to problem-solving and can drive a large organizational change management process across hundreds of people.

We’re looking for exceptional people who are excited by the opportunity to have a major impact on how millions of people across Southeast Asia interact with Grab.
