What is the Yahoo APM Program?
We’re looking for aspiring product managers to help us build the future of media and technology. The historic Yahoo APM program offers Yahoo APMs an incredible product portfolio and opportunities for impact. For a full list of companies within the Yahoo portfolio, check out our brands page.
Real scope & impact
You will drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for your product — empowering you to create value for the user.
APM TRIP
APMs will come together for a domestic trip that will feature a range of learning and team-building activities. The purpose of the trip is to foster collaboration, enhance our product management skills, and strengthen our bonds as a team.
Mentorship and Resources
Hone your product leadership skills by meeting regularly with senior product leaders and executive coaches. You'll also participate in planned activities such as book clubs, tech conferences, and social events.
Make an Impact
Yahoo reaches over one billion people every month. APMs drive product development and strategy for some of the world’s largest products and platforms across domains like news, finance, sports, video, and more.
What are some of the things that APMs do?
JB Park, APM '22
“I am working on the Yahoo Mail team. As the mobile push notifications PM, I do all things notifications-related – ranging from identifying areas of opportunity within Mail notifications to collaborating with different departments to bring feature ideas to fruition. I drive notification changes to continuously improve our product and offer the best user experience possible.”

“I’m currently working on the Recommendations team. We power engaging personalized experiences across the Yahoo ecosystem (think Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance, and more!) using our cutting edge Recommendation Engine based on state-of-the-art Machine Learning. It’s a super exciting team to be a part of since our technology touches so many users across the Yahoo ecosystem!”
Ornelle Mambe, APM '21
“I’m working on Yahoo Finance where I lead our finance plus subscription product that empowers sophisticated retail investors to make informed decisions. I direct and execute various activities across the web and app experience in order to manage and grow our premium subscription business. Previously I was on Yahoo Search where I led our video, tent poles, and utilities experiences.”
JUstin rodriguez, APM '21
“I’m an APM on Yahoo Mail working on high level growth strategies and various habit driving features and partnerships. I’m learning how to take high level metrics, define testable driving metrics, and project the impact on our broad goals. I've also worked on the Native Ads team to drive automated bid strategy adoption, and on the Personalization team to better personalize the homepage experience.”
Jumpstart your Growth
Our APMs have built an elite and well-respected reputation throughout the company, and we help accelerate their growth by providing them the tools and resources they need to quickly grow into leadership roles.
How have our APMs grown?
Tejas Thvar, APM '22
“Working with Yahoo Mail’s Inbox Commerce team, I researched our affiliate business and ran experiments to optimize user segmentation, ranking, and recommendation models. I learned about defining user pain points through UX research and the scientific method for product development, helping guide the design of delightful features. ”
Eric Chen, APM '22
“On Yahoo Ad Product Operations, I gained a profound understanding of Yahoo Advertising/Search internal business procedures. I learned to effectively communicate with multiple stakeholder groups and develop compelling solutions to address user needs while accommodating complex business logic. ”
Hannah Green, APM '21
“On Yahoo Mail, I worked on a large scale project that gave me the skills to effectively communicate with stakeholders and drive development towards a common goal while always being user centric. I learned the importance of striking a balance between business and user needs and finding creative solutions to build meaningful experiences for our users.”
Stan Chernavsky, APM '21
“By working on Yahoo's identity platform, I learned to build authentication flows that provide users with seamless login experiences while maintaining high levels of security and keeping costs to a minimum. My team showed me the merits of focus and discipline when faced with a highly dynamic and cross-functional environment.”
