As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll own the product vision and roadmap for the primary user experience (UX/UI) of the Dorsia app from discovery and search, to reservation booking and post-dining flow. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, design, data, and operations teams to deliver seamless, beautiful, and high-performing features. Your mission is centered in making Dorsia’s app the most enjoyable and effortless way for our users to access and manage exceptional dining and coveted experiences.
The ideal candidate will have an impeccable product sense, a deep obsession with user-centric design, and demonstrated experience managing consumer-facing mobile products. You will succeed in this role if you thrive in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment where designing for delight is a core focus.

Workplace Philosophy at Dorsia
At Dorsia, we believe that culture eats strategy. The best ideas in the world mean nothing without the right people around the table and the right chemistry between them. We are, unapologetically, a people-first organization.
In-Person Matters
We’re creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for the most discerning audience in the world. That doesn’t happen over Zoom. It happens through collisions: a spark across a desk, a kitchen-side conversation that unlocks a partnership, the energy of ideas felt, not typed. That’s why in-office culture is non-negotiable at Dorsia.
Who We Hire
We don’t subscribe to check-the-box hiring. We hire for merit and mindset, which naturally creates a team with varied backgrounds. What unites us isn’t demographics, it’s a shared vision: to build the social operating system for the cultural vanguard.
Lifestyle Hours
We’re not a 9-to-5 company. Our lifestyle mirrors our members. Early flights, after-work events, and late-night sprints when the work demands it. But we love what we do, and we definitely love a good party.
High Performance Culture
Working at Dorsia isn’t for everyone—and that’s the point. Our culture is designed for builders, not passengers. We move fast, set ambitious standards, and expect people to rise to them. If you have the talent and the drive, this will be a ride to remember.
A Final Word
We’re building something special. It will take long hours and relentless effort. It’s not for everyone. For those with the metabolism, you’ll create something that changes how culture is lived. And that’s the kind of work worth your life’s energy.
