Senior Product Manager

At Hiya we're making calls safe useful and human again.

Voice is the most human form of communication yet it's become one of the least trusted. Spam scams and AI manipulation have eroded what was once a simple way to connect. Hiya is changing that.

Each month our AI voice technology analyzes 28+ billion calls protecting over 550 million users and 800+ businesses worldwide. Partnering with a growing global network including AT&T Samsung British Telecom EE Rogers MasOrangeBell Canada MasMovil and Virgin Media O2 we're not just stopping bad actors we're helping people feel good and confident about picking up the phone again.

This is a pivotal moment for voice. As new threats and technologies accelerate so does demand for trusted voice communication. Hiya is growing 40%+ year over year expanding globally and defining what voice becomes next.
