The SuperAwesome Mission

Our mission is to make the internet safer for kids. We’ve pioneered the kidtech sector: technology built specifically for engagement with children, with privacy and responsibility at its very core. Every month SuperAwesome technology powers over 12 billion digital engagements with kids across video, community, advertising and parental consent. We have the biggest kidtech team on the planet, focused on solving the challenges of engagement with the under-16 audience. At the intersection of technology, law, media and policy, working with us gives you a chance to shape what the internet of the future looks like. It’s a unique, challenging and rewarding environment.

What We Do

SuperAwesome exists to make the internet safer for kids. Product Managers are fundamental to achieving our mission. We’re looking for people who’ve built and scaled successful products that users and customers love. Specifically, we need a Product Manager to join our Kids Web Services team, building the world’s leading kids privacy and parental consent platform, used by some of the largest developers globally.

Kids Web Services (KWS) is a kidtech platform for developers who are creating engaging and innovative kid-led experiences. It provides out-of-the-box solutions for developers to compliantly handle kid's personal data, and for them to give parents visibility and control over that data.

KWS allows our developer customers to outsource the complexity of kid's data privacy, so they can get on with the job of making the most awesome game, content experience, toy or whatever they can.

For kids and parents, we provide transparency and control over how their data is used and collected. For our business, KWS connects us deeply with companies’ products and allows us to drive a huge impact with the developer community.
