Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCraig Smith is a Senior Group Product Manager with 11 years of experience building large-scale, ML-driven safety systems and scaling product teams at high-growth tech companies, most recently leading safety product strategy at Reddit. He has a proven track record of turning content classification and real-time enforcement roadmaps into measurable outcomes—helping drive advertiser confidence and revenue growth while achieving 90%+ model performance metrics and cutting exposure to harmful content by double-digit percentages. Equally comfortable in hands-on product design and org building, he grew Safety PM headcount, reorganized engineering teams into focused squads, and launched widely adopted systems like Contributor Quality Score used by hundreds of millions of users. A former engineer and founder with an MBA from Chicago Booth, Craig blends technical fluency (BigQuery, SQL, Hex, Mode, JavaScript) with stakeholder influence across ML, Ads, and Trust & Safety domains. Outside work he coaches other PMs and stays active in the local product community—bonus detail: you’ll often find him chasing a preschooler on a scooter or playing in a rec league when not shipping safety features.
