Job Overview
We’re seeking a strategic Product Manager who thrives in a dynamic, client-facing environment and excels at bridging the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders. You’ll own product vision and execution for multiple client projects—from early-stage startups building their first MVP to established companies launching new AI-powered features. This role combines traditional product management excellence with AI-era capabilities: using AI tools for market research, competitive analysis, user story generation, and rapid prototyping while maintaining strong product intuition and strategic thinking.

- Own the product backlog, prioritizing features based on user value, business impact, technical complexity, and strategic alignment
- Write detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and product specifications using AI tools to accelerate documentation while maintaining quality
- Collaborate closely with engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle, unblocking issues, answering questions, and ensuring shared understanding
- Conduct user testing, gather feedback, and iterate rapidly on product features based on qualitative and quantitative data
- Leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, specialized PM tools) for product research, rapid prototyping, competitive analysis, and persona development
Data-Driven Decision Making
- Define and track key product metrics (acquisition, engagement, retention, revenue) that demonstrate product-market fit and business impact
- Analyze user behavior data, A/B test results, and market trends to inform product iterations and strategic pivots
- Build dashboards and reporting mechanisms that provide visibility into product health and team performance
- Use quantitative insights combined with qualitative user research to validate hypotheses and drive continuous improvement
- Stay current with AI product capabilities and emerging trends, identifying opportunities to integrate AI features that deliver genuine user value
Requirements
- 3+ years of product management experience in software development, ideally within agencies, consultancies, or client-facing roles
- Demonstrated ability to use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, specialized PM tools) effectively for product research, documentation, and competitive analysis—you understand both capabilities and limitations
- Proven track record building strong client relationships, managing expectations, and delivering products that achieve business objectives
- Exceptional ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and articulate product vision compellingly
- Track record shipping successful products from 0-to-1 and iterating based on user feedback and market dynamics
