What we're looking for?

• We need someone with 5+ years of product management experience who has launched zero-to-one products and owned complex product domains end-to-end.

Bonus points if you have AI/ML product experience and some CS background.

What you'll do:

• Own your product area from discovery and requirements to launch, adoption, and iteration across a complex, highly visual platform
• Lead multiple complex projects simultaneously with significant ownership, serving as the point of contact with large strategic partners and customers
• Work deeply across the stack—frontend UX, backend systems, and AI/ML components—collaborating closely with a strong engineering team
• Translate ambiguous problems into clear product strategies, roadmaps, and specs while maintaining high velocity
• Partner directly with co-founders and cross-functional stakeholders to define the roadmap and deliver high-quality features at a fast cadence
• Drive a culture of fast learning, experimentation, and continuous improvement while being scrappy and pragmatic in a Series A environment

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 5+ years of PM experience with startup or zero-to-one product launch experience — the hiring manager (co-founder Jagriti) said this is close to a must-have
• Has launched complex products and managed multiple complex projects simultaneously with high ownership
• Customer-facing experience with large/strategic customers — Jagriti called this between a nice-to-have and must-have, leaning toward must-have
• Works closely with designers on highly visual products — this is a must-have given how visual Client's platform is
• Some CS background or technical fluency is helpful — they don't need to be super technical but should collaborate credibly with a strong engineering team
• Low-ego, mission-driven, willing to work hard — the team explicitly said they care about hiring people who genuinely care about the mission and won't clock in/out at 9-5
