Job Description
This is a full-time opportunity based in the New York City with a fast growing, well-funded startup building AI native products at scale. We're looking for a Founding Product Leader to define and execute our company's product vision from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to own the roadmap for an AI-powered consumer intelligence platform at an early stage and have a direct impact on the company's trajectory.
The ideal candidate is a technically fluent, metrics-driven product leader with experience building data infrastructure, identity, enrichment, or API-first platforms. You think about schemas, identity resolution, match rates, and latency as naturally as you think about user experience and product strategy. While you won't be expected to write production code, you should be comfortable reading and reasoning through codebases using AI-assisted tools, partnering closely with engineers, and making informed technical product decisions.
Required Skills & Experience
Background in engineering, computer science, or technical fields
Familiarity with adtech, marketing, or other complex operational domains
Ability to define visual identity and brand systems from scratch
Comfortable reading and reasoning through engineering codebases (AI-assisted tooling is encouraged) and collaborating deeply with technical teams.
What You Will Be Doing
Tech Breakdown
70% Product Strategy, AI Product Development & Platform Leadership (defining product vision, roadmap prioritization, AI-driven product innovation, business outcomes, and platform strategy)
30% Technical Product Execution (partnering with engineering on architecture decisions, product delivery, data-driven experimentation, and technical feasibility)
Daily Responsibilities
50% Product Leadership & Strategy (owning product vision, roadmap planning, prioritization, go-to-market alignment, and business impact)
30% Cross-Functional Leadership & Stakeholder Management (collaborating with executives, engineering, design, sales, marketing, and customers to drive outcomes)
20% Product Execution & Customer Discovery (analyzing product performance, gathering customer insights, validating opportunities, and ensuring successful delivery of key initiatives)
The Offer
Bonus eligible
You will receive the following benefits:
*Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the US on a full-time basis now and in the future.
