Qualifications (these are important, please read) and considerations:

• You have launched something before that you had to iterate over 2-3 quarters (minimum)
• You can actively use modern tools like generative AI and virtual whiteboards (think miro, mural, etc)
• You love, not tolerate, making plans that are accountable in places like Asana, etc
• You don’t mind explaining WHY you think something will work…with evidence
• Bachelor's degree in business, computer science, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
• You live a GROWTH mindset
• Demonstrated experience in product management (at least 2 years, this is not a first time PM opp), preferably in the software industry or AI technologies – some marketing and sales experience a distinct bonus
• Strong understanding of AI concepts, technologies, and their applications in real-world scenarios. You should be excited to explain, to an average/non technical person, the VALUE of AI not just the tech
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage with customers, sales teams, and internal stakeholders and not sound defensive
• Proven ability to translate customer feedback and market insights into actionable product requirements that can be quantified beyond user delight e.g., if we build X, we can get clients/prospects A, B, and C to commit to $
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a data-driven approach to decision-making. This means you can really get around in excel (pivot table+ skills)
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities effectively. This mean you default to urgency without doing work for works sake, a delicate balance but an important one
