About the Role

We are looking for a Product Manager who operates like an owner, not a coordinator. This role sits at the center of delivery, client management, engineering execution, and AI-native operations.

You will work closely with founders, engineers, designers, QA, and clients to ensure products are delivered on time, within scope, and at a consistently high quality bar. You should be equally comfortable running sprint cadences, translating ambiguous business requirements into execution-ready tickets, and building AI-driven workflows that improve delivery efficiency.

This is a hands-on execution role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and can independently drive outcomes across multiple accounts.
