Job Summary
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.
Key Responsibilities
- Delivery &
- Sprint Operations: Own sprint planning, backlog management, stand-ups, retrospectives, and release coordination. Drive execution cadence across pods and ensure predictable delivery. Maintain accurate status reporting, delivery tracking, risk logs, and stakeholder communication. Control scope proactively and prevent delivery drift. Surface blockers early and ensure timely resolution.
- Business-to-Technical Translation: Convert founder ideas, business requirements, and client requests into clear engineering-ready specifications and tickets. Ensure product intent is preserved without over complicating scope. Collaborate closely with engineering and design teams to align execution with business priorities.
- AI-Native Workflow Building: Build and deploy AI-driven workflows, prompts, agents, and analysis pipelines to improve delivery operations.
Identify repetitive operational tasks and automate them wherever possible. Use AI tools hands-on to accelerate documentation, reporting, sprint analysis, and workflow management.
- Technical &
- Engineering Collaboration: Read and understand codebases at a high level. Participate meaningfully in architecture and technical discussions. Identify inconsistencies, risks, or technical gaps during delivery conversations. Work effectively with engineering teams without becoming a bottleneck or micromanager.

- Account Ownership &
- Client Management: Own client accounts end-to-end from onboarding to delivery continuity. Run weekly client updates, monthly retrospectives, and stakeholder reviews. Build strong founder/client relationships beyond formal meetings. Anticipate issues before escalation and communicate proactively. Identify upsell, renewal, and expansion opportunities for Tequity. Deliver difficult updates transparently while maintaining trust.
- Cross-Functional Pod Coordination:
Coordinate execution across engineering, design, and QA teams. Lead without relying on direct reporting authority. Support the pod actively instead of managing from a distance. Ensure accountability, alignment, and smooth collaboration across functions.
- Stakeholder Persuasion &
- Negotiation: Drive alignment on scope, timelines, quality standards, and technical debt allocation. Negotiate priorities effectively while balancing delivery constraints and business goals. Influence clients and internal teams using data, trust, and execution credibility.
