Founding Product Manager

About the role

Our client is looking for a mid-level Product Manager with 3+ years of experience who is an AI-native builder—someone who talks to customers, builds prototypes using AI tools, and ships product without waiting for engineers. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with blue-collar operators (truck drivers, business owners, field crews) and thrives in a scrappy, early-stage environment. Bonus points for experience in logistics, field services, or vertical SaaS.

Responsibilities

• Own an entire product area (sales and marketing suite or financial products) end-to-end, from customer discovery through shipping
• Talk directly to customers to understand pain points, workflows, and opportunities
• Build functional prototypes and get products 90% of the way there using AI tools, with engineering stepping in for the final 10%
• Hold the product vision for your area while making practical tradeoffs daily
• Become the in-house domain expert on your product surface
• Ship fast and iterate, with no lengthy PRD cycles or handoff culture

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in product management at early-stage startups
• Comfortable using AI prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude, GPT, Replit Agent, etc.) to build real product, not just mockups
• Strong customer discovery instincts and comfort working with non-technical, blue-collar end users
• Bias toward shipping over process; thrives without lengthy PRD cycles or handoff culture
• Comfortable in a scrappy, resource-constrained, early-stage environment

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k)
• Unlimited PTO

Pay

Base salary: $150,000–$220,000, depending on experience

Meaningful early-stage equity
