Founding Product Manager - Finance

About the role

We are seeking a Founding Product Manager to shape the multi-quarter strategy and roadmap for Sema4.ai’s AI finance agent portfolio. This role involves making strategic decisions on which finance workflows to automate, defining the underlying platform requirements, setting quality standards for agents that touch the ledger, and driving the narrative for the finance portfolio to market.

Responsibilities

• Shape the multi-quarter strategy and roadmap for AI finance agents, and own execution and delivery
• Make the hard portfolio calls: where to go deep vs. broad, what to build vs. partner for, when an agent is good enough to ship vs. needs more rigorous evals
• Drive the underlying platform requirements (Runbooks, Actions, Document Intelligence, HITL, observability, evals) that finance agents need
• Define the company-level quality bar for agents that touch the ledger: accuracy targets, SLAs, auditability, controls posture, rollback
• Partner with GTM leadership on positioning, packaging, and pricing for the finance portfolio; own the narrative we take to market
• Work closely with our design partner companies to understand gaps and opportunities, and drive these learnings back into the product
• Raise the bar for how the broader product org thinks about agents

Requirements

• 8+ years of product management experience, with a track record of shipping B2B SaaS or enterprise products at scale, including at least one product that materially moved business metrics
• Shipped AI/LLM-powered products in production and developed crisp opinions on evals, hallucination management, agent design, and the gap between flashy demos and customer-ready products
• Deep working knowledge of finance operations: you can hold a 90-minute working session with a controller about three-way match, period close, accruals, and SOX-relevant controls without losing the room
• Demonstrated influence beyond your direct scope — you've shaped roadmaps, platforms, or company strategy you didn't formally own
• Technical fluency to debate agent architecture, prompt/tooling design, RAG, eval frameworks, and integration patterns (ERPs, doc stores, messaging) with senior engineers as peers
• Executive presence with customers: you can run the room with a CFO and walk out with their next-quarter use case committed
• Crisp written communication, sharp prioritization instincts, and a bias to ship — even when the data is incomplete

Qualifications
