Lead/Principal Product Manager

About Samplize

Samplize is reinventing how people choose paint. It delivers large peel-and-stick samples made with real manufacturer paint, such as Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Farrow & Ball, shipped overnight. Customers can peel, stick them to any wall, move them around as the light changes, and find the perfect color with zero mess and no wasted paint. Samplize is the flagship consumer brand of Material Bank, a $2B business operating in 37 countries.

About The Role

As our Lead/Principal Product Manager for the Samplize App, you will own a new consumer product end to end — from concept to a shipped, loved experience. Your first deliverable is the Samplize paint app: point your phone at a room and see real paint colors rendered onto your actual walls in your real lighting, then instantly understand what the job would cost. The app has three goals: own the “see it in your room” experience, drive Samplize sample sales in both directions, and build the path that helps people act on their chosen color.

What You'll Do

• Own the product: Set vision, strategy, and roadmap for the app, validated against real customer behavior and our existing audience
• Own the “see it in your room” experience (Pillar 1): Lead the AI / computer-vision visualization — best-in-world color accuracy and lighting realism
• Drive sample sales (Pillar 1): Use the app to grow core Samplize sample sales in both directions — “samples → app” and “app → samples”
• Build the path to action (Pillar 2): Own the cost-estimate engine and help users act on their chosen color — find a painter or buy the paint
• Turn research into product: Convert customer insight and data into a validated, differentiated experience

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years in product management, including shipping a 0-to-1 consumer mobile app that people actually use
• A self-starting, hands-on operator who drives outcomes independently — comfortable building without a large org or fully-baked requirements
• Experience owning technically hard products alongside ML, computer-vision, or AR engineering teams — you reason fluently about feasibility and tradeoffs
• Strong design and craft sensibility; you care deeply how things look and feel
• Data fluency — comfortable defining metrics, pricing logic, and instrumentation
