Technical Product Manager

About the role

At 8090, we identify inefficiencies in enterprise operations and deliver AI-powered solutions tailored to each problem. Co-founded and led by Chamath Palihapitiya, we're building a Software Factory that can generate complete software solutions from initial concepts, eliminating the bloated complexity and overhead of traditional software development. The Opportunity: We are hiring an exceptional Technical Product Manager to join 8090 in a mission-critical, customer-centric role. Our TPMs operate as forward-deployed product leaders, owning the full lifecycle of AI-first enterprise solutions, from early discovery through live deployment and iteration in production environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead discovery with prospective and committed customers to identify technical risks (APIs, integrations, data availability, security constraints) and create accurate, execution-ready PRDs.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into concrete solution designs, including building or contributing to live POCs when needed.
• Partner closely with engineering to validate feasibility, reduce ambiguity, and accelerate delivery.
• Drive execution under real-world constraints: resources, timelines, and enterprise governance.
• Own project governance, success metrics, and delivery milestones from pre-sales through production.
• Serve as the primary interface with customers, facilitating discovery workshops, steering committees, and executive reviews.
• Create and deliver tailored communications ranging from executive-level project updates to detailed iteration plans.
• Anticipate and surface “unforced errors” early (missing data, undocumented APIs, unrealistic assumptions) to prevent downstream delivery risk.
• Balance speed and rigor in discovery, moving fast without compromising solution integrity.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management with emphasis on enterprise software creation.
• Proven ownership of the full product lifecycle, from discovery through production and iteration.
• Strong technical background with hands-on exposure to software systems.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication, with a history of impactful stakeholder management.
• Familiarity with data science, ML concepts, and non-deterministic systems in real deployments.

Skills

• Demonstrated success delivering enterprise software solutions end-to-end, ideally involving AI/ML systems.
• Ability to build and deploy solutions inside complex enterprise environments, not just design them.
• Strong technical intuition and credibility with senior engineers.
• Experience operating effectively with small internal teams and large, demanding customer organizations.
• Clear, confident communicator at both executive and technical levels.
• Domain expertise in Health and Life Sciences industries.
