FirstWork is a forward-deployed applied-AI company for frontline hiring, the largest and most heavily regulated labour market in the world. One platform carries a worker from application through onboarding, compliance verification, training and payroll, for enterprise customers across 40+ countries and a dozen-plus languages.
The scale is live, at roughly 50,000 new applicants a week and 2.5 million API requests a day. We bill on usage, per document validated and per agent action executed, so throughput and cost show up directly in revenue.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own a product line, the platform primitives beneath it, and the AI capabilities that run on top.
What you'll do
- Own the strategy, roadmap and commercial shape for a product line or platform portfolio.
- Integrate LLMs and agentic AI deeper into the product architecture.
- Innovate and enhance product capabilities, from new feature development to improving the maturity, accuracy and performance of existing features.
- Build new product lines from zero, taking a validated use case to a general, multi-tenant product.
- Decide which capabilities are assistive and which are autonomous, and set the evidence standard each must meet before acting without human review.
- Draw the boundary between deterministic, auditable rules and model-based judgement.
- Decide what becomes a shared platform primitive, what stays customer configuration, and what we decline to build.
- Own accuracy and evaluation infrastructure across the portfolio, including regression detection during scale-up.
- Own packaging, pricing and unit economics, including model cost and margin.
- Own the audit, evidence and explainability layer that operators and auditors depend on.
- Hire and coach product managers, and set the standard for specifications, decision records and design review.
- Represent the product in enterprise procurement, security review and AI governance discussions.
What we look for
- 8+ years of product management experience, including senior ownership of a platform or multi-product portfolio in B2B or enterprise software.
- Experience platformising a complex workflow product: extracting primitives, exposing them as configuration, and moving a second segment or vertical onto them without forking.
- Production experience with LLM or agentic systems, including ownership of accuracy, cost, latency, fallback design and autonomy decisions.
- A track record of both zero-to-one launches and scaling an established line past its first plateau.
- Strong technical judgement across data models, decision logic, throughput and agent architecture. This is not a functional product role.
- Commercial fluency across pricing, packaging, margin and cost to serve.
- Experience in a regulated domain, with judgement on when to be conservative and when to elevate to legal.
- Experience developing product managers, as a manager or as a senior individual contributor.
- Influence through writing and demonstrated results rather than authority.
Bonus
- Agentic systems where an agent takes real action in an external system.
- HR tech, workforce management, staffing, identity, payroll or financial infrastructure.
- Multi-region product work with regulatory variation as a design problem.
- Usage-based pricing design, including migration away from seat-based models.
- Experience at a forward-deployed or implementation-led company that became a product company.
- First product leader at a company, building the function from scratch.
- Experience working in AI-first or fast-moving product teams.
