Job description

Role Summary

Specright is hiring an AI Product Manager to help build out an agentic AI-based PLM and product development solution spanning formulation, labeling, compliance, and specification management.

You'll work alongside our Agentic Software Engineers to ship production AI features. You'll be embedded in the product-engineering loop: writing structured requirements, prototyping in code, validating with customers, and iterating with the dev team daily.

This is a hands‑on, high‑agency role. We use AI extensively in how we work and not just in what we build. You'll leverage agentic tools daily for research, requirements, prototyping, and synthesis, and help define what modern product management looks like when AI is a real collaborator, not a novelty.

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Execution

• Define and prioritize features across your product areas, making smart bets on what to build, what to defer, and what to kill
• Maintain living requirements docs, context summaries, and decision records that the development team actually uses
• Write requirements in structured, testable formats (acceptance criteria, business rules, scope boundaries)

Engineering Collaboration

• Prototype UI concepts and workflows directly. You're comfortable spinning up a branch, mocking up a screen, or pair‑prototyping with an engineer
• Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and sprint planning as a technical peer

Customer & Domain Expertise

• Lead deep‑dive customer sessions with R&D managers, scientists, formulators, and regulatory specialists
• Translate complex domain problems into clear product decisions. You need to be comfortable going deep on industry‑specific workflows and regulatory requirements
• Maintain competitive intelligence and use it to inform roadmap and positioning decisions

Agentic Workflows

• Use and improve AI‑assisted workflows for requirements intake, competitive research, regulatory analysis, and backlog management
• Collaborate with an engineering team that ships using agentic coding tools and modern AI‑assisted development workflows

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of product management experience on technical, data‑intensive products like PLM, ERP, formulation, labeling, or supply chain software strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to work at the code level: prototyping, reading PRs, writing structured specs that engineers respect, debugging product behavior
• Deep comfort with AI‑assisted workflows. You already use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools to accelerate your own work, and you're not waiting for someone to teach you
• Strong customer‑facing skills where you can hold your own in a room with food scientists, regulatory experts, or enterprise IT leaders
• Clear, concise written communication as you write requirements that reduce ambiguity, not create it

Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Domain experience in Food & Beverage, Personal Care / Cosmetics, or Supplements
• Experience working in regulated product environments (FDA, USDA, EU, or similar)
• Familiarity with agentic AI patterns like tool calling, orchestration, retrieval pipelines, evals., sufficient to be a credible partner to engineering
• Background in B2B SaaS at a growth‑stage company

Why Specright

• Entrepreneurial culture. We're fast‑paced, informal, and flat. Collaboration and innovation matter more than hierarchy or fear of mistakes.
• Real impact. Your work will power AI capabilities that touch real supply chain decisions across major industries.
• Autonomy and ownership. We hire senior people and trust them to make decisions, ship fast, and continuously improve what they build.
• Global team. You'll collaborate across time zones with talented colleagues who care about craft.
• Competitive perks. Competitive salaries, flexible work hours, and a full benefits package (Medical, Vision, and Dental).
