Job description

Founding Product Manager – AI / Voice Tech (NYC)

A venture-backed, seed-stage AI startup in New York City is hiring its first dedicated Product Manager. The company builds a voice and messaging platform that helps revenue teams convert inbound leads at scale using AI agents, and is expanding into a broader autonomous product layer. It's a small, flat team working across several high-consideration consumer industries (real estate, insurance, mortgage, education, legal).

This is a hands-on, builder-focused seat — you'll own how the product shows up in the market, work directly with the two co-founders, translate vision into shipped features, and tackle unsolved AI product problems around agent UX, conversation intelligence, and trust.

Location:

Chelsea, Manhattan — hybrid, in office 3 days/week

Preferred:

• 2+ years of Product Management experience, or founder experience in lieu of it
• Has taken a product from zero to one (shipped and adopted, not just designed)
• Can code on the front end (React/TypeScript-level fluency)
• Daily, fluent user of AI tools in your workflow — not just occasional use
