Job description

Founding Product Manager, AI Prototyping, SaaS, San Francisco, COR7665 - Salary to $220k + Equity

A Founding Product Manager opportunity has emerged at a fast-growing, Series A startup operating at the frontier of AI and field operations software. This is a rare chance to own a product area end-to-end from day one, working closely with real-world operators and a founding team that moves at pace. Ready to shape what modern industry software looks like for the next decade?

The Role

The Founding Product Manager will take full ownership of a defined product area, driving it from early discovery right through to delivery. You will speak directly with customers, developing a deep understanding of their workflows and pain points, then translate those insights into product decisions that ship quickly and create genuine value.

You will use AI tools to build functional prototypes and get products the vast majority of the way there yourself, with engineering stepping in to complete the final stretch.

The Company

This is an opportunity to join a fast-scaling, US-based software business that has built an AI-native platform for a large, traditionally underserved sector. Founded only a few years ago, the company has already reached significant commercial momentum. With Series A funding secured and a sharp team of around 20 people, the business is at an exciting stage where early hires carry real influence and outsized ownership over the product direction.

What experience does the Founding Product Manager need?

• Strong product management experience gained at an early-stage startup, with a demonstrated ability to work independently and ship without heavy process overhead
• Proven capability using AI tools to build and iterate on product ideas without relying on engineering for every step
• Comfort engaging directly with non-technical, operational end users and turning those conversations into actionable product decisions
• Experience in logistics, field services, or vertical SaaS is a strong advantage
