Job description

Location: US Remote-friendly | California-based preferred

Team: Product | Reporting to Co-Founder & CEO

Tactiq transforms meetings from where work gets discussed to where work gets delivered. With excellence.

Over 1 million users across tens of thousands of teams rely on Tactiq to turn meeting conversations into exceptional outcomes. We're a Series A, Sydney-based SaaS company building AI note taker for Google Meet, Zoom, MS Teams, and Webex.

We're product-led growth: individuals adopt → teams form organically → enterprises discover value → they come to us. A great product that users love.

We're a small, AI-enabled team. That means high leverage, high autonomy, and every decision compounds.

The Role

As Principal Product Manager, you'll own the product strategy and execution across our different initiatives: Growth & Distribution, Core AI Excellence, Team & Collaboration, and Monetization & Packaging.

This is a hands‑on builder role. You'll prototype with AI tools, set up experiments, dig into analytics, talk to users weekly, and ship fast. You won’t wait for engineering to build you a dashboard or data science to run your analysis—you’ll do it yourself.

This isn’t traditional PM work. No lengthy PRDs. No stakeholder management theater. This is: identify the problem, build the hypothesis, test it, learn, iterate. Repeat.

What You’ll Actually Do Day‑to‑Day

• Build with AI: Prototype features using Cursor, Claude, GPT, or internal tools. Test prompts. Ship MVPs.
• Run experiments: Set up A/B tests, define success metrics, analyze results, make the call.
• Deep dive analytics: Pull your own data in Mixpanel/SQL. Find the insight no one else sees.
• Talk to users: Weekly user interviews. Not quarterly research projects—continuous discovery.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

• Have 8+ years in product roles, with at least 3+ years in B2B SaaS PLG
• Have built products with AI, not just managed AI products. You've engineered prompts, tested models, shipped AI features.
• Are deeply technical: You run your own SQL queries, build dashboards, and don’t wait for analysts.
• Have set up and run A/B tests end‑to‑end: hypothesis, instrumentation, analysis, decision.
• Do continuous user research: You talk to users weekly. You can run a 20‑minute interview that uncovers what surveys never would.
• Iterate fast
• Understand PLG mechanics: activation, habit loops, expansion triggers. You’ve built products that grow themselves.
• Are a builder first: You’d rather ship a rough prototype today than a polished spec next week.

Bonus Points

• You’ve been a founding PM or sole PM at a high‑growth startup
• You’ve built AI agents, MCPs, or workflow automations
• You’ve worked on meeting/productivity/collaboration tools
• You understand the Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams ecosystems
• Equity: Stock options are part of the package. You’ll have real ownership in what you’re building.
• Leverage: Small AI‑enabled team = 10x the impact. You’ll own core product decisions.
• Ownership: Principal‑level scope without layers of approval. Your judgment matters.
• Timing: AI meeting intelligence is early. The category is being defined now. You’ll shape it.
• Scale: 1M+ users, real revenue, PLG motion working. You’re not starting from zero.
• Learning: This is where you learn to build with AI at the cutting edge. We’re shipping AI‑native product at startup speed
• Modern Tooling: Linear, Mixpanel, Intercom, Miro, Notion, Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT and whatever else you need.
• Flexibility: Remote‑friendly, autonomy‑first culture. We trust you to do your best work.

Our Values

• Build what is right for the customer: We move from customer feedback to customer outcomes ASAP.
• Ship fast but thoughtfully: We look ahead, but deliver every day. Outcomes over activity.
• Data‑driven decision making: We use rigorous analytical thinking. Data informs, intuition guides.
• Autonomy allows us to do our best work: We work independently, collaborate in small teams, keep noise minimal.
• Transparency, trust, empathy: We communicate clearly, share openly, and elevate each other.
• Measured growth drives long‑term success: We don’t grow for growth’s sake. We organize ourselves to bring out the best in our people and focus on what customers need.
