Job description

This is the first product manager seat at a fast-moving startup, so the work covers everything from shaping an idea to getting it shipped. A strong candidate has about eight years in product, has built something from nothing in a messy early-stage setting, and makes decisions from data. Comfort with financial products and the rules around them matters, as does real care for everyday users.

How it fits the AI era

The product itself is an AI guide meant to tell people what to do next with their money, so the PM decides where AI helps and where it could mislead. Day to day, AI tools like Claude and Cursor are expected to be part of how the work gets done, speeding up specs, analysis and prototypes. Judgment about user trust, regulated advice and what to build first stays with people.

How it builds AI experience

Someone in this seat would help shape an AI coach used by a large base of new investors, which is rare hands-on experience with consumer AI in finance. Without that background, a good way to build it is to use AI tools for real product work and study how AI guidance should behave in a regulated setting. A small project that turns user questions about money into safe, clear next steps would be a useful example.

Worth showing

• First PM at a startup
• Fintech and regulation knowledge
• Daily AI tool use
