Job description

Profound is the marketing platform for the AI era. As people increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to decide what to buy, we give brands the intelligence to see how AI represents them and the Agents to act on it. Today, ~13% of the Fortune 500, plus companies like Ramp, Figma, Chime, Calendly, and DocuSign, use Profound to turn AI Search from a black box into a measurable growth channel.

Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures at a $1B valuation, we're a lean, fast-moving team across NYC, SF, Buenos Aires, and London, shipping at a relentless pace and defining a new category at the biggest shift in marketing in 25 years. If you want to do the best work of your career at the frontier of AI, come build it with us.

Product managers here are true product owners, responsible for discovery, execution, and delivery end to end. This is a chance to build at the frontier of AI and marketing and make an impact that bends the trajectory of the company.

Profound Agents research, write, and publish content on behalf of marketing teams. The work they produce needs a home. We're building an AI-native content management system from the ground up, and this PM will define and own it.

What You'll Do

• Define the vision and roadmap for Profound's AI-native CMS, built specifically for the way agents and humans work together
• Own how content is created, staged, reviewed, and published inside Profound, from the first agent draft to the moment it goes live
• Work directly with customers to understand how their content workflows actually operate and translate that into product decisions
• Partner with engineering and design to ship a CMS that sets a new bar for what AI-native content tooling can be
• Be in front of customers every day to do discovery, get feedback, and validate what you're building

Who You Are

• 5 or more years of experience building excellent software products, ideally at a startup or fast-moving company
• Deep understanding of how content workflows work: how teams create, review, approve, and publish at scale
• Strong product fundamentals and the ability to go from zero to one on a new surface
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams through ambiguity, create clarity, and push teams to ship
• Willing to roll up your sleeves to help the team execute, whether that means writing specs, sitting on customer calls, or digging into a broken workflow in production
• You play on offense, creating and running toward opportunities and injecting energy into places where there is none
• Experience with agentic or AI-assisted workflows is a strong plus
• Experience as a founder or building zero-to-one products is a plus

Location

This is an on-site role based in our NYC or SF office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.

Compensation

For this role, the expected base salary range is $200,000 to $300,000. Profound's total compensation package is designed to be competitive and includes base salary, equity, and a full range of benefits and perks. Final compensation will depend on factors such as your skills, experience, qualifications, and location, and will be determined during the interview process.
