Job description

Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.

Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.

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.

We’re hiring across several product areas: analytics tools that help marketing teams understand their brand’s performance on answer engines, an agent platform where marketers build and orchestrate agents to execute strategies and automate operations, and vertical solutions built for new use cases and strategic customer segments. As a Product Manager on the Core Product team, you’ll own one of these areas end to end: driving strategy, shaping the product, and delivering outcomes that matter to customers and the business.

What You’ll Do

• Craft the strategy and drive execution for one of Profound’s core product areas: Answer Engine Insights, Agent Analytics, and Prompt Volumes; the agent platform including background agents, the agent builder, and projects; or vertical solutions across Shopping, Ads, self-serve, and agency workflows
• Define how customers measure, understand, and improve their brand’s performance across AI-powered answer engines: from prompt monitoring and competitive benchmarking to agent-driven automation and vertical-specific workflows
• Expedite execution across engineering, design, data, and marketing by creating clarity, making decisions, and managing scope
• Optimize the team for velocity and quality shots on goal
• Be in front of customers every day to do discovery, get feedback, and sell
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Engagement teams so that we tell compelling stories to prospects and customers

Who You Are

• 5 or more years of experience building excellent software products, ideally in a startup or fast-moving company

• Strong product fundamentals with a spike in one or more of data, AI/ML systems, development, design, or enterprise go-to-market
• Willing to roll up your sleeves to help the team execute, whether that means creating prototypes, writing SQL, evaluating model outputs, building dashboards, creating content, or responding to support tickets
• You play on offense, creating and running toward opportunities and injecting energy into teams
• Experience as a founder, working at an early-stage startup, or launching zero-to-one products is a plus
