Job description

Company: AI Native Growth Platform for SMBs

Location: US East Coast-Based, Remote

Role: Founding Senior Product Manager

We’re partnering with a well-funded, AI-native startup to place their founding PM in the US market, a high-impact, 0-to-1 role with a direct line to the founders.

The Company

A $16M seed-backed startup building the next generation of AI-powered growth tools for small businesses. Backed by VCs behind some of the most recognized names in AI, with a major strategic investor in the SMB space. Fast-moving, high-talent team with a core product org overseas and a growing US presence.

The Role

This is the product role that defines how an American small business owner discovers, adopts, and ultimately trusts an AI that acts on their behalf. You’ll own the full PLG motion from acquisition, onboarding, activation, engagement, and upgrade.

You’ll be the first product hire on the ground in the US, working directly with the founders and the overseas product team. Expect to sit at the intersection of product and marketing.

You’ll Own

• The end-to-end PLG motion, from the moment someone first hears about the product through their decision to upgrade and everything in between.
• The first-week experience: what a new owner sees, what the AI does right away on their behalf, and the moment they decide to trust it
• The loops that bring owners back from lifecycle messaging, proactive nudges, and the in-product moments where value has to speak for itself
• US positioning in product and onboarding from the language, the story, the copy, etc
• A fast learning cadence: weekly owner conversations, your own data, clear hypotheses, shipped experiments, and the willingness to change your mind

Your experience

• 5+ years in product, with most of that time in growth, PLG, onboarding, or lifecycle at a self-serve or SMB focused software company
• Genuine SMB fluency: you’ve built products for small business owners, sold to them, or run one yourself
• You’ve shipped a conversational or generative AI product and know how to evaluate what the model actually produced, not just whether the feature went live
• You live inside AI tools in your own workflow: comfortable with prompts, evals, and knowing what to do when the model gets it wrong
• 0-to-1 story: a product, motion, or market that didn’t exist until you built it
• You pull your own data, design your own experiments, and construct a point of view from what you find, no analyst required
• Writing that does work: you know a single sentence can carry a screen
• High comfort with ambiguity: you make calls at 70% information and ship weekly
• US East Coast-based, regular overlap with the overseas team
• Bonus: background in growth marketing or product marketing, or you’ve founded something

Why This Role

Competitive comp, meaningful equity, and full ownership of how a new AI category shows up in the US market. You get to help write the playbook.
