LawnStarter; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 140,000 - 185,000; Full time

Job summary

LawnStarter is seeking a Product Manager to own high‑stakes initiatives across acquisition, delivery, and AI‑driven operations. You'll join small, focused teams and shape the roadmap from day one. You’ll define problems, own metrics, and drive cross‑functional execution with engineering and design.

AI will be central to daily work, helping draft specs, analyze data, and iterate quickly. Ideal candidates are AI‑savvy, structured in unstructured contexts, and excellent communicators who can say no

Qualifications

• AI-native: you use AI daily to move faster in drafting specs and prototyping.
• Exceptional at data, or exceptional at customer taste: great at one, and at least good at the other.
• A structured thinker in unstructured situations.
• An excellent communicator who says no with reason.
• Bias for action.

Responsibilities

• A workstream within a swim lane: full ownership of multiple initiatives tied to a 2026 bet, whether that's customer acquisition, service delivery and retention, or AI‑driven operating efficiency
• Problem definition: turning ambiguous, multi‑layered problems into a clear "here's what we're solving and why" that earns cross‑functional buy‑in
• Metrics ownership: a specific business metric (conversion, retention, Pro supply, cost‑to‑serve) you're accountable for moving, not just influencing
• Cross‑functional execution: driving a dedicated engineering/design pod from problem to shipped outcome, including calls on what NOT to build
• AI‑forward workflow: using AI daily in your own work, and pushing your team to find where it compresses timelines too
