Job summary

Smokeball, Inc. in Chicago seeks a Senior Product Manager to rebuild and expand its Personal Injury (PI) offering. You will own the PI roadmap, run discovery with US PI firms, and work with our Australia-based engineers to prototype and ship features.

You’ll use AI tools for rapid validation and shape the product in fast cycles. This hybrid role is based in our Chicago, IL office, with in-person days on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Qualifications

• B2B SaaS product management experience, having taken products from problem definition through launch (typically six+ years, though we care more about scope of ownership than tenure)
• Ownership of a product area or portfolio, accountable for roadmap and outcomes — not just feature delivery
• A track record of modernizing or replacing existing functionality with real users on it, not only greenfield work
• Hands‑on comfort with AI‑assisted design and prototyping, including using Claude Code or similar tools yourself
• Ability to create your own wireframes and prototypes without waiting on a designer
• Experience working effectively with a distant-time-zone engineering team
• Experience collaborating with and mentoring other product managers.
• Strong analytical instincts and excellent communication across levels
• Comfortable collaborating across time zones, with flexibility to join calls with our Australian team.

Responsibilities

• Own the PI roadmap and set priorities based on customer impact and value.
• Collaborate with Sales, Customer Success, and Support to identify problems.
• Work with Engineering across time zones to deliver prototypes and features.
• Lead discovery with customer interviews and usability validation.
• Support launches and track adoption with Marketing and feedback loops.
