About the role
Almost every company can now produce training video at scale. Almost none of them can tell you whether any of it made someone better at their job. We're building the product that closes that gap: an agentic, real-time experience where people practice live, dynamic scenarios, and where organisations finally get signal on genuine readiness instead of a simple metric tied to course completion. This is a 0-to-1 bet on what comes after content, which is practice, and proof. You'll own a domain within it from strategy to ship.
Why now:
Real-time, agentic AI has only just become good enough to hold a convincing live scenario. The window to define this category is open now, and we intend to own it.
The problem you're solving
Today, the most you can do to assess whether someone has genuinely learned something is watch them complete a module or pass a quiz. The behaviours that matter in real roles, in real moments, are rarely tested reliably.
We have the underlying technology to change that. What we need is a PM who can turn that into a product that an enterprise will use to prepare their people, and that a end user actually wants to engage with.
What you'll be doing
Owning the multi-quarter strategy for a domain within this new product bet - setting the direction, identifying the right problems to solve, and making the trade-offs needed to deliver against them
Defining and evolving the success metrics for the domain, and connecting product outcomes directly to commercial results - retention, expansion, and the revenue impact.
Getting close to the customers who matter most: understanding how they think, where current tools leave them exposed, and translating that into a product direction others can act on.
Driving a shared understanding of where this new product area is going and why - engineering, design, R&D, and commercial counterparts should all be able to articulate the strategy and the reasoning behind it.
Producing written narratives - strategy docs, PRDs - that move decisions forward and give your team the context to build the right thing without a follow-up conversation.
Balancing short-term delivery with long-term product health: scoping to reflect execution risk, hitting milestones predictably, and iterating based on evidence rather than opinion.
Mentoring IC5 PMs, contributing to improvements in product practice across the team, and actively participating in PM hiring.
Who you are
You've owned a critical product domain before - one where the stakes were real and the strategy was yours to set, not just execute. You're comfortable operating with autonomy on the what, not just the how, and you have a track record of connecting product decisions to commercial outcomes.
You understand that 0-to-1 products in complex domains require you to hold two things simultaneously: the discipline to deliver predictably in the short term, and the judgment to make the right long-term bets even when the evidence is still forming. You don't wait for a clean brief - you identify the right problems, form a view, and bring others along.
You're a strong written communicator. Engineering and design partners, commercial leads, and senior leadership should all come away from your docs and updates with a clear understanding of where the domain is going and why - without needing to ask.
You care about the quality of the experience. Real-time, agentic products are unforgiving, and you hold a high bar on what "good" feels like - for the user in the moment and for the customer looking at outcomes.
You may be a good fit if you bring
Significant experience in product management, with direct experience owning a critical product domain - setting strategy, not just executing it
A track record of connecting product outcomes to commercial results: ARR, retention, expansion, or equivalent
Experience with 0-to-1 product development in a complex, experience-driven space. You've navigated the 0-1 ambiguity and have the scar tissue to show for it
Have built agentic or AI-powered products. You understand what makes real-time AI interactions feel natural, and what breaks them
Strong written communication: strategy docs, PRDs, and decision memos that others can act on without a follow-up conversation
Experience working alongside enterprise buying motions. You'll be close to the commercial team and that context matters
We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every point above. Strong candidates rarely match a list exactly, and we'd rather hear from you.
