Senior Product Manager

About the Role

What You'll Own

Working with people

• Be the primary driver for complex, high-impact initiatives that cut across modules
• Lead cross-functional work across engineering, design, PMM, CS, Support, and Sales. Resolve disagreements and keep everyone aligned through ambiguity
• Make difficult decisions under ambiguity, with strong independent product judgment

Building the roadmap

• Form your own view of where Zuddl wins, loses, and should differentiate. Spot market changes that should change direction
• Look past individual requests to find the systemic problems underneath, and decide which gaps deserve real investment
• Understand not just what competitors built, but why, and where they're heading. Decide where we match, differentiate, or ignore
• Prioritize major investments on your own and make the hard tradeoffs
• Own your OKRs and the roadmap behind them, including how modules fit together as one platform

Building the feature

• Bring strong customer intuition from repeated exposure to users and workflows. Form a sharp initial view, then use research to validate or challenge it
• Frame complex, ambiguous problems well. Challenge the premise and reframe before the team commits to a solution
• Write PRDs with clear justification for every call
• Have strong judgment on where to match the market, where to differentiate, and where not to invest
• Find the abstractions and platform investments that unlock multiple future features, without over-generalizing
• Break complex initiatives into stages that reduce product, customer, and technical risk
• Say no to low-leverage work, even under customer or internal pressure
• Hold a very high bar for end-to-end workflows. Catch the subtle friction and inconsistency others miss
• See second- and third-order consequences before they become customer or engineering problems

Shipping the feature

• Own the release plan for complex or high-risk launches: feature flags, rollout cohorts, backwards compatibility, and first-time user experience
• Anticipate what Sales, CS, Support, and Implementation will need, and drive enablement
• Shape positioning for complex or strategic launches, grounded in customer, market, and competitive understanding
• Work out why a launch is or isn't working, and decide the right response: product, UX, GTM, or enablement
• Assess partnership and integration opportunities with external third parties

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning a product end to end, from roadmap to execution
• Founder or founder-like experience strongly preferred: you've built and owned a product with that level of ownership and speed
• B2B SaaS experience is a must
• Startup experience is required. You're comfortable with ambiguity, limited resources, and fast iteration
• Experience at a marketing- or design-led company is a strong plus. So is event tech or martech
• Truly AI-native: AI is your default for research, specs, data analysis, and prototyping, and you can show us how
• You love technology and can hold detailed conversations with your engineering team. An engineering background is a bonus
• You go deep on data and turn it into decisions
• Excellent communicator and stakeholder manager. You tell the story well, listen to other views, and still drive the decision that's best for the customer and the business
• Equally comfortable on the long-term vision, next week's release, and what went wrong with last month's launch

How You Operate

• High agency: you turn business goals into execution plans without detailed direction
• First-principles thinker, willing to challenge "how we've always done it"
• Bias to action: you ship and iterate instead of waiting for perfect information
• You surface risks early
• Accountable: you own the wins and the misses

What Success Looks Like

• Your domain has a clear roadmap the company trusts and a track record of shipping against it
• Launches land well with customers, and Sales, CS, and Support are ready for them
• Your decisions hold up, and the team needs little leadership intervention to move

Why You Want To Work Here

• Competitive compensation
• ESOPs
• Remote working, with an option to rent coworking spaces
• Flexible leave program
• Home workstation setup allowance
• A culture built on trust, transparency, and integrity
• Ground floor opportunity at a fast-growing Series A startup
