We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to define product strategy and lead delivery across major client engagements. This role is ideal for a seasoned product leader who can own the full product lifecycle, build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, and bring both strategic vision and hands-on delivery discipline to the engagements they support.
Key Responsibilities
Craft & Delivery
- Define product strategy and vision for major client engagements, setting direction in alignment with client goals and business outcomes
- Own the product roadmap end-to-end, driving prioritization across business value, technical constraints, and delivery timelines
- Lead complex discovery and problem framing with senior client stakeholders, ensuring the right problems are defined before solutions are built
- Define product success metrics and use data to evaluate outcomes, inform priorities, and drive continuous improvement
- Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, design, delivery, and strategy to keep complex engagements moving
- Bring an AI-forward mindset to your daily work, using tools like Claude to drive product discovery, research synthesis, and documentation at speed
Collaboration & Communication
- Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships with client leadership, serving as a reliable strategic partner on product direction
- Communicate strategy, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly and confidently at the executive level
- Lead complex stakeholder working sessions, workshops, and decision-making forums across large, multi-stakeholder organizations
Leadership & Influence
- Establish product delivery standards and practices on the engagements you support
- Mentor senior and mid-level PMs, helping them grow their product thinking, client skills, and delivery impact
- Act as a technical escalation point on complex product, scope, and prioritization challenges
Required Skills
- 7+ years of experience in product management, with a strong consultative background
- Demonstrated ability to define product strategy and vision for complex digital engagements
- Deep experience leading discovery, roadmapping, and delivery across multi-stakeholder environments
- Strong executive communication and client advisory skills
- Track record of driving cross-functional alignment and influencing without authority
- Experience defining and tracking product success metrics
- High accountability, ownership, and follow-through
- Proficiency with product tools across discovery, roadmapping, and delivery (e.g., Jira, Productboard, Amplitude, Miro)
- Deep applied experience with AI tools to drive product discovery, research synthesis, and documentation at speed (e.g., Claude)
- Experience in a consulting or professional services environment, or exposure to AI/ML product development or data platforms, is a plus
You’ll Do Well Here if You Are
- A doer. You see something broken and fix it. You'd rather move on clarity than wait for certainty.
- A fast learner who knows you don't know everything. The AI landscape changes weekly. You're senior enough to know better and curious enough to keep learning anyway.
- Direct in a way that makes the work better. You give honest feedback. You'd rather have the hard conversation than blow smoke.
- Obsessed with craft. You know genius is in the details. You ship exceptional, not perfect, and you don't put your name on work you wouldn't stand behind.
- Built for ownership. You honor commitments, admit mistakes fast, and back your teammates when a decision costs something. No handoffs, no finger-pointing.
- All in. You treat clients' businesses like your own. You take the work seriously without taking yourself seriously.
- Resourceful when the budget, timeline, or team is tight. Constraints don't slow you down. They sharpen you.
- Glad to be in the room with people who care as much as you do. Our teams average fifteen-plus years of experience. We hire people who push each other to do better work.
