Remote contract opportunity This is a Product Manager position—not a Project Manager position. This role is responsible for determining what products should be built, why they should be built, who they should serve, and how they create measurable business value. It is not responsible for managing project schedules, tracking tasks, coordinating delivery timelines, or serving as a traditional Project Manager.

You will work closely with customers, engineering, UX/UI, sales, marketing, customer success, and executive leadership to identify market opportunities, define product strategy, validate customer needs, and deliver software solutions that solve meaningful business problems. We are looking for someone who is passionate about customer discovery, product strategy, and building products customers love. You should be equally comfortable interviewing users, analyzing market trends, collaborating with engineering, presenting to executives, and making data-informed product decisions.

The ideal candidate has proven experience taking products from 0-1 and scaling them from 1-N, transforming ideas into successful software products through customer discovery, market validation, product strategy, experimentation, and cross-functional leadership. While you do not need to be an engineer, you should possess the technical fluency necessary to collaborate effectively with engineering teams, understand modern software platforms, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and make informed product decisions. Engineering teams own architecture, technical design, and implementation.

You identify customer problems worth solving. You measure success through customer outcomes – not project completion. AI is embedded throughout product discovery, customer research, planning, documentation, engineering collaboration, and product management.

Customer adoption Customer satisfaction Working software —not project plans, meetings,



or task completion. If you enjoy solving complex customer problems, influencing product direction, and building cutting-edge software products, we'd love to talk. If you prefer managing schedules, coordinating project plans, or focusing primarily on Agile ceremonies, this role is probably not the right fit.
