- As a Product Manager at TribalScale, you will lead product discovery and delivery in close collaboration with clients, designers, and engineers. This is a consultative, client-facing role—you will be embedded in delivery teams, guiding decisions from problem definition through execution
- You will be expected to balance strategic thinking, delivery execution, and solid communication, while operating comfortably in ambiguity
- Importantly, our PMs are expected to be AI-fluent—both in how they work day-to-day and in how they help teams build AI-enabled products
- You bring a strong bias toward delivery and productivity. You actively unblock teams, maintain momentum, and help translate plans into real progress on a weekly basis. You are comfortable making pragmatic decisions to keep work moving, and you take ownership for ensuring teams deliver meaningful outcomes—not just well-documented intentions
- Product Discovery & Strategy
- Partner with clients to understand business problems and translate them into transparent product opportunities
- Lead discovery workshops, stakeholder interviews, and alignment sessions
- Define product goals, success metrics, and outcomes—not just features
- Evaluate trade-offs and make informed recommendations in uncertain environments
- Delivery & Execution
- Own and manage the product backlog, including prioritization, refinement, and roadmap planning
- Collaborate closely with Engineering and Design to deliver high-quality solutions
- Ensure clarity of requirements, acceptance criteria, and scope
- Proactively manage risks, dependencies, and changing priorities

- Communicate clearly and confidently about progress, risks, and trade-offs
- Help clients understand the “why” behind product decisions
- Represent TribalScale’s product and delivery maturity in every engagement
- AI for Personal & Team Productivity
- Actively use AI tools (e.g. LLMs) to improve your own effectiveness, such as:
- Drafting and refining product documentation
- Synthesizing research and stakeholder inputs
- Supporting analysis, planning, and decision-making
- Continuously explore and adopt AI-enabled workflows for product management and delivery
- Building AI-Enabled Products
- Collaborate with Engineering and Design to help shape AI-powered product experiences

- Key considerations such as data sources, grounding, hallucinations, latency, and cost
- Help define requirements, constraints, and success criteria for AI features
- Translate AI capabilities and limitations into clear, practical guidance for clients
- Note: You are not expected to build or train models—but you are expected to understand how AI systems work well enough to guide product decisions and conversations
- Work on meaningful,
complex problems across industries
- Collaborate with experienced product, design, and engineering leaders
- Strong emphasis on learning, feedback, and professional growth
- Opportunity to help shape how modern, AI-enabled products are built
