AI-native Product Manager (Remote)

About ShortPoint

ShortPoint is a design software company that helps teams build beautiful intranet sites inside Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams. We are a remote-first, globally distributed team certified as a Great Place to Work and ranked #4 out of 15 Best Workplaces in Technology in the GCC, with regional offices in Dubai, Lviv, Ann Arbor, and London. We believe teamwork makes the dream work, and we keep our teams in sync and winning at scale. We are looking for a meticulous, proactive, and technically grounded Technical Product Manager to join our product team and work directly with our Product Director to keep our product engine running with precision and a great eye for design.

Role Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Product Manager to support the Product Director across the full product lifecycle. You will run and manage product meetings, turn ideas and discussions into clear, well-written user stories, create mockups with the help of modern AI tools, and keep everyone informed on the status of upcoming releases.

The ideal candidate combines strong product craft with genuine design sensibility and a solid technical foundation: you can follow engineering discussions with ease, reason about APIs and architecture, and dig into technical details when the situation calls for it. The stronger your technical depth, the better. You will bridge the gap between engineering, UI/UX design, and business priorities, and you should be comfortable working AI-first across your daily workflow.

Key Responsibilities

• Product Execution: Assist with the day-to-day product cadence alongside the Product Director, from meeting management and follow-ups through backlog grooming, story writing, and release tracking

• Story Writing: Write detailed, unambiguous user stories and acceptance criteria in Linear, and keep the backlog organized and sprint-ready

• Release Communication: Track release progress across engineering and QA, and proactively inform stakeholders of status, risks, and timelines

• AI-Assisted Design: Create wireframes and mockups using AI design and prototyping tools, and apply a strong eye for UI/UX to keep the product intuitive and polished (you will be asked to demonstrate this in the interview)

• AI Process Improvement: Being able to contribute to our processes by utilizing AI (Claude/ChatGPT work) to analyze data, close gaps, and resolve bottlenecks.

Required Qualifications & Experience

⚠️ Mandatory Screening Criteria: Candidates who do not meet the experience and background requirements below will not be considered.

• Total Experience: Minimum of 3 years of hands-on product management experience specifically within software/SaaS environments

• Industry Background: Must have direct experience working on B2B SaaS products; familiarity with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, or intranet products is a strong plus

• Tools & Ecosystems: Advanced, hands-on proficiency with Linear (or a similar agile tracking tool), GitHub, and Claude (CLI and app) or comparable AI tooling

• Design Literacy: Strong eye for design, foundational knowledge of UI/UX workflows, and proven ability to produce mockups with AI-assisted tools

• Technical Foundation: A solid technical background with strong software development familiarity; able to hold your own in discussions about APIs, web technologies, and architecture with engineers. Deeper hands-on experience, such as with JavaScript/React or the Microsoft 365/SharePoint ecosystem, is a significant advantage

• Include the word 'compass' in your application response to confirm you have read this posting carefully.

• Big Plus: A Claude Code or Codex project of your own that you can showcase and explain in the interview

• Location: Fully remote role; work from anywhere with reasonable overlap with the team
