Lead Product Manager

This is a Lead Product Manager role that will own the overall product direction from problem definition to GTM-ready product in the early innings of building a category-defining AI platform. You'll operate at the intersection of customers, AI engineering, and business strategy, owning how we create a product enterprises depend on every day. You'll be the single point of accountability for product outcomes, partnering directly with the founders. This is a hands-on role 01 for someone who thinks in customer outcomes, ships fast, and wants to shape what Coreworks becomes.

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

Own the Product Vision and Roadmap:

• Translate the founders' long-term bets into a clear, sequenced roadmap.
• Make sharp prioritization calls on what to build, what to kill, and what to wait on.
• Communicate the "why" behind every bet to engineering, design, and GTM.

Lead Discovery and Customer Development:

• Run structured discovery customer interviews, workflow mapping, and pain identification.
• Turn fuzzy enterprise pain into crisp, scoped product problems worth solving.
• Be the loudest customer voice in every room.

Drive 01 Execution:

• Partner closely with engineering to ship fast, learn fast, and iterate.
• Write clear PRDs, specs, and product narratives that align the team.
• Run tight build-measure-learn loops: kill what doesn't work and double down on what does.
• Own outcomes end-to-end, from beta users to enterprise rollouts.

Build for AI-Native Workflows:

• Design products around multi-agent systems, LLMs, and probabilistic outputs.
• Define what "good" looks like: evaluations, accuracy benchmarks, trust signals, and traceability.
• Balance AI capability with UX simplicity so outputs are usable, not just impressive.
• Think hard about hallucination, accuracy, and how enterprises actually adopt agentic AI.

Connect Product to GTM:

• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with GTM, design, and founders to shape positioning and pricing.
• Inform sales motions, onboarding, and customer success with deep product context.
• Use customer signals and usage data to shape both product and go-to-market decisions.
• Drive activation, retention, and expansion as first-class product metrics.

Build the Product Function:

• Lay the foundation for how products are done at Coreworks: rituals, docs, and decision-making.
• Set the bar for craft, customer empathy, and shipping speed.
• Mentor and eventually hire as the product team scales.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of product management experience, with at least 2+ years owning a product (or major surface area) end-to-end as the senior-most PM on it.
• Demonstrated track record of shipping a product that found real traction, not just iterating on a mature one.
• Experience building for technical or enterprise buyers' finance, analytics, ops, or data teams is a strong plus.
• Hands-on with AI/LLM-powered products, agentic workflows, or data-heavy platforms; comfortable making product calls on probabilistic systems.
• Sharp product sense: you can tell a great solution from a clever one, a real problem from a vanity one, and a 10x feature from a 10% one.
• Highly analytical, comfortable defining metrics, instrumenting products, reading data, and designing evals; SQL fluency is a plus.
• Excellent writer and communicator your PRDs, narratives, and updates create clarity across engineering, design, and GTM.
• Strong technical depth you can hold your own in architecture conversations, read API specs, and reason about tradeoffs with engineers.
• Operating maturity that punches above years of experience, being comfortable being the most senior PM in the room, driving alignment with founders, and making calls without escalation.
• Startup-ready: thrives in ambiguity, autonomy, and speed; wears many hats without flinching.
• Systems thinker: you connect customer pain, product bet, metric, and business outcome.
• Bias for action you ship, learn, and iterate faster than most.
