Product Lead

Inception-1 creates AI-driven products that help people feel more connected and less alone. Our mission is to build meaningful digital experiences that blend technology with empathy — and to prove that AI can be both human and transformative.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager / Product Lead to lead our web-based AI companionship products and drive their next stage of growth.
You will be ultimately responsible for achieving LTV and PMF targets — owning product strategy, leading a cross-functional team, and improving retention and monetization through data-driven development and experimentation.
We are evangelists of the Product Engineering culture and aim to maximize the number of roles that deliver value to users end-to-end. This means you will manage and coach a team of Product Engineers who are responsible for the full development chain: from analysis to delivery.
We also expect you to conduct your own deep analytics, be AI-native — experience with vibe coding features would be great — and consider final quantifiable value to be king.

Responsibilities
We only value tangible results — no matter what you do. But we assume that to deliver real profits, you would need to:
Own product strategy and execution in alignment with company goals.
Drive monetization through subscriptions and in-app purchases.
Lead cross-functional collaboration across engineering, marketing, design, and analytics.
Continuously improve product management processes and coach the team to improve its effectiveness.
Conduct market and competitor analysis to inform positioning and innovation.
Implement analytics automation.
Run A/B, MVT, and Multi-armed tests and implement insights to boost engagement and retention.

Requirements
4+ years of experience in product management.
Experience with subscription-based products.
A strong analytical mindset with the ability to derive insights from data and research. Great knowledge of statistical instruments.
Excellent leadership and stakeholder management skills.
Comfortable working in a very fast-paced environment.
A bias for action, passion for growth, and an ownership mentality.

Nice to Have
Experience in AI companionship, social discovery, or dating products.
Vibe-coded pet projects / features.
A background in performance marketing or user acquisition.
