Senior Product Manager – AI Products

Location: Remote — strong preference for candidates based in Canada

Employment Type: Full-time, Independent Contractor

Compensation: USD $100,000–$175,000/year

Company Overview

A design and product agency building AI-powered products and agentic experiences for leading global brands. The company is redefining how design organizations scale in the AI era while maintaining a strong focus on client experience, long-term partnerships, and team sustainability.

The Challenge

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead client projects from strategy through delivery and help build innovative AI-powered products.

This role combines product strategy, execution, and project leadership. The ideal candidate is highly client-facing, comfortable presenting to C-level stakeholders, and capable of guiding cross-functional teams while managing scope, timelines, budgets, and business outcomes.

This is best suited to a strategic product leader who has built products for external customers—not someone focused primarily on internal operations or process coordination.

You Will

• Lead client projects end-to-end, from product strategy and discovery through execution and delivery.
• Act as the primary point of contact for clients and build strong, long-term relationships.
• Translate user and business needs into clear product opportunities, requirements, and priorities.
• Guide cross-functional teams of researchers, designers, engineers, and other contributors.
• Manage project goals, scope, timelines, budgets, and stakeholder expectations.
• Deliver engaging product presentations to C-level executives.
• Collaborate with design and engineering teams on AI-powered features and intelligent systems.
• Develop and support business cases that integrate AI capabilities.
• Define user stories, product requirements, success metrics, and KPIs.
• Advocate for users while balancing client, business, and team needs.

Must-Haves

• Senior-level product management experience leading projects from strategy through delivery.
• Strong product strategy and product execution capabilities.
• Proven experience building and shipping products for external customers.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams and driving outcomes—not only coordinating tasks.
• Strong client-facing experience, including presentations to executive and C-level stakeholders.
• Ability to manage product vision alongside scope, timelines, budgets, and delivery.
• Solid understanding of design and software engineering principles.
• Experience creating product documentation, including requirements, user stories, roadmaps, and KPIs.
• Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills.
• Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Nice-to-Haves

• Based in Canada.
• Experience building AI-powered products, agentic experiences, or intelligent systems.
• Experience working in a product agency, design studio, consultancy, or client-services environment.
• Experience developing business cases for AI-enabled products.
• Strong knowledge of emerging AI technologies and product innovation.

Soft Skills

• Confident leadership and the ability to own the room with clients.
• Strong product intuition and strategic thinking.
• Empathy for users, clients, and team members.
• Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder-management skills.
• High ownership, autonomy, and accountability.
• Collaborative and team-oriented mindset.
• Curiosity about AI, emerging technologies, and new product experiences.
