About The Position

We are hiring a Founding Product Manager to help scale an AI-native workflow platform transforming one of the world’s largest and least automated industries — construction. This is a high-ownership role focused on moving from human-operated services to AI-driven product workflows. You will operate in a weekly spec-to-ship cadence and work directly with founders and engineering to define what gets automated next — and how.

Requirements

4–8 years in Product Management
Prior early-stage startup experience
Demonstrated end-to-end product ownership
Strong execution speed — prefers shipping v1 early vs polishing v3
Strong written communication (engineer-ready PRDs)
AI-native fluency (Claude, Codex, agentic workflows used in production)
Experience shipping product — not just planning it
Construction / AEC / vertical SaaS exposure
Experience turning human-operated workflows into product
Technical literacy (can read code)
Experience scaling product from ~$1M to $100M ARR
AI-native vertical SaaS background

Responsibilities

Own a product surface end-to-end (PRD → standup → QA → demo → metric impact)
Operate in a weekly spec-to-ship cadence
Write clear product specs in documents (not decks)
Sit directly with estimators and contractors observing live workflows
Decide which parts of human-operated workflow should transition to software — and in what order
QA features on live customer bids
Define and track measurable success metrics: Cycle time per bid, Scope completeness, Vendor quote turnaround, Win rate
Partner closely with CTO, engineers, and founders
Maintain high velocity without breaking what already works
