Founding Product Manager

Crucibl•San Francisco, CA

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Crucibl is building an AI-native strategy consulting platform to address the breaking model of traditional management consulting. The company is profitable, growing fast, and serving Fortune 500 clients. They raised a $10M seed round and are now scaling to meet client demand. This role is for someone who has shipped impactful products and wants to work at the intersection of client delivery and product strategy, translating field learnings into a product roadmap and engineering output into client leverage. The opportunity is to scale a winning hand, shape a new category, and work directly with founders who have deep technology and business experience.

Requirements

3–7 years in product management, ideally at a company where product decisions had direct, high-stakes business consequences.
Shipped end-to-end, not just supported — you've owned a roadmap, made prioritization calls, and lived with the outcomes.
Experience with AI/ML products, data-heavy products, or enterprise B2B software a strong plus.
You want to build in the field, not from a spec doc. You want your roadmap shaped by real client conversations, not just a backlog of requests.
You're excited about AI and genuinely curious how these systems reason and fail — you don't need to write the model code, but you should want to understand it.
You want a company where your judgment changes the product, not just the release notes.
You thrive in ambiguity. You take vague, high-stakes business problems and turn them into concrete product bets.
You make progress without waiting for perfect information.
You communicate proactively — with engineers when scope needs to shift, and with delivery teams when you spot a pattern worth building for.
Bias toward shipping over endless discovery.
You're an exceptional communicator. You can turn client and delivery feedback into a crisp, prioritized narrative that engineering can act on.
Your written specs are clear, structured, and decision-ready.
You build trust quickly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Own the roadmap for our AI agent platform, prioritizing against real client engagements rather than hypothetical use cases.
Work directly with strategists and clients to turn delivery pain points and "we wish it could also do X" moments into concrete product requirements.
Partner daily with engineering to scope, sequence, and ship — you're close enough to the work to make fast calls, not just write tickets.
Define how our AI agents structure ambiguous business problems, execute analysis, and present recommendations — the product is the analytical framework, not just the interface.
Define what "good" looks like for an AI-delivered engagement and build the feedback loops to get there faster each time.
Build real expertise in verticals like CPG, healthcare, financial services, or industrials, so your product decisions reflect what actually matters to clients in each space.
