Principal Product Manager

Osano • Austin, TX

5h • Remote

About The Position

Osano is seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead and drive strategic product areas within its platform. This role requires a high degree of ownership and a focus on execution, functioning as a mini-General Manager for a product area. The position involves balancing customer needs, product strategy, engineering alignment, operational rigor, and business outcomes. The role has two main dimensions: Product Ownership, which includes owning the roadmap, prioritization, and continuous delivery, ensuring Engineering has a clear understanding of what is being built and why it matters. The second dimension is Principal-Level Operational Leadership, where the individual will help improve consistency, mentor peers, and shape product development practices, especially in an AI-native environment. This role is suited for individuals who thrive in ambiguity, are decisive, embrace ownership, and prefer building and shipping over process-heavy management.

• Experience building and executing 6–12 month product roadmaps

• Clearly demonstrate how you have questioned, learned and used AI in the last 24 months to reinvent your product craft.
