About The Position

Brief is a context navigator for product teams, aggregating business context—including decisions, customer research, work pipelines, and team knowledge—and making it accessible to people and AI agents through chat, Slack, CLI, and voice. The company believes product, design, and engineering are converging, and hires Product Builders to take ownership across these areas. This forward-deployed role supports major enterprise opportunities, including Fortune 500 teams, combining technology deployment with relationship-building and change management. The role focuses on deploying Brief and a new way of building within customer organizations, integrating their context, building adoption, and driving measurable improvements in product velocity. The Product Builder embeds with enterprise customers and works with technical founders, product managers, and engineering leaders. They deploy and configure Brief in each customer’s environment, lead organizational change, facilitate workshops, build internal champions, and bring field insights back to the product team. The role also involves hands-on prototyping, configuration, and demonstrations. The position is based in person at the San Francisco office, with travel to client offices.
