Product Manager, Design

Vagaro•Pleasanton, CA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

We're looking for a mid-level contributor who thinks like a PM and builds like a designer — someone who takes full ownership of features from first question through post-launch iteration. This isn't a handoff role. You define the problem, design the solution, partner with engineering through build, and validate the outcome. You bring both product judgment and design craft, and you use AI as a core part of how you work. This role is based onsite in Pleasanton, CA Monday through Friday.

Requirements

2–4+ years in product design, product management, or a hybrid role
Portfolio or case studies showing both product thinking and design execution
Strong ownership mindset — you drive problems to solutions without waiting to be directed
Fluent in AI tools across research, design, requirements writing, and prototyping
Comfortable in ambiguity — you structure unclear spaces and maintain momentum
Clear, direct communicator who names tradeoffs rather than glossing over them
Proficiency in Figma and modern prototyping tools
Experience with design systems and cross-functional engineering collaboration

Nice To Haves

Experience collaborating with distributed engineering teams
Formal PM training (e.g., Reforge, Product School) or design education

Responsibilities

Own the product direction of your features — problem framing, requirements, tradeoffs, scope, and delivery
Operate as both the product lead and the hands-on designer for your projects
Leverage AI across your workflow to multiply your output and the quality of your thinking
Partner with engineering as a peer throughout build — not just at handoff
Validate rigorously so your project is the single source of truth, end-to-end
