Product Manager

About The Position

This role is for a Product Manager who will own the long-term product roadmap and translate vision into a sequenced plan. Unlike typical PM roles, this position does not involve executing a pre-defined roadmap but rather driving open questions and decisions related to product direction. The ideal candidate will have experience owning a product line end-to-end, focusing on creating a seamless user experience rather than just feature completeness. A strong understanding of AI tools and the ability to make complex technical concepts accessible to non-AI-native users are essential. The company, edisyl, builds AI solutions for institutional data, with proven technology and active deployments, and is now focusing on scaling its enterprise motion. This role is crucial for defining and owning the product strategy as the company grows.

Requirements

~7+ years in product, with senior end-to-end ownership of a product line or surface
Owned a roadmap and been accountable for outcomes (adoption, retention, growth), not just shipping
Shipped a product where simplicity or ease-of-adoption was the core challenge
Has driven real AI/product adoption inside large organizations, not just shipped a pilot
Worked closely with engineering and data science on a technical product, without needing the infrastructure translated
Roadmap and sequencing judgment. You can turn a vision and a pile of market signals into a plan where each build sets up the next.
Product taste. You relentlessly cut toward effortless rather than defaulting to feature-completeness.
Real discovery instincts. Not running calls for their own sake, but hearing something you didn't already believe and changing course because of it.
Backbone, delivered as consensus, not decree. You push back on vision — and on engineering's default architecture — when the market or the product disagrees with it. You get there by asking the right questions and bringing people along, not by declaring "do it this way."
Product thinking over process. You're organized because it drives value to customers fast, not because a granular plan feels like progress. You'd rather write a direction doc that lets the team generate its own tickets than write every ticket yourself.
Comfortable building in Claude Code or similar AI tools and tracking the rough edges of what's possible right now.

Nice To Haves

Consumer or prosumer product experience where ease-of-adoption was the whole game
Product shipped to large-enterprise or Fortune 500 buyers
Founder or early-stage operator experience
A 0-to-1 product built, not only scaled

Responsibilities

Own the long-term product roadmap, translating vision into a sequenced plan where each build deliberately compounds the next, and driving alignment on it across leadership and the team.
Run continuous customer and market discovery, maintaining ongoing contact with users and the market, synthesizing what comes back, and feeding it into roadmap decisions as a standing input, not a one-off.
Drive open product-architecture decisions to resolution — provenance, the public/private seam, version propagation across packs, consumer-facing vocabulary — from fuzzy to decided.
Think through the in-the-weeds product architecture — the specific edge cases, like how access or permissions behave under a given condition — before engineering picks it up, so the details are already decided rather than discovered mid-build.
Define and prioritize what gets built: write the specs, set sequencing, and make the prioritization calls that keep a self-managing team pointed at the compounding plan.
Partner closely with engineering and data science on knowledge-base quality, and with sales and customer success on what's closing, where deals stall, and what drives adoption.
