8d • Hybrid

About The Position

Prophetic Software is seeking a Product Manager with deep domain expertise in land development and real estate to drive product decisions for an AI-native platform. This role leverages an AI-augmented workflow to automate operational overhead, allowing the Product Manager to focus on defining problems, making trade-off decisions under ambiguity, and translating customer needs into product direction. The Product Manager will own one or more product areas within Discovery, Evaluation, or Execution, working closely with engineering, data, and AI teams to deliver features that accelerate client decision-making. The company emphasizes AI-augmented product management, freeing up PMs from tasks like status updates and backlog scoring to concentrate on strategic work.

Requirements

• 5+ years of product management experience in a technology company shipping production software.
• Direct domain experience in one or more of: land development, homebuilding, commercial real estate development, land brokerage, site planning, entitlements, or GIS/mapping platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to define product strategy and write clear, opinionated problem statements — not just feature lists.
• Experience working with AI/ML-powered products where model capabilities and data quality are core to the user experience.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills. You’ve shipped features by aligning engineering, design, data, and business stakeholders around a shared direction.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You can make defensible decisions when data is incomplete and adjust course as you learn.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with geospatial data, mapping technologies, or GIS platforms.
• Understanding of zoning codes, municipal permitting, or land use regulation at the county or municipal level.
• Familiarity with AI-powered search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or natural language interfaces for complex data.
• Experience with data pipeline products — understanding how data quality, coverage, and freshness translate into user trust.
• Background in proptech, land tech, or real estate SaaS.
• Comfort working with AI-augmented workflows and tools as part of your own PM process.

Responsibilities

• Own the backlog and roadmap for your area(s), grounded in deep understanding of how land developers, brokers, and acquisition teams actually work in the field.
• Define problems worth solving. Translate customer conversations, expert feedback, competitive signals, and market dynamics into clear problem statements with measurable success criteria.
• Make prioritization decisions that balance customer urgency, strategic value, and engineering feasibility — the scoring is automated, but the judgment is yours.
• Serve as the internal authority on how land acquisition professionals discover, evaluate, and execute on opportunities — including zoning research, site feasibility, entitlement processes, and competitive market analysis.
• Conduct customer discovery with enterprise homebuilders, multifamily developers, land brokerages, and industrial firms. Understand workflows, not just feature requests.
• Maintain competitive awareness across mapping platforms, land data providers, and AI-enabled real estate tools. Know where we lead, where we trail, and what’s emerging.
• Write executive summaries that frame problems for leadership decisions and detailed PRDs that give engineering clear, testable requirements.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, AI, and data teams through the build cycle. Be available for trade-off decisions, scope calls, and edge case resolution.
• Define acceptance criteria and success metrics that connect feature work to customer outcomes — not just output metrics.
• Work with Chief Product Officer and engineering to manage your product area in coordination across product areas where features span Discovery, Evaluation, and Execution boundaries — particularly data infrastructure and map layers that underpin multiple products.
• Partner with Sales and Account Management to translate pipeline feedback and client escalations into actionable product insights.

Benefits

• 100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you; 30% coverage for dependents
• Competitive salary and meaningful early-stage equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Hybrid/Remote stipend
• In-office perks: snacks, drinks, coffee, ping-pong table, and more — plus cuddles from Olive, our in-office Doberman!
• Budget for intra-office travel
• 2–3 annual team meetups in person
