About The Position

Black Ore is building an AI platform for financial services. Its flagship product, Tax Autopilot, uses AI agents to automate tax preparation and compliance for CPA and tax firms. The Product Manager will own key areas of the tax product, determine what to build and why, and partner with engineering and design to deliver software used by tax professionals during filing seasons. The role calls for firsthand U.S. tax experience to inform product strategy and translate tax workflows, judgment calls, and customer pain points into product decisions.

The Product Manager owns product areas from discovery through launch and iteration, engages customers to identify high-impact problems, and writes product requirements and user stories that translate complex tax rules into scoped requirements with acceptance criteria. The role also sets and monitors success metrics, coordinates launches with go-to-market and customer-facing teams, keeps the product current with tax law and IRS updates, and serves as a tax subject-matter expert across the product team.

• A track record of shipping products from idea to launch and measuring results.
• Strong product judgment, including the ability to prioritize, say no, and explain why.

• Set success metrics for features, track adoption and accuracy, and use data and feedback to decide what comes next.

• Keep the product current with tax law changes, IRS updates, and filing-season deadlines.
