42d

About The Position

We’re seeking a highly analytical, technically fluent Product Manager to spearhead research into Jellyfish’s competitive and partner ecosystem, with a sharp lens on the influence of AI-driven companies. You’ll sit at the intersection of market intelligence, product strategy, and executive decision-making. This is not a standard roadmap and backlog style PM role—you’ll be responsible for building a clear picture of where the market is heading, how competitors and adjacent players position themselves, and what opportunities Jellyfish should pursue. Your insights will help guide senior leaders across Product, GTM, and Engineering.

Requirements

AI Subject Matter Expert with opinions on the direction of the space and where we should go.
Proven success in software product management, ideally at fast-growing, SaaS-based startups.
Ability to identify what a great product looks and feels like, and have the confidence to challenge the team to produce the best possible result when you know it’s not up to standard.
Being thoughtful, organized, and disciplined. You have a bias to action, thrive in rapidly evolving environments, and take initiative to see things through to completion.
Strong listening and great communication skills - you can clearly and thoughtfully explain product concepts to our customers, and customer use cases to our internal team members.
Experience facilitating and collaborating with high emotional intelligence. You constantly inspire your peers by providing context and strong evidence of the customer and business value of what they’re working on.
Excited by solving complex problems in the simplest possible way, and know what tools to apply when in order to get there.
You’re not afraid to take risks, and you do so in a thoughtful way that ensures you and your team learn no matter the outcome.
A list of job experiences and qualification requirements is great, but humility, a performance-driven attitude, and a team-player approach are most important to us. We love to have fun and win in the process. We only hire people who have a passion for building great companies in an environment where a sense of humor is a must.
Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the US. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.
