Product Manager, Event Planning

Ande•New York, NY

2d•$170,000 - $215,000

About The Position

Ande is hiring a Product Manager to build its product line for teams that plan and host corporate events. The role works with a small team and founding customers to define the product, deliver it, and earn adoption. The Product Manager owns the experience end to end, from event planning and booking through the event and its results, and shapes how AI performs work alongside event teams while keeping people in control where needed. The position also owns the product's foundation, including its core data objects and connections to customers' existing systems. The role partners closely with design and engineering to ship a highly crafted product at startup speed, prototypes ideas directly, and works cross-functionally on launch, positioning, and adoption. It also coordinates with other product managers because the product draws on Ande's marketplace, booking, and payments platform, and defines success measures and prioritization using data, customer feedback, and business objectives.

Requirements

At least 5 years of Product Management experience, including taking at least one product from zero to one with paying customers.
Experience building B2B workflow or collaboration software used by teams every day as the place where work gets done.
Empathy for busy operators and an understanding of how to make complex, multi-step, multi-person work feel simple.
AI-native product instincts, including having shipped features where AI does substantive work within a product and having a perspective on where AI should and should not act.
Strong design sensibility and a high bar for craft, with the ability to partner closely with designers.
Comfort with data models and integrations, including reasoning about core objects, permissions, and synchronization with other systems of record.
An empirical mindset, including engaging with customers, observing their work, and using evidence to resolve debates.
High agency, ownership, and the ability to act without waiting for permission.
