Product Manager

AwardSpring • Chicago, IL

About The Position

AwardSpring is seeking an AI-native Product Manager who ships. This role is unique as it involves shipping code directly within the company's codebase, moving beyond traditional spec writing. The Product Manager will own features end-to-end, from idea to production, with engineering support for hardening. This is an individual contributor role on a small product team, reporting to the CTO, and will involve close collaboration with engineering, design, and customer-facing teams.

Requirements

• Shipped production software using Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable agentic tools.
• 3+ years in a product role (PM, tech lead, founder, or similar).
• Comfortable in a codebase; not necessarily an engineer, but unafraid of code.
• Strong opinions about what 'good' looks like - product decisions and craft.
• Willingness to ship one thing that matters over writing three specs.
• Comfortable presenting to customers, executives, and peers.

Responsibilities

• Own outcomes for a product area: discovery, decisions, delivery.
• Ship features end-to-end in our codebase using agentic tooling.
• Make product judgment calls - what to build, what to cut, what good looks like.
• Talk to customers regularly; your voice is the customer's voice in the team.
• Define and track the metrics that matter for your area.

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave
• Top-of-market AI tooling: Claude Max, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and whatever ships next - your call, our budget
• Unlimited token budgets.
• Direct line to the latest models the day they release
• A mature, multi-tenant production codebase - real users, real stakes, real environments to ship in
