About The Position

Babylist is seeking Senior Product Managers to build the next generation of their platform, incorporating AI into product development as an expectation. This role is for individuals who are both skilled product managers and active AI-enabled builders. The Senior PM will own a complex set of features or a customer journey within Babylist's consumer surfaces. Responsibilities include defining product vision, understanding customers and the business, framing problems, sequencing bets, and owning outcomes. Additionally, the role involves standing up working prototypes, querying data and code directly, and contributing to code execution when most valuable. The company values speed in decision-making, execution, and time to impact. This is a dual role requiring the individual to be an exceptional Senior PM and to model AI-native product development practices, setting standards for the team. The Senior PM will be flexible to work on any of Babylist's products, adapting quickly to new areas based on organizational needs and their strengths. The role reports to a Product Director or Sr. Director leader and collaborates closely with Engineering, Design, Data, and other stakeholders.
