Senior Product Manager II

Slang AI•New York, NY

75d•$189,000 - $211,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Slang’s Product team is hiring a senior product leader to own multiple product areas, or one company-critical area at scale. The role supports restaurants in operating more efficiently with AI and improving customer service through natural conversation, influencing thousands of restaurant interactions each day. The work spans ambiguous 0-to-1 discovery and well-scoped execution, including voice AI conversation quality, onboarding, billing, and platform investments. The role reports to the Head of Product and has no formal direct reports, but coordinates cross-area initiatives, contributes to team-wide discovery and prioritization practices, and helps shape product rituals. The position is hybrid, based at Slang’s NYC headquarters three days a week, with occasional travel for company offsites. The product culture is data-driven and AI-native. The Product Manager will use market research, usage and performance analytics, usability testing, RICE scoring, and AI tools to research, prototype, and deliver. The role includes customer and prospect calls, collaboration with design and engineering, daily standups, biweekly cycle planning, and weekly product leadership meetings. There is an opportunity to build toward people management and to mentor other PMs while helping shape roadmap reviews and planning cadence. Success means owning requirements and outcomes across product areas with minimal oversight, delivering committed company-level milestones, making data- and prototype-informed roadmap recommendations, coordinating cross-area work, communicating trade-offs and risks to executives, and raising the bar for PM craft. Compensation includes a base salary range of $189,000 to $211,000 and equity. The company also offers comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, and professional development support.
