Sr. Product Manager, Studio

Higharc•New York, NY

5d•Remote

About The Position

Higharc is a VC-backed startup that is changing how new homes are designed and built. Higharc is seeking an accomplished Senior Product Manager to own Studio, our browser-based 2D and 3D design environment and the surface where plans, options, and the building model are authored. Studio is the origin point for the data Estimate, Showroom, and construction documents all consume.

Requirements

5+ years of product management experience on modern software products.
A track record shipping complex, interactive applications with measurable impact, ideally authoring tools, editors, or design software.
Technical fluency you use directly: you read the architecture, reason about the data model, and make tradeoffs with engineering instead of routing them back.
The judgment to separate defects that erode trust in a tool from ones that are cosmetic.
Experience prototyping to validate ideas quickly using tools like Cursor, Replit, or v0.dev.
Clear communication across engineering, design, and business audiences, and the ability to articulate a hard tradeoff and build consensus behind it.
Exposure to CAD or BIM systems such as Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp, or to browser 3D tooling such as Three.js or WebGL.

Nice To Haves

Professional experience in residential construction, homebuilding, or architecture, especially fluency with plan sets, elevations, options, and how builders manage variation.
Experience shipping AI-assisted capability inside an authoring tool

Responsibilities

Own the vision, roadmap, and execution for Studio's authoring workflow: 2D and 3D editing through plan, elevation, and option management at catalog scale.
Run discovery with drafters and the internal teams who live in Studio daily, watching how they work, not collecting requests off a call.
Partner with Studio Engineering and Building Generation on the API surface between the building model and Studio's interaction and rendering systems.
Set the quality thresholds a design tool lives on for interaction latency, geometric correctness, and undo integrity, then hold them when schedule pressure says otherwise.
Own the metrics: activation and time-to-first-plan for a new drafter, then authoring throughput, plan reuse, and model correctness.
Set direction for how Studio opens to estimating, purchasing, and sales personas without degrading the drafter's workflow.
