About The Position

Affinity is the relationship intelligence CRM platform trusted by private equity, venture capital, and investment banking professionals to unlock the power of their network. We help the world's most sophisticated dealmakers turn relationships into results.
As a Staff Product Manager for AI Platform, you'll lead one of our most strategically important product domains—the foundational AI capabilities that empower product teams across the organization to build intelligent solutions for our customers.
You'll own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for our core AI platform services, including semantic search, AI guardrails, agentic frameworks, and similarity and recommendation models. Your work will directly enable teams to augment workflows, automate processes, and deliver the next generation of AI-powered experiences.
In this role, you will define the platform vision and be responsible for measuring adoption, developer experience, and business impact. You will partner with cross-functional teams to conduct research, run experiments, lead teams through design and engineering sprints, define success metrics, measure impact, and ultimately ship platform capabilities that accelerate innovation across the product portfolio.

Requirements

• 6+ years of product management experience, with at least 3+ years at a B2B SaaS company (enterprise software experience a plus).
• Experience leveraging complex technology to create delightful product solutions and leveraging AI/ML to drive insights and recommendations.
• Experience working on zero-to-one products, or leading experiment-based concepts and prototyping quickly to validate ideas before development.
• Experience collaborating closely with engineering, AI/ML and design teams end-to-end to drive business impact.
• Strong communication skills that foster cross-team collaboration and ensure alignment on key outcomes and objectives.
• Deep understanding and empathy for users.
• Deep interest in how technology can unlock the power of professional networks and transform private capital investing, with enthusiasm for Affinity's mission.

• Build for builders: design APIs, abstractions, and developer experiences that make it easy for product teams to integrate sophisticated AI into their solutions.
• Establish guardrails and governance frameworks that ensure our AI capabilities are safe, reliable, and aligned with responsible AI principles.
• Navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape, evaluating build-vs-buy decisions and staying ahead of emerging technologies and best practices.
• Partner closely with engineering, applied science, and design teams to lead discovery, definition, and delivery of platform capabilities that drive measurable business outcomes.
